“One” hit
“Two” hit Pope: “Ouch!”
…
…
“What do we do now?” “Just hit harder, it’s a self-solving problem”
“Three” smash Pope: “OUCH!!!”
…
…
“Now what?”
Is it to make sure, or is it to make sure?
They should abstain from the hammer this time round. Zombie pope is the 2025 twist no-one would see coming.
“I fear the Pope has died!”
“You can’t say things like that! You have to be sure!”
*wham-“Ack!!” wham wham
“OK, I’m sure the pope is dead.”
Live your life such that they have to verify your death
Hit him once. If he is silent, hit him again. If he is silent again, hit him again. If he remains silent, he is dead.
Hit him once. If he shouts, you’ve got two more swings to make him stop.
It’s a silver hammer, so it could also check if the Pope is a werewolf.
Can’t let that happen again.
…again?
The events inspired the band Powerwolf.
Check the bathroom window for finger prints.
I have one of these on my coffee table that’s decoration. Found it just laying in some room when I visited the Vatican in the 90s. Weird.
It gives +5 to-hit and damage, +2d6 holy damage, +5 to carpentry skill, and can only be equipped by Catholics. It deals double damage to lycanthropes.
Yeah, but the lawful evil alignment restriction, fuck that.
may we have a photo?
Silas? Is that you?
What about the holy hand grenade?
First shalt thou take out the Holy Hammer. Then, shalt thou strike three times, no more, no less.
Three shalt be the number thou shalt strike, and the number of the striking shall be three. Four shalt thou not strike, nor either strike thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.
Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, thy pope shall snuff it.
Gotta love The Book of Armaments.
It even used to be in Warhammer 40k as wargear for the Space Marine chapter Black Templars. Special hand grenades called Holy Orbs of Antioch
HAAAALELUJAH
+3 to hit vs. Popes, Cardinals, and Bishops. On hit, Popes who are alive but playing dead must save vs. Fortitude or die.
my favourite fact is that “factoid” doesn’t mean “little fact” but is actually starting to mean that
In this case it seems to fit pretty well.
What does it actually mean?
Edit: Nevermind, @jerkface already answered.
Which side do they hit him with?
Flat, spike, flat
Owwie.
Then flat flat spike spike for good measure
Flat, flat, spike, spike, handle, butt, handle, butt, B, A Start.
Followed by a bop it and twist it.
We already had two popes at the same time, we don’t need 30.
Clearly an anti zombie tool. Can’t have the pope rising from the dead, it’d mess up the church’s image.
The silver hammer of Saint Maxwell.
