lugnut: donro appears normal, but hes almost got a potent electric current flowing through him.
Shadowed: ou heft the lightnig gun over you shoulder. it was made by goblins, so some of the dials and switches are not usable by you. but it has a lever on the to of the stock, and a pair of triggers.
nightlight: you join the adventure midway through. you are a alchohol wizard, bestowed with mighty intoxicating powers. and I void your cloak. but I do get the reference. perhaps you can have Norths ludicrisly useful coat. get the reference?
lugnut(again): you walk over to shadowed and make a thourgh examination of his new lightnig gun. because you are a gnome, you recognize this a modified version of a prototype "electricity caster device" when you worked for the gnomish university of engineering. it is very complex, and the job of decipering its use is made harder by the goblins modicfications to the design. what you can discern is that you flick a switch to turn on the motor, which takes 1 turn to start. then you can pull the lever forward of backwards to widen of naroow the lightnig blast. finally, yo pull the first trigger to let the electricity flow, and the second to fire it. there are many other dial and switchs, but as far as your concerned, they do nothing to affect the gun.
everybody: you get a good look at the room that the goblins were in. its a fancy, brick room with an elegent hardwood reception desk on the far wall. two doors lie to either side. one says "resocialization" and the other says "barracks".
offtopic: tomarrow, I will be 13 years old.
