ARCHERY, MISSILE, MISSILE WEAPONS

(Thief Skill)

The missile skill might help shooting faster and more accurately; to learn it go to the nearest thieves guild. Archery is a great and noble art, and also a lethal one. One skilled in the use of bows, slings and crossbows can cause heavy injuries to a foe in very little time.

To master this skill, good eyesight and great agility are required.

In order to use missile weapons, you need to wield the weapon, wear the appropriate quiver, and fill it with the appropriate missiles. After this, find a target and shoot the target. Once the target's dead, you can recover used missiles.

From time to time, nonmagical missiles will break. This is likely to happen if you shoot a hard-to-hit target, or when your shot kills the opponent.

Currently implemented missile weapons are:

Weapon	Missile	Quiver	Note
Bow	Arrows	Quiver
Crossbow	Bolts	Bolt-case	Crossbows can be winched and loaded before use.
Sling	Pebbles	Pouch	Pebbles may be searched for on the ground, if you are using a sling: use `reveal stone`.
