Re: OOC Thread 6
From the player's POV, I get that there are people with bows in the trees, but I also get that they could have just as easily aimed for Alphail and Deise's heads, not the ground at their feet.
So unless they're terrible shots? I'd say Alphail may be right about parley.
As the horse was stabbed, most probably with a thrust from a two handed sword, not shot with an arrow, the archers may not be the ones responsible for wounding the horse. It's a difficult to wield a long blade weapon in a close grown forest, so if the person who attacked the horse is close by, they're more likely to come out into the open to fight armed with a melee weapon like that.
From Caith's POV, she's got her hands full with Mari just at the moment, but if this turns nasty, she does have a trick up her sleeve to deal with arrows, so I'm mentioning it now in case of a retreat and rally back to the road situation.
