The main difference between crossbows and arbalests are that the latter were typically made entirely out of steel, and they were indeed more powerful-essentially superheavy crossbows. However, Darian starts with a light crossbow +1 in-game.

So Darian's wings won't bother him if, say, he's on bottom, so to speak? 
Either way, there seem to be lots of tempermental female elves here who are single and available. Poor, poor Darian.

Xarana: I believe Darian is still incapacitated. Hmmm... it would take one hell of a shock to jolt Darian back into animation, though I don't know why I would want him back... ah, yes. Darian, Tempest just announced he was scrapping your project.
Darian: Praise the Winged Mother! Wait... why am I still here?
Xarana: I lied.
Darian: *Stabs Xarana*

I might very well end up splitting parts of this thread, actually.
And I have to say that I haven't gotten much work on bug-hunting done the last few days. Real life has become extremely stressful recently, and I've had a lot on my mind.

Just getting him ready for what is to come. Trust me, I am rather kind as Bhaalspawn go.

It has got to be one of the most entertaining one I have ever read.

Darian: Thank you. Now Tempest's efforts are doomed and I am safe once more.
Tempest: The only thing you've managed to change is the time frame.
Darian: Oh? With exams, signing up for next semester's classes, and Christmas shopping all imminent?
Tempest: Don't get cocky. Even if it takes me a year, I'll still finish you, mark my words.
Darian: Duly marked and ignored.

And yes, don't get cocky Darian. I'm sure someone will come up with something not so 'enjoyable' for you in the near future.

I strongly suggest that should Darian persist in being cocky you should add a couple of more talks/flirts that would make his feathers turn positively red 
In the meantime keep reminding him that on the day the mod is finally out for download many female Bhaalspawn will be playingwith him. At the same time
Until then, we have patience.

Darian: ...
Xarana: Cheer up. Tempest was an arrogant idiot and now he's paying for it. You'll pay for your own cockiness at some point.
