"Gluem" Adhesive Gun

"Quickly, before he gets away! If he gets through that door, he's gone!" The door slams shut, the Scoundrel crossing the threshold.

"Ay! He made it through! We need to catch up!" As the Thug approached the door, his hand twisted at the stuck knob. "Yo he locked the door!" Fumbling through his pockets, the Thug produced the key to the door. "We're coming to get you, Scoundrel!"

Gluem Adhesive is an incredibly sticky adhesive which bonds to any object it is applied to. Those who apply Gluem have to be cautious, as improper handling can result in the owner being stuck in unfavorable situations. "Gluem", the company that first branded and popularized the product name and application, have developed the "Gluem" Adhesive Gun, a simple applicator that provides safety when allying the product.

"Gluem" is a by- product of the Glumi, Mound, and "Moshiboom" species of Ooze. The danger of harvesting this product leads many to avoid pursuing applications for its patent of use.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

Gluem Adhesive is applied directly between two objects, which causes them to bond within seconds. This incredibly quick drying glue is removable with special solvents sold by the "Gluem" company (or an ALCHEMY check of DC:20}. These solvents are harmless for the skin, allowing the Gluem to be removed safely.

Once Gluem is bound to two objects, they are inseperable. Only intense applications of force and power can be used to pry two objects that have been bound with this substance (Power DC:20). Without a solvent or other form of alcohol-based removal, the glue lasts indefinitely. The only other thing that removes Gluem are intense sources of heat or cold, at which point they either melt or the substance becomes brittle when frozen.

There are three versions of Gluem Adhesive: Standard, Industrial, and Premium grade "Gluem". Increase the Power DC to separate two objects by + 5 and increase the price to purchase by + 5000 Casho per each Grade above Standard.

Manufacturing process

The process for making Gluem Adhesive takes 2 hours and involves mixing the special regents and compounds into a synthesized paste and filling the desired container with the remaining substance. Ensure to coat all tools and the inner vessel with the counter-agent, which prevents adhesion.

To gather materials from a Glumi or Mound, roll a FORAGE Proficiency check (DC:18). Receive 1d3 vials of Gluem Paste, the compound required to make Gluem Adhesive.

History

"Gluem" originated as the product of a company that knew of the adhesive properties of the Amorpho Gumu species. By harvesting the secretions of the Glumi and Mound, this company created many kinds of products that revolutionized certain machine industries. The owner of the company loved the slimy Glumi, and endeavored to find ways to collect and harvest their potential. Employing Verdamancers, who are able to form positive relationships with these creatures, the "Gluem" company was born, producing the most expensive industrial strength bonding agent on the market. Variations of its strength determines not its bond potential but its difficulty to remove. The company went on to create the popular cultural icon, "Gumu-Gumu" as part of their conservation and regulatory efforts for these creatures.

Significance

As the industrial grade standard adhesive, "Gluem" is a remarkably uncommon product on normal markets. It is expensive yet effective at holding together broken objects or impressively, structures. The practical applications of Gluem include mending broken items, sealing doors or crevices, and applying tile or roofing, since it is waterproof.
There have been a few technologies developed on its design. The Gluem-Lode Block is a type of brick made from Gluem and asphalt that sustains pressure under heat and cold. Buildings made from this material remain sturdy and provide pleasant environments.

Inserting the key, the Thug and his gang rushed into a violent, flailing splash, colliding against the thick door. As they collected themselves, the furious gang turned upon the Thug, "Yo!" The gang took turns clubbing the Thug with their fists. "Ay, what're you doing?! Correct key! NOW!" The impatient Cut-Throats growled!

The Thug tried to remove the key, but it was as stuck as the door! No matter how hard he attempted to open the door or retrieve the key, neither budged under any effort. The gang weas stuck behind the door. Befuddled, the Thug wondered, "What did that Scoundrel do?"
