[Resolved] How To Learn The Ways Of The Bombs

[+ Reggieo + 112]

What would Sissiro need to do in order to either learn or be taught how to use Smoke and confetti bombs to lighting up his villainous acts?

[Yoff 328]

Wouldn't that use gunpowder?

 

I am not aware of how smoke bombs work.

Well, considering gunpowder has been removed from the world, you'd have to write up lore for a substance that could propel and disperse smoke and other such things effectively enough to be useful. Otherwise, there's not much of a way I can think of besides perhaps a smoke potion of some sort, or a similar alchemical creation.

I have to wonder... what propels fireworks?

[ThanksChris 605]

Hmm. Well, of that I'm not sure. But gunpowder was certainly removed upon our transition to Anthos. I've asked a Lore Master to bring it up in the Lore Chat and should have some sort of response for you soon. Thank you for your patience! Anyhow, as far as the smoke bombs, as I said, you'd simply need lore for a substance that could effectively manage such a task.

Besides gunpowder other things may be used to create those effects, but they would require IC knowledge. Of those things, alchemy would probably be one way to go. Some plants when burnt also create smoke, and various chemicals. But for this, you would have to create lore, on how your character learnt of these things and how they are made.

As for the fireworks, as I said, there are other ways besides gunpowder to be used for such things.

Hmm. Well, apparently there is no official lore written up on fireworks at the moment, but it can be assumed unless someone wishes to create lore for it that they are operated by redstone, or some form of magic. If you'd like to write up lore on the subject, I'm sure you'd be more than welcome. As far as the smoke bombs, I believe that point has been thoroughly addressed. If you have any other questions regarding the matter, feel free to say so now, otherwise add a [Resolved] tag to the title of the thread and I'll have it moved along as soon as I can.

I do believe if you catch saltpeter and sugar on fire it creates something akin to a smoke grenade.

"Smoke bombs" I don't think even use gunpowder. It's composed of Saltpeter and Sugar. That's all. I think it's 3:2 saltpeter to sugar. Sugar we already have in MC, but saltpeter, or Salt of Petra as it was called in medieval times, can be obtained by submerging bat guano in water then filtering it... That is according to Wikipedia. That can probably be RP'd but there isn't really an item to represent it. Maybe a GM can just give you some renamed sugar, because both ingredients look the same.

Well, I'm going to complete this query since there haven't been any further questions asked. If you're still confused on any of the points mentioned or would like this thread reopened for any reason, simply PM me and I'll see what I can do. Good luck to you!
