"Droughtman says, "The smooth long bow carved with a tiny swallow at each tip is a three-times enchanted bow that creates randomly enchanted and potentially poison-flaring arrows. It's really nice."

Scripts (There may be more):

pull bow
You raise your bow and draw back on the bowstring, pulling until your fingers are even with your ear, to test the strength of the draw. After satisfying yourself that the draw is correct you slowly release the tension on the bowstring, lowering your bow.

push bow
Carefully planting your foot firmly on the ground, you brace the lower limb of your bow against it securely. With the ease of long practice you slip the top loop of the bowstring from the nock, twist it several times, and slide the knot's loop back into position.

tap bow
You scrutinize the limbs of your bow, occasionally running your thumb along the bow's surface

rub bow
You polish your long bow with your hand, trying to remove all the imperfections

toss bow
You toss your bow a few inches in the air, catching it adroitly and settling your hand comfortably around the grip.

point bow
You carefully sight down your long bow and along the shaft.

a tiny swallow at each tip

Each tiny swallow adds up to a large one.

I talked to Paul about this yesterday, so I figured its worth noting here that these are enchantable by PP. The bow enchant will increase, making the arrow variability smaller (5x bow will produce +1 - +25 arrows). Cost for 4x would be 4000 (+1000 for the flares and +1000 for the combat script), so these can make good PP projects for archers.

No, not exactly.

The arrows will still be 1-30, but since the bow enchant increases and its a combination and the result cannot be more than +50.

Semantics I know, it does the same thing, effectively raising it +5 for each enchant to the bow, but want to be mechanically correct.

Heh!

They also have one called The Clap that is funny but this one is appropriate to the swallows comments. I would never have seen them if not that my 2 year old knows how to use youtube on the iPad and finds the craziest stuff.

Give it a minute too, in the beginning it sounds like it might be a real kids song.

Congrats, E. This was a very nice win. Almost a shame you have no archers. Even so, very sweet find and I hope whoever wins it enjoys the hell out of it. Based on what Paul wrote it looks like you'll get one PP enchant before the +50 cap comes into effect.

Swallow this, swallow that, he shot this substance at this creature/person.

This is like a redneck get together but everyone is smarter and nobody is related.

Yes, but for about 100m less than you paid for yours. =\
