A case of crossbow bolts at the hip.
| Worn | At the right hip |
| Weight | 2 kg, whatever its tier |

A man looses only what his case holds, and only from one that fits his crossbow. Out of a fight it fills again from the bolts in the train, which the weaponsmith sells at 8 copper each. An army on the payroll at a town of its own keeps one refill for every case. Half of what is loosed lies on the field to be gathered, and a third of that is lost each day. On the map an archer’s cases empty in five minutes of fighting, and an archer with none left strikes at about a third of his strength.
