[QUOTE="Archon Basileus, post: 7440185, member: 6855545"] [B]EVERYONE[/B] The weapons are easily accessible. It seems that the rack was left in a hurry, thus remaining unsecured - a very irresponsible and strange attitude, considering the mass of protocols followed and presented by the Teraphim. As the overhears the prince and sees Lyllie's and Harfik's interest, the captain rises to his feet, opening the rack and offering the weapons to the visitors. "Please, go ahead." - his own eyes widen as he sees what's on display, as if pleasantly surprised. He measures the prince, reaches out for one of the vibroblades and brings it to Aanzu, offering it with a bow. "Your Highness, if it pleases you, go ahead. These are fine weapons that we considered lost to us. Made by one of our skilled artisans, they hold special qualities that might please you and your entourage. We'd be honored if you accepted them as a gift." - surely the Captain learns the rules of a game quite fast, as Harfik notices. He turns around, doing the same with a crossbow and presenting it to Thulwar. "We call them lasguns... These ones are... Special, emissary." - he eyes the gnome as if he had noticed what had happened with the cube. "You might notice a certain pattern to these engravings here..." - all weapons seem to have some sort of magical language woven into them. "Our Semiomancers participated in their confection. You might find it satisfying to employ" - he gives one to Yttrian - "...or to reverse-engineer..." - he smiles, and throws a third one towards Ajax. Harfik notices great complicity between the warrior and the Captain. Apparently, the offering does not have a sort of hostage-exchange tone to itself, but Ajax' selection is not at random. Odds are that the soldier can survive if left alone amidst enemies, and Harfik thinks he understands why... Ajax is not exactly a fighter... He doesn't move like one, at least.
