Longbow +3: ‘Long Road’ [O!BOM076] This bow, slightly worn-looking yet brimming with energy, earned its name in the possession of a young warrior named Ezkiel Quareen. Legend says that the skilled archer travelled great distances looking for a bow that was able to damage powerful foes that could resist even magical arrows. His efforts were largely in vain however. On his way he found many short bows that fit his purposes, but he had trained with longbows all his life and was not going to begin to use weapons he considered only fit for thieves. He was beginning to lose heart until one day he came upon a slightly unstable elven character. After much debate over whether the existence of Halflings had achieved anything, he finally mentioned that he could help him in his quest. Curious as to how the elf could know of his quest, he resisted putting an arrow in his chest. Telling Ezkiel he would be back in 3 days, he set off. Ezkiel, tired and fed up, decided that there was no harm in waiting to see if there was anything to come of this encounter. Three days later this longbow fell on his head from the sky. He never saw the elf again.

Amnish legionaries, presumably bored with normal interrogation method came up with an extraordinary game based on their favourite gambling pastime; roulette. Asking the war wizards for arrows that would have random effects on the targets was simple enough: coin, the only language many of the recruits spoke, was all that was needed. The idea, the inventor proclaimed, would be for the hapless victims to shoot themselves with the new creations and to experience the humiliating or perhaps deadly consequences. Despite the great expense the legionnaires went too to play their morbid pastime, they soon lost interest as most often the result was a painful death from bleeding. The arrows were soon sold on throughout Amn to any who would have them at great profit to the legionnaires; but only after inserting a few into some cheating war wizards.
