@ Liriia - It's kay, stuff like that happens from time to time.

@ Train Group - Should we wait for Jolly to post before moving on? I feel like that's an important thing to do

Yup we just need to get group 2 launched. I'm up for leading that group as Marian isn't someone in training. She could take them out tracking some "critters" and go from there.


As we discussed in PMs, come up with a contract/mission and send it to me. If I approve then you can. For now I made up some contract info for the Pendant hunt at the Guild.

And to Val's comment, I enjoy free roam environments and this is a step towards that. I only want myself and pther GMs to have to come up with contracts as layouts for you to follow and occasionally throw in an unexpected twist. We should only have to be regularly involved when running a plot, like this Witch Hunt will open up a witch story arc for the Guild.

Ugh, the problem with bows is that I barely know anything about bows. How they're handled, carried, and fired. I've read about them somewhat, but it's still very lacking.

European style draw, you point the bow downward to notch the arrow, draw upward, then level your aim. Asian style draw, you hold the bow above your head to notch the arrow, and draw back as you level your aim. Most comfortable way to carry is with the string at your chest, unless you're using a compound bow. The wheels would get in the way, and you would be better off carrying it by hand. Firing is simply a release. The action has almost a Zen property to it.

Also, I'm not sure if it's true for all Asian bows, but Japanese bows have a longer curve above the grip than below it.

I have read that carrying the bow that way is very uncomfortable and may damage the string. Also, something I am trying to find out: how long is the bow kept strung? It seems to be common consensus that it warps the bow eventually, so for storage the bow is certainly kept unstrung. But what about during travelling, or sleeping? It only takes a couple of minutes to string a bow so it would make sense to remove the string whenever you do not expect to use it.

Mongolian's used rather normal recurve short bows, so I believe it was only the Japanese. Chinese bows were also pretty normal, as far as I remember.

Also- I have just read that in 1850s percussian caps for guns have just been invented. So it's not just flintlocks anymore, although it probably would still be common. And bows would already have been in decline for a long time. I would imagine the poor to still use them extensively for hunting? Maintaining a gun would probably be too expensive.

Slightly terrifying...

@Val, yes bows are primarily a hunting tool at this point. Any intention for defense and attack are used as rifles and pistols. Flintlock is coming out of mainstream and being replaced by revolvers and lever-action rifles.

Mmmm, pretty much what I figured when I was making him. My post only reflects Devin's thoughts- as an extremely gifted archer and taught since birth that a bow is superior, he has a lot of pride in it and thinks that guns are just a fad.

I was a busy girl, will get to posting after others do a bit more. Trying not to over-post. I have a job interview to teach 8th grade art tomorrow. I'm sitting here freaked out.
