Movie-tier dream.
A lot was forgotten until I managed to write it down but it had strange D&D elements mixed in.
So I had Alice's D&D spear but it was very tall, about twice the size of a man with a thick crude wooden shaft. Inspired by the poisoned arrows, I had designed an explosive metal head for it that would explode upon impact. Still I was myself in my usual home. I went out on the street and decided to test it on a nearby tree in a garden behind the fence. Ready to stab my spear into the tree above the fence, it dawned on me, or Alice complained, that this probably was not the best idea and equivalent to discharging a firearm in public. There were people walking on the streets. I thought about coming again at night but this was dismissed as equally idiotic. So I took my spear to Nymphenburg Park to test it there. While the neighborhood had been realistic, the park was unfamiliar. The path branched soon after the entrance and went into thick forest. I decided to go right. But I tripped and the explosive spear head hit the floor and caught fire. Apparently it would explode after burning for a while. I managed to blow out the flame but it kept re-igniting. I knew I had to get rid of the spear before it blew up in my hands - or worse in my face when I tried to blow out the flame but there was a huge group of children on a field trip all around me. I ran with my burning spear trying to leave them behind. Finally in nature, the park had turned into wilderness. There was a metal ladder up an earthen cliff over a pond. For whatever reason I threw the spear at the ladder and it got stuck there, breaking off the metal head which remained stuck while the shaft fell down. You know me, I can't leave things in disorder so I climbed the ladder, removed the explosive spear head that could explode at any sec with my hands and threw it into the pond below. There in went up with a boom making a huge splash. People around raised an eyebrow but didn't investigate this further.
Conclusion:
Explosive arrow or spear heads need further development and testing before they can be deployed to adventurers!
