Ye Olde Aprile Fools Prankes!

Step 3 Ye Olde Golden Ram!

This pranke is derived from an olde confidence tricke. For this pranke, thou wilt need to mixeth grounde Iron Pyrite (easily purchased from thine local alchemist) with flour and milk and useth the substance to cover the coat of a ram to giveth the ram a golden appearance. After the ram is dry, haveth a local stable boy (so as not to arouseth thine fool's suspicion) approach thine Aprile Fool and proposition a sale of the golden ram. Be sure to get a good price for the ram and be sure to giveth yonder stable boy a handsome sum for his worketh.

Because silver is involved in this pranke, to avoid the ire of thine Aprile Fool's peers, be sure to useth the money to purchase ale at thine locale Tavern whilst sharing a heary laugh at thine Fool's expense.

Very sensitive.

Barring some feeble conceit of sobriety, thine local alchemist should kindly note that the powder of iron pyrite is blacke in colour. This contraste between crystal and powdered pyrite is but one of the great mysteries of moderne alchemy.

Busted. Any suggestions for an edit, legionlabs?

Hm, a local artist or alchemist may have in stock some auropigmentum. Mix thou this in a mortar and pestle with clarified butter, tallow, or rendred animal fat as medium. Be thou sure to choose a particularly unwashed ram to cover the smell of these ingredients. Some heretics refer to auropigmentum as "yellow arsenic sulfide" in their strange pagan texts.

[Pasamal]

Anything with arsenic in the compound name is likely to be poisonous to the ram.
