[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 1605228, member: 10109"] The gnolls carry no hand or throwing axes. I assume Tullius uses Latin when attempting to communicate. The old man listens respectfully, then tilts his head sideways, points to his ear and shakes his head. Ehldannis claims the scrolls and the scroll case as his own. The bow is the more interesting find to the party. It is truely a thing of beauty. It is made of wood as black as night, and inlaid with gold, yet no heavier than a standard bow of its type (composite long). In several places, the gold seems to be reinforcing the strength of the bow. Even if unmagical, it would fetch a good price in Rome. Of the interested parties, it is quickly determined that only Tullius and Octar are able to shoot it with any efficiency. For the others, the pull is simply too strong to allow accurate shots. (Ehldannis can't budge it at all.) For both Octar and Tullius, the bow seems to be asking for use. Made perfectly for them, its beaty and functionality seems to call for an arrow to be notched, for the cord to be pulled smoothly back to the ear, for the arrow aimed high for maximum distance, and for the blood of the enemy to be shed.
