Previously, Its first action is to rake its scimitar across the stone, causing an echo throughout the chamber, then resheathing it and pulling its longbow. It is a strong opponent, managing to cost you over half her hit points with one arrow.
DM: Okay. Back a few steps. Make an attack with disadvantage, if you're going to be doing something else.
Player: Yeah.
DM: Are you doing another Inflict Wounds?
Player: Yeah.
DM: All right.

DM: Okay.
