the cleek

the house's second weapon, and it is barely a weapon: cast the hook eight honest blocks and it pulls. a creature comes to you; a block you bite pulls you to it; a fish you can actually see can be speared where it swims. range and timing are the whole skill, and both are in your hands rather than in a cooldown.

it has manners built in. an owned animal refuses the hook's roughness outright, and villagers and traders refuse it entirely — the cleek is for the wild and the walls, not for dragging your neighbours around.
