Slight variation on Gygaxian Democracy here. You have 1-2 days from the first submission to come up with meaning for the word "Unter". They can be anything - Weapons, potions, monsters, something you do...
Then I reveal what I had in mind for it, and see what you came up with. All reasonable suggestions will be used. As such I'd appreciate it if you could provide an alternate name with your submission.
Unter: An alchemical agent that looks and behaves like water when sealed in a glass container. It explodes into purple flames when exposed to air. Excellent for producing explosions in adverse conditions (rain, snow, undersea, etc). Unter is a rare commodity that is both difficult and dangerous to manufacture. Also known as Falsewater.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'm not quite sure how it would work under water though. A very long straw?
ReplyDeleteUsing a two-chamber unter/air vacuum bottle, of course. :-)
ReplyDeleteMakes sense, although you'd have to use a mage hand spell to activate it or something. I'll have to get some for my fae-blood assassin.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a very effective way to trigger it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteUnter: A malevolent etheric double from a subspatial realm.
ReplyDeleteOuch. One thing though: What's the alternate name?
ReplyDeleteA multidimensional stone-based lifeform with a lifespan in measured in the millions of years. Uses the magic of Ubiquity to avoid detection by adventurers hunting the precious metals that run in its veins.
ReplyDeleteAlternate name: Bieloe
Trey,
ReplyDeleteI really like your riff on the German meaning. Sprechen Sie Deutsch?
