Book content

...Any member of the Forest Watch should never forget that their one and only advantage is the element of surprise. Knowing the terrain is half the battle, as it provides opportunities to catch the enemy at a disadvantage and engage combat on your own terms. The first arrow is the most important one, especially if it hits the target.

If possible, avoid being detected by constantly changing position and shooting from the farthest possible distance - this tactic is bound to sow confusion and hesitation, granting you enough precious moments to adjust your aim and finish the job. Trust me, few things are more terrifying than a constant barrage of arrows coming seemingly out of nowhere in the middle of the woods...

Of course, it's just basic advice, and every situation comes with its own caveats. As you can imagine, brigands or poachers are much easier to lure into an ambush than orc scouts, and you'll definitely need a backup plan when dealing with dire beasts that occasionally emerge from the deep woods after years of slumber...
