As a Gorean Gemsmith I create not only jewelry but fine weapons and locks. Pictures do exist for some work butcustom work I do often does not exist in picture form, all crafted pieces are described in words Selling prices for custom work are usually higher than simpler, less expensive pieces that can be produced in quantity. Though I do quantity work, the great majority of patronage is custom work. I do repeat use of a design, especially when a customer requests it. Prices listed here are based on cost of materials.

Striking with enough force to penetrate wooden walls, doors or human bodies with relative ease. It has an effective range of approximately 150 yards. Slow to reload, it is commonly redrawn through use of a goat's-foot hook or a crank.

Cavalry Crossbow
