With the man-cum-eagle occupying the magic-using elf (interesting indeed, her, and someone she would have rather had a chance to interrogate) Albali didn't dare take a shot at her. Really, taking a shot at anyone was a risk. As much as she'd paid for this crossbow, she'd half-expected it would shoot people on its own, and leave her hands to the more subtle magical motions she was best at. But those two men standing there at the chokepoint - they practically had a target painted on their backs. They weren't moving, they weren't engaged with anyone, and even if they happened to glance back at her, they'd have to see through the darkened patch her bolt had created. Eyeing the snake as though not sure what it intended, she dashed forward to the next outcropping of trees, where she stopped behind the trees to fire at the man furthest from Xarithe, her clearest shot. Ain stayed close behind, as she'd instructed him before, and presumably the snake took up its very welcome guard just ahead of Albali.<br/><br/>[[Those are 5' squares, right? So I don't think Albali can make it quite to the S-curve in the path, which leaves enough squares for Sira to block it off.<img alt=":D" src="./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" title="Very Happy"/><br/><br/>Bolt #2: 1d20+6: 25 [1d20=19] (and I think that's a critical threat, right? So roll again? 1d20+6: 18 [1d20=12]) Damage: 1d8: 7 [1d8=7] (Critical Damage (1d8: 4 [1d8=4])<br/><br/>And I think Stealth is impossible now, especially since she doesn't really have any good cover besides the dim light, but in case I'm wrong and it's possible: 1d20+7: 18 [1d20=11] ]]
