Lady Peinforte's Gold-Tipped Arrows
A set of matching hunting arrows crafted by Lady Peinforte: slender shafts of polished golden wood fletched with black feathers, each tipped with a lethal point of solid gold. During the chaos at the Cyberman crash site, Lady Peinforte seizes the pair and fires them in rapid succession, each shot embedding perfectly in a Cyberman’s chest—a vulnerability she identifies immediately. The golden tips remain lodged in the fallen Cybermen, their unmarred metallic sheen confirming the Doctor’s analysis that gold destroys Cybermen. In a separate but related act, one of these arrows is fired at the TARDIS doorframe as the ship dematerializes, embedding deeply as a symbolic act of vengeance when Peinforte cannot strike the Doctor directly. A second variant of these arrows is coated with a lethal poison for targeted assassination, demonstrating Peinforte’s dual strategy of overt force and covert murder in her campaign against the Doctor.
