Okay, that's perfect. Looking forward to our next dungeon delving. Hopefully we don't almost die again, but eh. Risk was always the point of this quest.
That's still fine, I guess. We can borrow that from Xochi and pay her back later. Freaking guards, though. -_-
@Azel, another question. Once the bow has been crafted, will we still be bothered about it for being spirit parts or will we be left alone?

Nah, go all in for light fighting style and get more DR through armor quality.

Already done.
Hopefully our next dungeon-delving expedition will be enough to pay for the upgrade from Regular Light Bronze Armor to Exceptional Light Bronze Armor.

Most people will not recognise it as spirit bone once it's no longer a huge spider leg, but it technically is still contraband and you shouldn't flaunt it openly.
However, how willing the guards are to try and take away a tribal warriors prized masterwork weapon is something left for you to decide.

The math doesn't work. The sold items total to 158 Tl.
Also, a masterwork bow, but no arrows? It automatically downgrades the effects of the attack.

Wonderful. -_- I assume it's the same for our awesome new armor? @Azel, can we hide the weapon and armor in cloaks and not get searched? Also, specifically tribal warriors are targeted? Would we still be targeted if we wore different clothes or no? I thought you put that to rest a while ago when I raise concerns over standing out too much?
Thanks, fixed on the math. And yeah, no arrows for now. It sucks, but I value getting the masterwork bow in the first place and our armor to go with it. We need to sell the fangs to get enough funds for both, and we only have one fang to sell. It downgrades the effect of the attack, sure, but we're still using a Masterwork Spiritbone Bow, a marked improvement over our Regular Scented Bow.

See here for a fine article on the clothing everyone in the cities wears. If you go for a few wider and longer clothes, you can hide the armor beneath just fine, though the guards don't really care about that one.
In regards to the tribal targeting, that was just an implication that the guards would leave you alone explicitly because of the bow.
Tlamaca is a bit more orderly then other places, but Rule 1 in modern Cualli is still "Might makes right." and the guards are not suicidal. A tribal warrior (read: someone obviously skilled in combat) walking down the street in bronze armor with a spirit-bone bow? Unless they see you stabbing someone in the open street, they will not bother you. People are kinda hesitant to go into fights they will most likely loose.

Oh. Perfect. That's far more reassuring.
I'd still go for a cloak anyway since it's just plain useful to be able to hide our armor when we need to, but it can be bought later.

You can buy exceptional arrows - obsidian ones from your own funds, bronze ones if you borrow another 2 Tl from Xochi, not like it matters at this point if we owe her 5 or 7.
The new bow isn't much of an improvement if you use regular ammunition if I understood Azel correctly.

Point. Adding that in. I'm assuming the pricing you got here is correct? I'm not sure since I didn't see it on the update.

Added in the Obsidian and Bronze arrows.

It's mainly something to have as a backup. We're up against men? Obsidian arrows are better than standard flint arrows. We're up against spirits? Well good luck, only the bronze arrows have any hope of getting through. More than that, the earlier we get everything crafted the better. We're on the clock with how long we can safely stay in the city. If we lose the window of opportunity to get everything we need we're kind of screwed.

I don't see why we wouldn't. Recovering salvageable arrows is standard practice for an archer. You don't waste perfectly good ammunition. And even if the shafts are broken the metal heads can be recovered for repurposing.

I'm almost positive that it was part of Yaxkin's training back with the tribe. There everyone was completely self-sufficient. You don't learn to be an archer if you can't even make your own arrows.

Simply because there are rule sets (DnD eg) that say 'ammunition is destroyed when shot'. That's why I were asking, because incorrect assumptions are a good way to enhance salt production.

Wait, what? What a waste of perfectly good ammo!
One of these days we're going to get ourselves an Artifact. A bow that doesn't need arrows at all.

That also exists in DnD ...
Or a quiver that always contains one arrow.

You can recover arrows and in case of metal arrows the tips, but those might degrade in quality.
Fletching is indeed something you learned as part of your archery training and every recovered tip is magically turned into a new arrow during a day of downtime.
Though if you guys want to regularly use different arrows, you would need a second quiver, which is another point of encumbrance.
