SHADOWLORE II
Shadow's Edge Spring Catalog 2056
F-01
--------

>>>>>[ Howdy, howdy! Us folks at the Shadow's Edge are more than happy to
bring you folks the new Spring 2056 line of products, including many new
items for chummers such as yourselves.

Yeah, we know, it ain't Spring yet -- but we're too late for the x-mess
season (or whatever holiday youse is celebratin' this December), and this
catalog is too loaded for anything less than seasonal, so we're calling it
Spring. You might say it was spring-loaded, har har har.

Hope you see something you like! ]<<<<<
--Stainless Steele (17:02:24/11-27-55)

FLASHKNIFE (50 =Y=)
Small switchblade (12 cm open, 6 cm closed) with built-in light
so you can see what you're cutting. Avaliable with red or green LED
illumination.
Conceal. 12, Damage 3L, Avail. 3/12H

STUN-BRELLA (600 =Y=)
Disguised as a classic black personal umbrella, a style virtually
unchanged in the past hundred years, this stun baton delivers 80,000
volts at the touch of a button -- enough to put down even wild thugs for
minutes without permanant damage!
Conceal. Special, Reach 1, Damage 6S Stun, Avail. 6/48H

METEOR FLARES (3 for 50 =Y=)
Each seperate self-contained unit shoots 150 meters into the air,
and lights up bright enough to be seen 30 kilometers away. Waterproof,
floating.
Conceal. 12, Avail. 2/12H

WRISTWATCH MICRO-CAMERA (1,200 =Y=)
Looks like a standard digital wristwatch, but can take up to seven
full-color flatscreen pics on each mini-chip (extra chips are 25 =Y=
each.) Specialized circuitry, inactive until used, cannot be detected by
standard anti-surveillance devices.
Conceal. Special, Avail. 6/72H

EXILIR OF THE SKUNK (30 =Y=)
Imagine thugs fleeing in terror without even raising your hand.
Simply squeeze this plastic cylinder to break the glass ampule and
release a few drops of synthetic skunk oil -- 100 times as potent as the
real stuff!
Each application comes with another chemical to neutralize the
synthetic odor.
Conceal. N/A, Avail. 5/36H

WIRELESS PROFESSIONAL SECURITY ALARM
Infrared sensor, adjustable for height, detects any motion within
20 meters in a 100 degree arc. Arms or disarms with either your personal
code or your thumbprint, or both. Avaliable models include the "screamer"
(100 db pulse alarm), or the "notifier" (automatically dials any preset
phone number.)

Screamer with keypad 40 =Y=
thumbscanner 80
both 95
Notifier with keypad 150
thumbscanner 190

Conceal. none, Avail. 4/48

"BLUE BLAZER" MICRO-TORCH (40 =Y=)
At 1400 degrees farenheit, the new 8 cm. Blue Blazer will ignite
a wet campfire, harden metals, fuse plastics, cut rope like a laser beam,
or thaw a frozen mechanical lock in about half a second.
The blue-hot flame is windproof, rainproff, and completely
adjustable. Indoors, it can even solder jewelry, copper, and electric
components. The detachable safety stand allows total hands-free
operation. It can even sterilize razors and needles -- a must for any
first-aid kit.
Conceal. 6, Reach N/A, Damage 6M, Avail. 4/48H

BALANCED SLEEVE KNIVES
Carried by government secret agents for over a 125 years, some
things just can't be improved. Slip one out of its triangular arm
holster. Perfectly balanced. Twin edged. Street tough and emergency
sharp, yet thin enough to completely disappear when you want it to. Pair
them up -- seperately or even in the same sheath. All the back-up you'll
ever need.
20 cm 10 =Y= Damage (STR+2)L
12.5 cm 9 =Y= Damage (STR)L
Set of both 17 =Y=

Conceal. 9, Damage see above, Avail. 3/24

NINJA CLIMBING CLAWS (pair, 100 =Y=)
It has been said that a ninjitsu master could walk through
walls. Here's a less painful method: steel Ninja Hand Claws strap to
your wrist and palms and send you _over_ walls -- or up the sides of
cliffs or buildings. Tough and serious welded design for rescue, spec-op
training, law enforcement or surveillance.
Gravity is still gravity -- not for amateur use (uses
Athletics/Climbing specialization, can default to skill web as usual.)
Avail. 3/36

COMMANDO BLOWGUN
One of the most ancient and deadly of weapons was the blowgun;
silent, concealable, and easy to use.

can be fully utilized at half-size (TN increases by 2).

9 dm 17 =Y= Conceal. 2 (full length)
Conceal. 3 (half length)
