Why the Long Face?
Ambushed! As we travel through a cliff pass of sorts, some loud bangs startle our horses. A couple of us manage to control our mounts, a couple don't, causing their mounts to sprint down the path away from the noise. As they do, a pair of half-orcs appear above us and start shooting.
We have no choice but to enter combat with the half-orcs, even though they have the advantage of height and range. One of the enemies shoots an arrow at our cleric.
'Are you in melee?'
'Nope.'
'So the half-orc isn't getting penalised for firing in to combat?'
'Nope.'
'So don't just stand there, punch your horse!'
