Won this tonight. It's nifty, but I don't have any archers.
glance
You glance down to see a thin-grained sephwir light crossbow inlaid with curled mithril scrollwork
look cross
You glance at a thin-grained sephwir light crossbow inlaid with curled mithril scrollwork. The sephwir light crossbow has a small windlass attached to it. It seems to be in fine working order, the cording recently replaced and the crank and winch well oiled.
rub cross
You polish your sephwir light crossbow with your hand, trying to remove all the imperfections.
tap cross
You scrutinize the tiller of your crossbow, occasionally running your thumb along the crossbow's surface, looking for flaws.
turn cross
Your grab the windlass attached to the crossbow and turn it, smoothly cocking it.
Roundtime: 3 sec. (3 sec. time even if you are weak - won't pull you from hiding, etc.)
push cross
Carefully planting your foot firmly on the ground, you brace the prod of your crossbow against it securely. With the ease of long practice you slip the bowstring from one nock, twist it several times to tighten, and slide the knot's loop back into position.
pluck cross
You give your crossbow string a good pluck, testing it for proper tension.
The string makes a high pitched *twang* as you release it. (This also works from hiding (no pull) or invisible)
You hear a high pitched *twang* coming from somewhere nearby.
toss cross
You toss your crossbow a few inches in the air, catching it adroitly as you swing it around and sight down its length.
point cross at cece
You carefully sight down your sephwir light crossbow and along the shaft at Cecelia.

Took it for a test drive with my wizard that had a few TPs to spare:
[Melgorehn's Valley, Grasslands]
The grass waves about you, rustling in the breeze. In the distance you can hear the river running, and the call of the occasional frog. A headless, dead fish lies on the ground, toothmarks evident in the body. Whatever took a bite from this fish had very large teeth. You also see a lesser orc and a lesser orc.
Obvious paths: north, southeast
>prep 506
You snap your fingers, and a blinding wash of blue races across your field of vision, accompanied the kiss of a stiff breeze.
Your spell is ready.
>cast
You gesture.
You begin to notice the world slow down around you. Strange.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
