Endgame at Kaunas Castle (Siege of Kaunas) by Giuseppe Rava

John Dickson Carr - Panic In Box C - Berkley - 1966

Cassio Lo Russo, a Tilean mercenary and sharpshooter, like any tilean sellsword worth his salt, he’s a fine hand with a crossbow, skilled using ones of various size, make and all the different quarrels needed, for example, here in the deep lustrian undergrowth standard broadhead bolts are all well and good, and a bodkin might even pierce a Saurus, but nothing flushes out the Lizards like a splintering flame bolt. The bright red of his underclothes combined with the polished bronzed armour he wears makes him easy to spot, advertising his skills and showing a deadly warning to his prey. This is one Tilean not to be crossed.
