During a visit to Rome, while exploring an old and overgrown park in an obscure quarter of the city, I was pleased and excited to stumble across a bit of nearly forgotten esoterica, the Porta Alchemica!
An alchemist's workshops is a wonderland where miraculous cures and pseudoscientific abominations are spawned from the minds of geniuses in varying degrees of madness and torture.
You're not really an alchemist unless you've survived a few laboratory explosions. But suppose you want to cause an explosion on purpose?
The only thing differentiating this alchemical bomb from a conventional explosive is the crude image of a chicken painted onto its side.
Produced by unscrupulous alchemists, these bombs are painted with grotesque laughing faces in garish colors to distinguish them from conventional explosives.
These specially shaped alchemical explosives resemble conventional bombs with a flat bottom. To differentiate them from more conventional offensive explosives in the heat of battle they are often marked with brightly colored eyes and teeth or painted to resemble moles, groundhogs, or other burrowing creatures.
