Banditry, highway robbery, call it what you call it but it puts food on the table and coin in the pocket. But some don't like the risk of getting run through but still want the rewards. The crossbow serves these bandits well, it keeps them at a distance and lets them kill a man before they even know he is there. After all the dead don't object to you 'borrowing' some coin. Usually. Instinct: To rob

• Steal something
• Call for aid from fellow bandits
• Demand tribute
