"What can this weapon do? Everything! You push this button here, and it goes BOOM! What? Why do I have a fake hand? What does that have anything to do with anything? Hey! Come back here! It's safe, really!"
-GUNDIK MAR, GADGETEER EXTRAORDINAIRE
Role: Laboratories filled with the pounding thud of machines. Exhaust pipes relieving their foul selves into the cluttered confines that is the gadgeteer's laboratory. Pitted and scored wooden tables covered with wrenches, hammers, and clamps of varying sizes. Puddles of grease and grime. Bowls full of lug nuts and rivets. A fireplace heating a cauldron filled with a recipe for balaena blubber rubber. Blueprints for clockwork battle axes , pendulum hammer hatchets, repetition poking stilettos, smoke pot bomb-tip arrow launching flight tubes, and a half dozen, or more, sketches and scribbles of mechanical magical ideas are always scattered about the room; often spilling from the neglected ornate armchair in the corner to the stained floor.
"A little gear here, a trans-axle there,
and a spell-crystal engine placed here should do the trick!"
