Carrying it

Every shot feeds the forest's awakening timer, so a ranged kill is never free — see noise discipline. This is a matchlock: the fuse cannot ignite wet powder, so it is dead weight in rain unless Saint Eulalia clears the sky. Ammunition economics are on the items page.

You cannot buy this one. Weapons turn up in the field as well as the shop — weapon crates hold a randomised piece — so this is free kit rather than a purchase decision.
