WTF is happening here? Did he leave powder in front of him?

AltairdeFiren 174 points175 points 2 years ago

If you look close, you can see a small black box to his left. That's got gunpowder in it.

I guess someone didn't realize that guns create miniature explosions with small blast radius' instead of spitting out the bullet like The Mask.

Uovoted for the Mask reference

He was attempting the assassination of a wizard, he missed. The wizard retaliated immediately casting a ranged spell turning all foes into rakes instantly. You then see the camera tumble to the ground as the camera man suffered the same fate.

The head off a wizard or you'll be a rake or hoe.

Damn that's two failed wisdom saving throws. Those dudes need a paladin in their squad.

karl2025 20 points21 points 2 years ago

Ugh. Nobody needs a paladin in their squad. They're all like "Stop stealing everything" or "stop murdering innocents" or "there are spells other than fireball, I'm not made of healing"... I'd rather have a good druid. They're granola eaters, but at least they have drugs.

Its a simple spell, but quite unbreakable.

Looks like some one has a muzzle loader and they left their powers near the firing line.

MarvinParanoAndroid 28 points29 points 2 years ago

Such a great idea... oh well...

Resevordg 6 points7 points 2 years ago

Yup, this is what happened.

Faelwolf 57 points58 points 2 years ago

Yep, open can of powder, caught an ember from the rifle. This is a great example of why you don't do this, and also why you always load from a smaller container, never the can. Worse I've heard of was a guy who left the cap off his powder horn and set it off as he was wearing it on his side. ouch!

qwertyrave 14 points15 points 2 years ago

He went up against a Powder Mage.

jgriner 4 points5 points 2 years ago

Id guess it's a muzzle loader, he spilt powder all over the table, but that's a guess on my part, I've never done muzzle loading. Or I hear that it has something to do with a wizard.

FordLightning 7 points8 points 2 years ago

Yep. The damn dummy left loose powder sitting out in front of him as he shot a blackpowder rifle that shoots slow, loose sparks out of the front.

Peaurxnanski 0 points1 point 2 years ago

It's a muzze-loading rifle. Like a musket, kind of. It uses loose gunpowder and a lead bullet that you ram down the barrel.

He has a container of the loose gunpowder on the bench, open. When he fires, sparks from either the primer, or the muzzle flash, blew back and fell into the container of gunpowder, igniting it.

It's a dumb mistake, but an easy one to make if you don't understand that muzzle-loading guns, especially, belch smoke and flame everywhere when you shoot them.

MarvinParanoAndroid 0 points1 point 2 years ago

Looks like a Yosemite Sam situation that was preventable... I hope nobody was injured.

Peaurxnanski 1 point2 points 2 years ago

Definitely preventable. There's nothing about the gun, itself, that caused this. It's not like guns routinely create explosions like this.

That being said, it's an easy mistake to make if you're not paying attention, or just not quite aware of that specific danger.

If I had to guess, he was mildly singed and ended up with funny looking eyebrows for a while, but was otherwise unhurt.

Dreggan 0 points1 point 2 years ago

he's gonna smell nothing but burnt gun powder for a while too.
