The wisps and clickings of crossbow fire hissed through the air. The Dres in loose formation and out of sight would provide poor targets but precautions were taken. Keeping with the Velothian Tradition the Dres maintained an avid study of conjuration and dealings with Daedra. Momentary cuirasses and tower shields were provided by the otherworld via the Arcane ability of each rider. Arvas felt the clinks and bangs of the bolts striking the Daedric shield. His horse neyed loudly as it was struck in the side, a glancing blow at an angle and slowed down by the composite lammelar armor made for protecting against missiles. Though the Dres had to cease their barrage the crossbow bolts were in large part ineffective landing harmlessly on the ground, striking the bound armor. An unlucky few recieved their end while others had been wounded. Arvas considered the trade off as acceptable and continued.

armed with their trump card: the arbalest. The arbalest has a maximum force of 5,000 pounds force, enough to rip through ebony, adamant or even Daedric armour.

I'm going to have to agree with Story on this one. A crossbow holds a lot of punch behind it, far more than the average armor. While it would quite likely pierce even Daedric armor, I must stress that in my opinion the piercing would be minimal. The most you'd get is a punch about half way through the metal, so the shield would be rather deadly to the wielder with all those poking out spikes pointing towards the user.

Mind, I don't think the penetration would be massive, if it happened at all. Daedric is an UNNATURALLY strong armor. Just plain ebony, you'd likely get a few bolts piercing fatally, a few pathetically, and some none if hitting at the wrong angle.

Regardless, Story brings up a good point, that just wasn't very realistic Immortal.

It would likely cripple the horse, too.

Hey Guys and Gal,

I'm out for Christmas and will be back Boxing Day sometime. Things don't move super fast so I'm betting this was an unnecessary post buy hey, Merry Christmas to all.

I sent you the info, but for thematic reasons I suggest you don't mention it.

FC4 is going to have some fun again :shifty:

Enjoy your Christmas Ben, I'll be around like always everyone, so don't go crying your hearts out just yet.

I'm really sorry guys, I know I've been holding things up. Stuff's been real busy, but i'll try and get a post in soon.

Change of plans. But what I do need people to do (if you want) since SoS is slow in pace is join here:

It's in the timeline with a more adventure play style as being the main focus. It just needs people or it won't work. I could use some Morag Tong and dedicated good writers which you are.
