Odel sits beside you with his back to the trunk, while he sets the metal crossbow that is strapped to his forearm. As soon as he is ready he turns, rises, and fires into the canopy of trees, sending a bronze-tipped bolt deep into the scaly belly of an Agtah sniper—your would-be assassin. The creature utters a piercing shriek and tumbles to the ground with a dull, sickening thud.

You compliment Odel on his bow-skill and follow him as he moves forward to search the Chaos-creature’s body.
