Acid Shooter

“I would recommend holding it away from any vital body parts.” Said Lathandi, master tinkerer of weapons and armors.

“All of my body parts are vital!” responded Skye, as she lowered the metal crossbow she was holding. The Scavo just smiled as they took the crossbow from Skye's arms. “Now, attach the canister of acid like so, and the weapon is armed.”

Placing a small glass vial full of green bubbling liquid on top of the crossbow, Lathandi pointed the weapon at a single target 120 feet away. Looking down the sights, they held their breath, focused, and pressed the trigger. A stream of acid burst from the crossbow, spraying the target and the wall behind it.

The kickback knocked Lathandi onto their back and they rolled onto their butt. Skye screamed and jumped behind a nearby desk. Both locked eyes with each other before looking at the target. All that remained was the left leg of the dummy. The wall behind it had a large hole in it with smaller ones around it.

Lathandi's voice filled the silence. “We'll need to adjust it a bit more before it's ready for battle.” Acid Shooters work alongside the Scavo to design new defense weaponry. They wield great metal crossbows with cannisters of acid attached to them. The crossbow can fire the entire bottle at targets or spray a burst of acid. Each shot that hits its target is capable of corroding the thickest armor. Contact with skin is dangerous and extremely painful.
