Crossbow
Crossbows on Zalanthas are a straightforward affair, amounting to a wind-up version of a bow. They are more compact than bows, require less strength to utilize, and use bolts rather than arrows, due to the need for a stronger shaft because of the stresses placed upon the projectile by the string. To wind a crossbow, the 'load' command is used. Shooting a crossbow is exactly the same, syntactically, as shooting a bow and arrow. However, the crossbow must be in the inventory to be loaded or unloaded, and must be equipped in the 'primary' hand to be shot, unlike regular bows.
Syntax:
load crossbow bolt
ep crossbow
shoot <target> <direction>
Examples:
> load crossbow bolt
> ep crossbow
> shoot halfling up
> unload crossbow
