Quite a while back, somebody came up with the suggestion that there
should be some kind of traps you could set such as a type of bomb that
would explode...
	I suggest we make a new weapon which would be something like
the bomb device.... The weapon is called a calthrope (ancient weapon
which is simply a ball with many jagged spikes sticking out.)
This could be used two (possibly 3 ways)
1> wielded as a weapon (which because it is so sharp will inflict damage
   upon the wielder when a monster is hit.
2> hurled at a monster.
3> it could be placed the ground in hope that a monster might stumble
   upon it which will slow it down and inflict damage......
