Well, clearly Bobbi had either gotten her dosage way too low, or her tranquilisers simply didn't work against boars when the animal in question was a spectral apparition of an Etruscan idol dated 500-600 BCE. Probably didn't help that it was the size of a family sedan either.
Bobbi tried very hard to ignore the quaking in her legs as the monstrous thing ran at her. This was just like that time she'd got a glancing blow with that Medi-Dart vaccine on that bull, right? It had raged and charged at her headlong just like this, but the pain of the needle and the drugs in its system had made its movements sloppy and predictable.
She just needed to follow up and then dive to one side, just like that. Only difference being she wasn't getting back up if she fucked this up.
Deep inhale. Tighten the stock a little more against your shoulder. Now-
In a lightning-fast blur her free hand had plucked another dart from the pouch at her waist, and a moment later it had embedded itself in the ghostly boar's head in such a way that it almost seemed to slow mid-charge -- its feet kicking up dust as they ground against the hard earth and granting Bobbi barely enough time to roll to the side.
Holy shit, it worked!
Its a lil weird, but Crossbows can either be tied to Firearm Mastery or Archery Mastery, since they are affected by both (+2 to Firearm rolls, and +2 to rolls with Crossbows) - and I'd rather have it tied to Firearm Mastery when it comes to this character
I don't plan on abusing this for any stupid stuff like taking both Gifts to get +4 to rolls (pretty sure that wouldn't work anyway), I'm picking flavour over actual mechanical strength. I think it'd make more sense for my character to know how to use crossbows and guns rather than crossbows and bows (and since Archery Mastery gets the Quick Fingers enhancement for free, I'm actually missing out on a Gift point to do this)

Vita doesn’t shoot alone anymore. Her finger pulls the trigger, but something older, wilder, and far more ancient whispers corrections over her shoulder. A pact sealed with bite marks and inked blood lets her channel the predatory instincts of the creatures she’s bonded with. Every shot isn’t just calculated—it’s ordained.
When Vita raises a firearm, faint glowing patterns—like claw marks, runes, or faint iridescent scales—flash briefly along the barrel. Her eyes flicker with a beastly gleam, echoing the color or mood of her bonded companions. The air grows unnaturally still for a heartbeat, then she fires. The projectile feels guided, veering slightly mid-air as if nudged by unseen paws, wings, or spectral horns. If she deflects an incoming strike, there's a sharp burst of animalistic noise—a hiss, a growl, a shriek—that echoes from nowhere.
Vita has never seen her Gifts as magic—they’re relationships. Contracts, favors, whispers traded in dark corners and glowing meadows. This Gift is the result of deeper synchronicity with her bonded creatures: her aim guided by predatory instinct, her reflexes enhanced by something barely contained in her skin. Whether it’s Bapha nudging her shot with unseen force, or a fae wolf’s voice growling “duck” just in time, she’s a vessel for more than human talent now.
Where bullets fail others, hers adapt. Her firearms don’t just shoot—they hunt.

The 255TE "Lancer" Rife fires an extremely deadly spike of plasma at its targets.
