Cynthia took the weapon she had and held it like a rifle, adjusting the sights as it had been some time since their last use. "This is a Crossbow, very commonly used by archers and squires across the land. First pioneered by dwarven settlers that found it impossible to utilize standard bows and arrows." She lead Quin back down the stairs and quickly strode over to a small bin. She set the crossbow aside and opening the bin and fishing out a bolt quiver and handing it to Quin. She claimed one of the bolts and grabbed the crossbow. "Please watch carefully." She said flatly before she aimed the crossbow straight at Iisska's head and placed the bolt on the receiver, sliding it towards herself and catching the crossbow string and hooking on a lock. With a wicked snap, she fired it and the bolt embedded fletch-deep in the wooden underground wall, having gone right between Iisska's montrals. Having been about a second too late, he dropped to the ground after it had already hit the wall. She handed the crossbow back to Quin and bowed slightly. "It shall serve you well, ma'am." She said robotically before going to retrieve the bolt in the wall and help Iisska to his feet. She waited patiently by the stairs back up for the group to finish. "So...Pike'ire. They never taught you the basics of swordfighting in the republic?" Nyrette said, grabbing a [url=http://www.heavenlyswords.com/image.php?type=T&id=27458]Rapier[/url] that was sitting against the wall. She had grabbed a sword belt as well and attached it to her hip. The sword fit snugly to her frame. "In the academy where I was taught how to fight, sword fighting was a requirement to move onto basic training. It's been that way for almost as long as the faction had existed." Quin shrugged and asked how sword fighting could be useful in this day and age. "Way they saw it, at one point we would be fighting a Jedi or a Sith. A knife will not do against them and neither will a blaster. Grenades will simply be redirected and the only way to fight them one on one is with a sword." She drew the rapier with her dominant hand and tested it by swiping it through the air. It was uncommonly sharp and deadly. "It's been a while since I last used my preferred sword, but it shouldn't be a problem...ya know what this means, right, Pike?" While loading up on a few extra bolts and throwing knives, Quin mumbled a "Yeah?" "When we get back to the ship, I'll get to train you on how to use a sword." Quin stood up and dropped the items she was holding, both her and Nyrette were smiling wildly and giggling at the prospect of one teaching the other to fight. Meanwhile, Iisska has taken up part of a wall next to Cynthia, leaning against it and dozing off a bit. Little did they notice however that Cheshik had disappeared for a few moments. There was a changing room on the far side of the armory and the doors to it burst open with Cheshik [url=https://youtu.be/0kgbPd9C-io?t=3]swaggering out[/url] like a badass with his sword leaning on his shoulder, in a heavy plated breastplate with his left arm fully armored, leaving his right arm naked and fully able to swing his sword with full mobility. He had two sheaths on his back, one he had found for his light and fast Zweihander, and a second holding a formidable oversized [url=http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/images/Product/large/XD628G.png]Battleaxe[/url]. "Am I only one that will use armor? We are going to dangerous tomb, yes? Is not threat? There is plenty armor to go around. Should get leather at least." Though she would have preferred going without armor, Cheshik was right. Had to try and stay safe here since they were low on Kolto. She grabbed some tight fitting leather armor and put it on over her clothing. It was snug, but light and didn't weigh her down too much. Once they were done, they followed Cynthia up the stairs and followed her out the door, leaving for the tomb at a brisk pace.
