The Golden Company, the Free Cities’ most reliable mercenary company, offers several types of troops for hire, depending on the needs for the force they are being procured for.  One of the most popular choices is their crossbowmen.  These sharp-eyed fighters never waste a shot, resolutely waiting until enemies have closed to within perfect range before unleashing their bolts.  Their well built, strong crossbows fire bolts that punch through armour, especially at closer ranges.  And like all Golden Company warriors, they will stay in battle until the job is done.  Almost never prematurely quitting the field.
