Bolt of Sekolah's Fire  (SEKOLAH)   New in Heart of Winter

This long metal tube is fitted with a plunger at one end. The tube is filled with a viscous jelly-like substance that reeks of fish. When placed in a crossbow and fired, the plunger ejects the contents in a 40' long stream. Upon contact with air, the jelly ignites leaving a trail of flame as it flies toward a target. Any target struck is coated by the jelly and then begins to burn as well. These bolts are a favored weapon of high ranking Sahuagin.

Tranquil Bolt

These crossbow bolts are easy for magic scholars to recognize because of their purpose and their colorful decoration. The infamous Band of the Key was a group of occultist fighters who dedicated themselves to taking evil magical texts out of the hands of those who would use them to cause harm. The Band favored using crossbows over bows for their ability to remain cocked and ready for long periods of time. The leader of the Band, a thin, mustachioed man named Heglyf, enlisted some Deneirian priests to craft these special bolts in large quantities. They can be easily recognized by their distinctive yellow and green fletching.

Crossbows

Bren Muller's Crossbow  

Not much is known about the owner of this weapon, save that sages believe it is from another world, called "Eibrancha." Plane-traveling wizards who have investigated life on "Eibrancha" report that it is dull, commonplace, and ordinary in the extreme, a place where heroes are rare and the populace is, by and large, incredibly average. This might explain the virtually non-existent body of recorded information about the place. The only thing known about the weapon's owner is that he was an educated man. The purple wood that the crossbow is constructed from is believed to be from a unique type of tree in Eibrancha.

Daisy  (DAISY)   New in Heart of Winter

Named for its ability to make its victims "push up daisies," this crossbow was used by renowned mage-killer Vicalet Hawkeye. Vicalet was a half-elven mercenary who hired himself out to various adventuring companies as support. He would trail or flank his employers in dangerous environments and shoot any and all mages that he saw. A few mages even tried to use Projected Images to fool Vicalet, but the crafty half-elf always saw through the ruse. Vicalet retired a rich man, and opened a vineyard for himself and his family. He later sold his crossbow to a young, cocky human mercenary. It is believed that the new owner was not as skilled or as crafty as Vicalet, and came to an untimely end.
