The Hobbit stood with bow bent and aimed his dart upon the Orc. The bow came to his cheeck and then he released to let it fly.

"Get into the gully," hisses Arbogast.  "Cut off their retreat." 

He moves in a wide arc towards the orc.  Without its watchful eye, he suspects that the goblins may flee into the night. 


I know we're only doing opening volleys here, but is it possible to make a Command action?  If so, my Battle roll is below.  If not, ignore it. 

1d12 : 9, total 9

Paul, I don't think it's a problem if you do the Command. I can't see it breaking anything if anyone does a non-combat Stance option, if they can't make a ranged attack.


Bandy hits the orc with a 25 great success for 9 END loss and a piercing hit
