I'm going to sunburn my pasty ass at the beach, leaving tonight :)  if someone needs a quick response, Tha'ael is the GM's property until I get back by Sunday night.  If the thug after her tries to get her, I'll forgo any theatrics or strategy (such as leaping into trees, running from him and leading him back into the main fray, etc) and she can just keep shooting arrows until one of them falls down.
