A small shed with an earthen floor, holds two tables upon which rests neatly arrayed wooden boxes, each of which holds a score of newly made arrows. A third table holds several more large boxes, wherein spent and damaged arrows are placed, so any part still serviceable may be harvested. A few worn practice bows hang upon the walls and a small number tools, as well as replacement strings and polishing equipment rests in boxes under the shelves. Another set of neatly arranged boxes contains newly made parts, for the Fletcher to transform into viable arrows. A small wooden chair completes the furnishings.

court jester
knight
I am a knight. I come from a lower-ranking noble family. I serve under the king, as my father did before me. In times of war, I fight on horseback.
How goes it, Jester? In need of arrows for some prank? I guess i came to the right place. Not a prank, more a "display", shall we say. Hmm? Interesting. Is this just for the king, or will it be public? It's is for the King, the public will come to realize what has occurred however. I require 99 arrows. I'm not overly worried by the quality, that's not important. Your words are making me nervous, Jester. These arrows aren't intended to harm the king, are they? I have 99 absences of arrows. This is my most pressing problem to solve. The problem of the kings welfare I assure you, as they say, "ain't one"  As you say. Are these arrows for the king's army? Okay I will tell you. The kings daughter is quite fond of my tricks. She has secretly accepted to be part of a display where she is roped to a spinning wheel whilst I fire arrows at her, narrowly missing her legs, arms and royal face. The king has no idea, that's the gag! Ah, that will be quite the spectacle. You do know the consequences if you happen to miss, right? If I happen to miss missing Miss? well, Miss will die I suppose or be largely maimed or disfigured. Will the king hate me more than he does? Is that possible? Well, maybe not, but I highly doubt you'd survive.  And that's where the public come in! Everyone loves a good show. Now.. arrows?
