Given the fact that at least two of the Gith attacking the party are spellcasters, I'm feeling a bit foolish right now.  Still, Therin's motive (to make sure whoever cast the lighting bolt and used the Dimension Door isn't capable of raining more death from a distance on the party) was a valid one... although the NPC pulling a Duke's of Hazard explosive arrow trick was a huge shock...<br/><br/>Attacking three armored Gith by herself is also probably pretty darn dumb... but she's there now... and she could get done what she set out to do, or go back and waste another round traveling back the way she came instead of attacking... *sighs*  Sometimes there is no right way.<br/><br/>Oh, little tip about using silence spells on your opponents... target your friends with them... or a rock... or the arrow you're about to sink into them.  Don't give the bad guys a saving throw.  Silence something that won't or can't save, then move it into position where the silence spell effects your target.  That way the bad guy has to run away to cast... and if it's your buddy, or an arrow stuck into them that's silenced, the field will follow right after them.  (as your buddy will be chasing them anyway...)
