Xistera
the xistera · jai-alai scoop
The scoop turns a hopeless throw across half a trainyard into a headshot on a level-40 boss.
Story so far
Carl loads a Banger Spheres into the xistera, spins, and hurls it at the two ManTauR guarding the employee line entrance. He does not think he can possibly throw the thing that far, and the ball sails directly at them anyway — landing short of the first with a plink, and, with the follow-up shot already in the air, cracking into the second creature's head hard enough to raise a distant health bar. Without the scoop the ambush plan has no opening move.
Appearance
A curved wicker-and-metal scoop strapped to the forearm.
Role
Carl's ranged delivery system, used here to pick a fight at extreme distance.
Relationships
Banger Spheres — Its ammunition at the trainyard.
ManTauR — Struck one in the head at long range.
Carl — Straps it to his arm for every throw.
