From the notes of Gimblestan, First Assistant to King Ak-'Anon the XVII, Master of the Tinkering Arts.<br />
<br />
'''Volume XIV'''<br />
<br />
Today our party embarked upon a quest of high adventure,<br />
setting out to catch that most elusive of prey, the crafty<br />
minotaur. Zookeeper Visgig had posted a rich reward for a<br />
live capture - I believe that he is looking for a new zoo<br />
exhibit. The rest of my party seemed to be interested in the<br />
money; my reason was to field-test my latest inventions.<br />
<br />
Once into the Steamfont Mountains, I produced the<br />
first of my new toys, a portable location detection<br />
unit. I call it a COMPASS, after my wife Compassvna,<br />
<br />
who never can seem to orient her way anywhere. The design<br />
is quite simple. Taking a pie tin, I filled it with a<br />
flask of water. After running a static orb over an<br />
old skewer, I stuck the skewer into a cork and<br />
placed it in the pie tin. The others were quite<br />
impressed with the functionality.<br />
<br />
Journal Note: Transvin suggested a new device, a<br />
MECHANICAL LOCKPICK. I think this could be<br />
accomplished quite easily. Materials to try - lockpicks,<br />
gears, sprockets. Perhaps a rat ear, for use in the<br />
amplification of the sound. Must try to make one when we return.<br />
<br />
As night approached, I brought out my FLAMELESS<br />
TORCH. Yet another simple device I am surprised nobody<br />
else thought of. Taking a large lantern, I removed the<br />
regular fuel system and replaced it with a flask of<br />
firewater. Wrapping it with metal twine produces a<br />
gentle light, as the heat from the firewater causes<br />
the twine to glow.<br />
<br />
Our hunting party was very appreciative.<br />
<br />
As we approached the minotaur settlement, our warriors<br />
unstrung their bows. Jarnikiv, Master Fletcher, had provided us with a new<br />
type of composite bow, one using CAMS. The gears and<br />
gnomish bolts, once greased, gave our composite bows<br />
range superior to our old recurve bows. With these<br />
ready we crept stealthily through the night. Transvin,<br />
scouting ahead, reported the far-off sound of minotaur singing.<br />
