I found this one with a little bit of looking but I will give someone else a chance. Even after finding it I still had no idea what it was. laugh out loud



I also had to look up arbalest to make sure but I had just recently seen arbalist used in a book and looked up the definition because I wasn't sure what it was at the time.
