"musketeers & rifles" updated: the black powder bongaloo: flintlock update (v1.0.5)

the black powder boogaloo: flintlock update 🔗

hark, ye block-headed knaves! cease thy dalliance with high-tech sorcery and automated tomfoolery, for we bringeth forth the reliability of ancient lead and singular purpose. whether thou seekest to settle a grievance at the break of dawn or merely wishest to play the part of a mounted officer who hath misplaced his noble steed, we present two new engines of thunder for thy luanti arsenal.

they be sluggish in the hand and foul with the breath of sulfur; verily, thou shalt pray for a second piece when the foulest of mobs endureth thy first volley.

the "fine print" 🔗

of reloading: mark how the moments pass—six seconds and a half. in such a span, a man might brew his broth, ponder his sins, or find himself devoured by a beast of the sands.

of the sulfurous mists: to discharge the 1807 within a dark cavern is to play at "blind man's buff" with death itself, for the smoke shall shroud thy foe and thy fate alike.

of the marksman’s poise: the wogdon is for the courtly soul who craves a steady hand. yet, be warned: to aim with such grace requires a leaden foot, for thou shalt move with the swiftness of a stone to maintain thy dignity. stay smoky.
