Ax of L'rose

Ax of L'rose This is that legendary, ancient ax that the great hero L'rose used to banish the Underworld Tree when it rose from the lower dimensions hundreds of years ago. What, you've never heard of the Ax of L'rose? It fought amazingly well in three quests, then less impressively on a couple more quests, then it vanished for twenty years, surfacing briefly, but always with different handles and decorations. Now you've got it, and the edge is pretty much worn off of it, but it'll probably still do for slaying the Underworld Tree. I mean, it's better than nothing, right? Type: weapon (2-handed axe) Damage: 5 - 10 Cannot be traded or discarded (In-game plural: Ax of L'roses)

• Weapon-Specific Hit Messages:

You use your illusion, which is ineffective. Then you use your Ax to hit for X damage. ZAP! WHAM! BIFF!

You welcome <it> to the jungle. Your welcome basket consists of X whacks to the face. KERBLAM! BARF! BARF!

You hax <it> with your Ax for X damage. Your appetite for destruction is briefly quenched. POW! ZAP! BOINK!

You hit <it> a little, but a little doesn't do it, so you hit <it> more and more. You do X damage. BIFF! ZOT! KERBLAM!

• Special message after winning a fight in The Shivering Timbers before killing Underworld Tree

	With a last swing of your mighty ax, the tree falls, and because you're there to hear it, it makes a sound. The faint groan that is the tree's death rattle is answered by a distant roar of arboreal fury. You're not sure what made that noise, but you hope you don't come face-to-trunk with it.

• Special message upon killing Underworld Tree

	A cold Petember rain begins to fall, but you don't cry; you use a little patience and hack away with the Ax of L'rose until the Underworld Tree falls. I wouldn't say it was so easy, but you did it! Now all you have to do is clear out the remaining undead trees, and everything can go back to as normal as everything gets around here.
