Samophlange Operator

Created by the pioneering - yet highly controversial - inventor Hal'aster in 627, the Samophlange is a large steam-powered device of noise and sound that takes a number of different items that are fed into it and - through the magic of goats and technology - turns them into something else. It accomplishes this via a collection of doodads connected to a central whatchamacallit that powers the various thingamajiggers that in turn cause the fandangles of the dohickey to fashion the whatsis and whosis of the jiggers in order to move the dojiggy of the widget, which results in the final product. Surrounded by catwalks and steam-inlet pipes, the Samophlange is a wondrous example of Halaghi Technology done right!

- The Samophlange

A Halaghi skilled in Samophlange Operation is able to use The Samophlange in Um-Halagh to construct a number of wondrous (and often highly dangerous) items that would otherwise be unconstructable.

Samophlange operators are learned in the design principles of the pioneering inventor Hal'intlocke, and are often able to create perfect replicas of the numerous (and often controversial) items that have spawned from his mind.

Replicas of The Boomstick, The Kaboomstick, The Kablamstick, the Backpacker Steamtonk, and the Goat Natch Pebble Catch are examples of what can be created via the Samophlange by one who understands how to make use of the central whatchamacallit that powers the various thingamajiggers.

They also understand what The Samophlange requires to make these items, ensuring that what they want is actually what they'll get back seven times out of ten. It should also be noted that Samophlange operators are often treated as wildcards by the people of Halagh.

In practical fact, one can categorize the creations of the Samophlange Operator by two simple and unique criteria:

1) The creations of the Samophlange tend to involve that rarest of resources to the underground-dwelling race: Wood.

2) They tend to be, but are not always, at least as dangerous to the operator as they might be to any enemy.

Items the Samophlange Operator can create include:

The Boomstick

Backpacker Steamtonk

Goat Natch Pebble Catch

The Kablamstick

The Kaboomstick

Thunkstick
