What does [THING] look like?

If you have less than a certain amount of coins, the coins you have turn into 'a pile of coins' instead of 'a pile of allanaki coins'. Why? I dunno.

I need some help with siltfruit. It's not so much thr visual, it's the taste and texture that I just can't get a grip on.

I've always imagined them to be something like overripe cantaloupe...thick, grainy, yet strangely melt in your mouth. A very thin skin..something like a plum. And then they just taste meaty, I'd guess like boiled beef of some kind. Not entirely flavourful, but still has a distinctly meaty taste.

That's how I've always thought of it, at least.

I thought of them kinda like squash and cuccumber hybrid... no real taste to it... (I hope I'm remembering the taste description right...)

i always thought of it as a warm, thick, syrupy vegetable (to your mind) that is technically a fruit (to science.) like tomatoes. And pleasantly shaped like grey and pink peaches with thicker skins and inerestingly rough surface textures. I think that last part is my imagination.

There is, but they're essentially the same thing. It's just a weird code oversight thing that crops up on occasion. They combine together when placed in the inv anyway.

I wish I was kidding but that's really what it looks like.

I never understood why the travelling knapsack wasn't more popular, anyway.

A few stones' difference or something? :P

I think everyone sees "bahamet-embroidered" and assumes it has some badass stitchery on the back.

People just like looking like first-graders, I guess. That, and nobody reads mdescs these days it seems.

These are leg guards. Except they are actually assless. Like assless chaps. This guy is hanging out for all to see. Oh, and they're covered in shit stains. Yeah.
All the world will be your enemy. When they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.

make it the realistic color, and if i'm lucky, change it to a gortok or scrab pack and i'd wear it if it held at least 30 stones.

a kryl pack would be bliss.

If you walk around with a kryl on your back, you're likely to take a polearm to the face.

If you read the mdesc, it's actually ambigious. Can be read as both "embroidered with a bahamet, head and feet embroidered as well and just sticking out from the shell" or "pack embroidered as a bahamet shell, head and legs sticking out as extra parts".

So I'm still not convinced that backpack is actually bahamet-shaped.

Someone says, out of character:

I am totally convinced that backpack is bahamet shaped because that is funnier.
