"Yes, the missile weapon in question will be for me to use. Hmmm," Uulark looks in his quite slack-looking money pouch, "I would like to get myself a crossbow, but I seem to be lacking sufficient gold to afford a crossbow and still have enough for a supply of quarrels. Looks like I"ll be hurling javelins, at least for now."
 

"You know," Shazi comments blandly. "If you gave ME a crossbow, I could just hover at the ceiling and shoot it until it died, without ever getting close enough for it to hit me."

He shrugs.

"You never did answer that question about Talashia and fiends though. Should I take that as a yes?"

"I didn't answer you, Shazi, because I didn't think that you were seriously asking me that question. I have never known her to consort with devils, so the answer is 'no.' And that's an interesting point you make about the crossbow. You wouldn't be able to operate a crossbow that was sized for me, would you? And, incidentally, in order for you to hover at the ceiling and shoot the beast with a crossbow until it died, you'd first have to grow your wings until they doubled in size so that you could still fly while carrying all of the arrows you would need."

Shazi rolls his tiny, glowing little eyes.

"Why wouldn't I be asking you?" he asks, irritated. "You've known her longer than I have. As for the arrows, forget it then. If I had my full powers as a proxy of the Storm, I'd just fry it from on high, but it looks like you guys are on your own now."
 


"We'll hook you up with a crossbow just in case. And no I don't think Talashia consorts with fiends. I think she'd like us to believe that she does, but I don't think she really does."
 

Shai leans over to the others as Talashia talks at a distance.

"Um, I think they're talking about us," he says nervously as the half-orc indicates them. "Does that mean we should go to them, or hide?"

"I never liked being talked about in the third person in the military, either," says Buurt to Shai, however it's with a toothy grin, for the oddly personable half-orc. "But, at least I'm lucky enough to escape her usual notice."
