On The Luminous Arms
It's around midnight. Or is it morning? I'm not sure. I've spent the entirety of the day trying to figure this out. Much of the weapons that Romilius and I conceived are problematic. The ones that are already well designed are fine. Functional for the shop to sell. The problem is the spring lock mechanisms need a rail to function and that needs more springs. In the end any such mechanism would need a far larger space to accommodate the springs. You could increase the size of the weapon but it would then become awkward to aim and fire. Overall, it's not possible. Not until the springs can be completely uniform and functional at far smaller sizes and deliver the same amount of power. Hopefully it wont disappoint anyone too much. Crossbows remain the best option at range. While doing this though I did realize that minimizing friction on the bolt's rail and tuning the strings even more will result in a more powerful shot. Not a total loss.
Well, Romilius should at least be happy about that. Among the other products, I have the intention to create the poisons I used during those times. Gaseous forms, liquid forms, even traditional poisons through indigestion.
I no longer have and qualms any restraint on making such things. Poison is what got me here. I might as well embrace it. Of course I will still have restraint on using them. I will avoid making such a mistake as I did a decade ago.
Hopefully, the other owners will agree with that too. If they don't allow it I have no problems not making them. It is after all, always an ethical procedure of all involved. It's not my shop either so its not my call anyway haha!
The Luminous Arms. I'll help prop them up.
The plans for the mobile ballista have been finalized. A cost of 250 gold coins. Feasible. Once it's made I'll have to show off to Talys. It'll be fun. Maybe it'll make a good fishing tool. Romilius would probably jump upon the idea. It seems like he's readying for a merchant fleet. Artillery will be used for such a thing. Besides, it's so boring on the islands doing nothing. It's nothing like my time fighting the Orcs or the Drow. Everything is peaceful. Even the missions are relatively nominal in danger. I think I expected too much from the Luminaries. It's so banal. If I keep going like this, I'll end up making an armory. Enough for a small army. Actually. No. That's a wonderful idea.
I'll do just that.
