Another Way In

Ryoshi placed all the herbs and plants that he collected and wrapped them around the shaft. I did not know what he was trying to do at first. But as that guy finished covering the arrows, he instructed me to follow him close behind.

I tagged along, uttering no questions. Within a few seconds, the two of us were kneeling behind a stone, right next to the wandering soldiers.

Before I could even share my concerns, Ryoshi prepared his bow and arrow and fired them at the lone soldier.

"At this 20 Degrees angle, I could launch my bolt with a speed of 323 metres per second. The distance of my target is around 140 feet. The weight of my shaft is 430 grains. Is there any wind in this area? Hmm… Maybe if I could add more force, the wind would not slow my arrow down."

"There goes Ryoshi mumbling to himself again," I mumbled, but kept observing his actions.
