Workbench
This is your hideout workbench. It's got your basic tools and machinery and is a great place to do some heroic tinkering.

Assemble Things
Using just the basics—glue, screws, nails, and other common items that you regularly keep in stock—you can take two items and make something else out of them.

Messagees

Assemble Things

Workbench - Assembling

You look at all the spare items you've picked up. What would you like to try to put together?

Combine:
(X item)

With:
(X item)

[Go MacGyver on 'em]

On fail:
You think real hard, but just like Richard Dean Anderson without a script, you can't come up with any way to combine those two items.

On success:
You get creative and whip up something innovative enough to make Pete Thornton proud.

When creating teardrop gem:
You attempt to use the caustic goo to etch interesting patterns into the gold, but the impure chemical lump dissolves completely under the acidit wash. Well, almost completely. Buried inside is a near-perfect teardrop-shaped gem. Sweet!

When creating hot potato:
You spread the smoldering ash all over the metal sphere. It's a soft metal, apparently, and as the ash sinks into the surface the whole thing melts and squishes under your fingertips. Eventually the whole thing is knobby and oblong, kind of like a potato. The ash has made it perpetually hot, too. Ooh! You start tossing it from hand to hand and then decide you'd better put it down.

When creating smoky pack:
You get out the roman candle wand and light it, because fireworks are cool. Unfortunately a spark from the wand hits your hand, and you drop the wand in surprise. Your hand is okay, but the subsequent barrage of little fireballs completely engulf your backpack. You eventually pat the fire out, but serious damage has been done.

When creating high-jump boots:
Using strips of sinew you rig up extra-bouncy pads on the soles of your boots. It's not quite as reactive as flubber, but it sure puts a spring in your step.

Weld things:

Workbench - Welding

With your welding torch and solder you can weld certain metal items together. You have X lumps of solder.

Combine:
(X item)

With:
(X item)

[Fire Up the Torch!]

On fail:
You can't think of anything useful to make with those two items.

On success:
You get out the welding torch and some solder, and weld the two items together.

Part of your Hideout.
