Tankard (Beermug)

Never go into battle before first tasting your favorite ale. That is the advice you would give any of your fellow Dwarves, for you never know when this may be your last fight.

You slam your Beer Mug onto the table as you await the finest dark ale you know. The tavern was quiet before you walked inside, tense with the anticipation of a coming war, but you are loud and bring life back to its walls. You raise a toast to the barkeep and to any nearby, granting them glory on the battlefield before drinking deeply from your mug.

It would be a true shame to leave this world while thirsty.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Beer Mug with Metal Bands is a throwing weapon handy for impromptu fights against other midnight boozers. The beer mug is cylindrical, standing 20 cm tall with a 18 cm diameter. The mug is carved with a wood texture and coloured brown to resemble the staves of a cask, rimmed with riveted metal-hoops. The hoops connect to the metal-coloured handle which is 8 cm deep, leaving plenty of room for grip. The inside is coloured black, mimicking a dark wax typically found on the inside of wooden mugs.

Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this Beermug will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Also called a “tankard,” which originally referred to any wooden drinking vessel
• Similar to the earliest form of a tankard, which did not have a lid and resembled a barrel
• Earliest form has been found from as far back as 2000 years ago

No self-respecting Viking or Dwarf will be found without one. The Drunken Monks of Sheng famously get drunk before a fight. This allegedly increases their chi-flow and allows them to ignore pain.
The famous wizard Trivellius of Clu had this to say about Sheng in his travel records: "And so I reach Sheng. I was so very thirsty. The sailors brought some watered-down wine but it did not hit the spot. As soon as I entered Kan Port my guide greeted me with a barrel of Martial Stout. Ah! Let me tell you. I could live here forever. I got blind drunk and beat up a child - they say he was a martial arts student but he couldn't have been more than twelve years old - and the town applauded me! Applauded! For assault against a minor! It's paradise!"

You’ve been baking all day, preparing the meat pies sold in your shop window. Flour cakes your arms up to your elbows, and as you wipe at your forehead with the back of your hand, you leave more flour on your face. As you prepare another crust, you see a pair of small hands nabbing a pie from your counter.

You are well versed in pie-thieves, and wielding your Rolling Pin, you thwack the would-be thief across the knuckles. The halfling squeals in pain, running out the shop door as you return to baking. Good riddance!

Life-sized, this pin is 42 cm long with 10 cm handles on either side. Handpainted and sculpted, this Rolling Pin appears to be made of real wood.

Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this throwing weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.
