There is ample time to go back and fetch another one.ehiker133 wrote:| Possibly WOTE would let us assume Ashtad brought an extra crossbow along, as well? If not, he'd be fine with it being used for that for the night, but would request another be grabbed from the pile for future use. |
Does Desmond/Mondes still want to trap the eastern end of the dorms with a loaded crossbow (after Josiane and Dhren return from the lobby with Hoot?)ehiker133 wrote:Desmond suggests Dorgan secure the northern end of the dormitory, where the great fiery-eyed golem wrecked the wall, by overseeing the shfting of the blocks in the rubble to completely block off the one end by the four men.
While they are doing that, he will use the spare crossbow to secure the door at the other end of the dormitory with some of their wire and small brass pulleys. He won't actually set the trap until they are sure everyone who is going to go into the dormitory for the evening is in the dormitory.
To search the entire abbey would be the work of many days. Let's presume that Dhren has spent an hour or so pacing out and searching the inside wall from the refectory thru to the lobby while the others have been preparing the dorms for a good night's rest.Merctime wrote:Once Dhrenis satisfied that there are no secret places inside the abbey to be found
Ulric is largely unimpressed with it; Dorgan notes that the "timber" is especially hard, but otherwise the three of them conclude the weapon is not of any make commonly known to Men or Dwarfs. It must be imported from foreign parts.flightcommander wrote:Armando shows the foreign-looking crossbow to Ulric and Dorgan, and indeed takes a closer look at it himself.
A fair and noble gesture to be sure, but perhaps not the most strategic optionMerctime wrote:| Of course, Dhren will accept nothing. |
