[QUOTE="Axel, post: 5668267, member: 93196"] Propping and cocking the crossbow, Alden hefted it again, pulling the trigger without a bolt loaded. The recoil was minimal and the mechanism faultless. Still, he grimaced slightly and turned back to the shop owner. [COLOR=deepskyblue]"Regrettably it is not as good as I had hoped it to be, although it is a remarkably...pretty weapon."[/COLOR] [COLOR=#00bfff][/COLOR] [COLOR=white]He hands the crossbow back to the shopkeeper as he shrugs his back off and places it on the floor. Undoing the flaps and reaching inside he grasps the device fragment that had kept him up half the night in the palm of his hand. [/COLOR][COLOR=deepskyblue][I]This guy's pretty desperate to sell. Probably only gets one chance every other year to sell something this expensive. He'd accept anything remotely valuable if it gets the weapon out of the shop and some food on the table. Condidence and bravado man, that's the key. Been missing a bit of that lately.[/I][/COLOR] [I][COLOR=#00bfff][/COLOR][/I] [COLOR=deepskyblue]"Luckily for you, sir, I am partial to a pretty weapon. I have here a lump of alchemical silver recently obtained as payment for consulting services to a wizard.
