Location:

Assassins Guild branch office (behind the guild shop), Sto Lat.

Language:

Morporkian – Sto Lat Accent

Notes:

The blowpipe is primarily an assassins weapon, though anyone can master its use.
Its purpose is to propel a dart dipped in poison into the neck of the target, thus rendering them at a disadvantage.

Faster and more accurate than thrown things, slower than a crossbow, but lighter and far more stylish.
The blowpipe is one of the best methods of inhumation, although personal preference would greatly affect your opinions in regards to this. 

If you are going to use a blowpipe though, then you will no doubt wish to design your own.

Material:

Klatchian steel, darkened steel, agatean steel, electrum, platinum, mahogany, walnut, bamboo, silver, pewter, bronze, copper, ivory, brass, steel, iron, bone, teak, gold and oak.

Style:

Streamlined, slender, chunky, narrow, light, heavy, thick and thin.

Pattern:

The pattern is entirely up to you.

You enter the Editor once Madame Estina asks you about the pattern and can enter anything you like, provided it conforms to the MUDs decency rules. Standard ** on empty line and then save to finish.

Price:

Example:

A weapon of great beauty and grace, this streamlined blowpipe has been expertly made from darkened steel. The length of the blowpipe has been etched with a pattern of A delicately etched Gryphon flying through a circle of red flames.. Definitely a professional's tool.

Additional Notes:

Custom blowpipes judge about the same as the dwarf made silver blowpipe, which costs 26 dollars from Assassins Guild equipment stores. The wooden blowpipe is a much poorer weapon, but only costs A$4.

You can buy darts from most Assassions Guild equipment stores for A$1.50 each. Rubber darts are 25p.

The darts are designed to hold poison and are not much good without it. A lethal poison must be used to close a contract.

Scabbards:

A blowpipe cover A$2 from Sto Lat guild shop. Blowpipe only. Made of black silk and worn around the waist as a belt.

Black leather wristband A$8 from Assassins Equipment stores. Sheathes 3 darts and uses bracelet slot.

There is a sash available from the Ninja Guild equipment store which sheathes 3 darts and a blowpipe.

By sheathing the weapon pre-loaded you can carry an extra dart, but poison will drain away.
