>>/4204/ Well met mis Barbarian! Ashley has told me you're her sister though it's hard to find a resemblance. Beauty is beauty though so it hardly matters. Harold perked up and lavished the questions, he first regailed the joy and wonder of archery then began a short tutorial on techniques: The trees are your friends, if the enemy can't climb, then they're sitting ducks. Surprise attack is a huge benefit, you gain advantage if you can catch them off guard, sometimes you can pick one or two off before they even notice. Flanking, for you and them, it's an advantage so always seek to flank if you can. Range always wins, when they're throwing speers and you can kite them at range, you'll be hitting twice as often. So always buy as long a range weapon that you can afford. He pulls his bow forward. Composite heavy longbow. It's a masterpiece of engineering. It uses flight arrows but almost nothing can match its range, maybe a greatbow but if that only by a hair. Cover is key so always have several spots scouted out, rocks, trees, buildings, you can easily get 3/4 cover and together with range, they'll never get you. Don't be a target, try to remain hidden, often our opponents never find me. Hit the weak ones first, a foe with 1 hp left is just as deadly as one with high health, it's your job as an archer to weed them out. As the tank, you'll try to pick off a few at a distance then engage the biggest one when they get close. The advantages are endless. Even a tiny foe can flank you, so getting rid of those first from range is a godsend. Then there's the magic users, they need to go quickly lest you become barbecue or entangled, they're lightly defended but heavily guarded so always try to get a good shot and take them out as a priority. Be nimble, don't let them have cover, run to their flanks, and devastate them. He also said a few more tips for you to remember later. I'll remind you through memories in battle if I can think of any more. Now as an archer I have many skills that help me in the heat of battle, rapid firing, steady aim, hunter's mark, piercing shot, pinning shot and that's just to name a few. A good bow can easily turn the tides of battle. Josephia stopped him, he won't stop on his own. I hear you'll be off on your first quest soon. I envy you, my first quest was over 200 years ago now. You never forget your first. She glances at Yulya, I got a feeling you may be wondering why I run with humans, considering they're so short lived and generally boorish. Well I love them. They're so vigorous, so animated, everythings new to them, everything has a sense of urgency, it's their energy and before I have a chance to grow tired of them, they're already dead. I'm just barely becoming annoyed by Faren and I've known him 55 years. 56. Faren corrects her. Isn't he adorable? He scarcely remembers what day it is and he thinks he knows the passage of years better than me. It's darling. They're like pups to me, and it's a bittersweet love, I know they'll be gone in a blink and I'll miss them terribly. But I'll always love them, because when they piss me off I know I'll outlive the bastards! I didn't know you cared so much. Harold added. She turns to Yulya, tell me then, what do expect to gain from your human companion? Take what she gives you all of it and charish those memories. She'll be dead a lifetime before you and you'll wish you'd been more tolerant of her antics. Humans are very entertaining creatures, relax and watch the show I say.
