Following behind the rest of the group, Aethon readies his bow as they begin to move closer to the temple itself.  Watching Linda's exaggerated movements somewhat dubiously, he stays nearby to offer help if she becomes the target of an attack, as he reasons that she probably won't be able to defend herself as effectively in her bloated state, especially if her guards are engaged.  As the others move forward, Gwaihir hops up onto Aethon's back, ready to take flight if a fight starts outside the temple.  Looking around, he can't help but think that they might be walking into a trap; they certainly made enough of a commotion at the huts that anyone inside should know that<span style="font-style: italic">something</span>is coming.<br/><br/>He doesn't have long to wait before the whole area erupts in violence, though.  Watching as the rest of the group start singling out their own targets, he starts looking for a good target.  Watching Alizome become the direct target of what looks like some kind of spellcaster makes his decision relatively simple, as he knows that she works far better when her target isn't focused on her.  Letting fly, he moves around Linda, trying to find a decent point where he can get to it without getting too close to the others, especially the dracotaur.<br/><br/>As he fires, Xarces' sudden reappearance makes him question why he left the roof.  Holding Gwaihir back, Aethon doesn't want him flying about if there might be something on top of the temple, as he'd be a prime target.<br/><br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/136005">Bow shot</a>at BSA1:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+7</span><span style="font-weight: bold">24</span>]<br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/136010">Bow damage</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d8+5</span><span style="font-weight: bold">7</span>]
