The ship has lots of crossbows and plenty of bolts in the arsenal. Bows are only present if the crew brought them.
(Valdis will use his Animal Affinity power to bump his Charisma score) 3
Valdis will take stock of the crew to see:
- Who brought bows with them when they came aboard
- Who have skill using crossbows
Once the people with bows and skill with crossbows have been identified, Valdis will rig up 3 floating targets with some spare wood and canvas. He will then ask Rin and the Gree to take them into the water at the crossbows longest range. He will then have the crew use the crossbows and their own equipment to see who the best shots are. He will ask the Gree and Rin to retrieve as many bolts/arrows as possible.
Valdis will have the targets moved closer in increments to gage the skill of bowmen and crossbowmen at different ranges.
Once their skills have been assessed he will divide them into squads and and run them through firing drills.
For those who have no aptitude for archery, he will organize them into squads and drill them on repelling boarders and cutting grapleing lines
