Orofacion of the Vanyar:
Yes, this new attack action is open for anyone involved in the RP to participate in as they wish.
Please feel welcome to become involved in the melee against the smugglers. Because your character Arcon is around to witness that an ambush has taken place, he can now react.
The reason why Menelduliniel and Estelarion were the only ones hurt is because they drove their horses on ahead of the group and into range of the smugglers' missile weapons. Since the smugglers were hidden, the smugglers had what's known in ancient RP terms as "initiative" and were able to strike first.
As threadmaster, I rolled dice to determine how many smugglers there are, which thrown objects hit and which missed, and then to determine the amount of damage taken by Menelduliniel and Estelarion.
Please feel free to carry on with the story and post as you see fit, Orofacion. Don't worry about what I'm doing with the dice ... just go ahead and post whatever comes natural.
