Gun & Rune Cannon Supplies are tools and items which are useful to those who wield guns and rune cannons. In this section of the general store you would find everything that is needed to keep your gun or rune cannon in top condition and the black powder needed to fire your guns. If you wield a gun, you will need the items found in this section. While you may be able to get by without some of the items here, it is strongly recommended that you try to get at least the basics needed to care for your fire arm.
This shop covers many different types of items, but the one thing they have in common is that they are for guns and rune cannons and the care of these weapons. Some of these items are aimed at gun wielders, providing gun loading tools and black powder, both of which are items not needed by rune cannon wielders. However there are also items that take care of your gun, such as tools to clean out the barrel of your gun, to keep your rune cannon core polished and scratch free, or to keep the lock and trigger from sticking. These items could prolong your use of your gun and prevent any nasty and unfortunate surprises later on in your adventures.
The Importance of Gun Care
While it is true that rune cannons also should be cared for, it is especially important for guns. Guns have many moving parts and use black powder to propel their ammunition. Without nightly cleaning, issues can arise.
Cleaning: For each night that passes without cleaning your gun’s barrel, its misfire range increases by 1. Cleaning resets it. A gun left uncleaned for 7 nights is fully clogged and cannot fire until its barrel is replaced. Cleaning is important no matter what lock is used due to the build up of black powder in the barrel.
Oiling: A gun that isn’t oiled at least once per game week becomes fouled; its misfire range increases by 1 more until oiled.
Cleaning your rune cannon core properly protects it from cracking under normal use, which would render the rune cannon unusable. Cracking is far less common than a gun becoming fouled or jammed, but it can happen - especially in situations that expose the core to significant dirt, subject to GM discretion.
Bullet molds let you quickly and cheaply make your own round ball bullets.
Never should you neglect the care of your gun. To do so could later come back to cost you more than the few shillings it cost just to get the right supplies.
