As the hud kicked in marking things of interest for max he pointed it out to spen " you have been paying attention in our lessons only " he pointed to the wagon had a battle axed sized chunk took out of the wheel " someone threw a great-axe at this " spen observed the area " and they went that way " spen continued " towards the old copper mines " Spen said " there are about twenty of them they tried to disguise the attack as goblins "max said " look at there arrow work it's terrible but clearly human goblins prefer a hook design " max said " there must be copper still in there because they used copper heads " spen said collecting the copper headed arrows " or they wouldn't of left them " max said " or they are lazy " spen offered " its odd because the adventures said there was five of them and I check the loot and none of them had copper items " spen said as the began to track the group though the forest ten minutes later corvi crowed and a small window popped up in the corner of his eye .
Max could see though corvi sight neet max pointed out where the roving bandits paths would cross spen sent arrows whisling and two thuds followed .
the old mine was set in the side of a mountain there was a very large wooden wall with a gate surrounding the mine " oh look they did upgrades " max said pulling his large bow from his back it was a half foot taller on each side to him a man's longbow pulling the resistant string back after knocking a bodkin arrow breath in release
Followed by a heavy thud knocking another arrow max drew the sting max released another heavy thud " Spen you stay out here in case there is a watch lurking about " max said he nodded and said " ok I have my horn " he patted horn on his belt .
pushing open the gate max noticed there was two sleeping shapes around the fire pit max drew back the arrow in his bow and swish swish both the shapes were quieted " do we know if there a second exit?. Max whispered as he striped the four men of there belongings " there wasn't, but who knows now don't forget to cut off there heads so we can collect there bounties " Spen said adding logs to the fire " well let's find out " max said after removing there heads he loading the fire up with the striped headless bodies of the bandits " they are from the same group " Spen said pointing out there mark .
After tence minuets pass three men came running out " what are you cooking boys " one said before thud he hit the floor as a arrow sprouted from between his eyes the other two where about to shout when they both gained a very similar head adornment with differnt colors fletchings max had red Spen had green , max had acciden started a little fad a few years before of colouring your arrow flechings.
to collect the kill claim when one of the local lords was hunting down a troll two of the hunter where arguing loudly in the inn over how to tell there arrows apart and max had suggested one dye his quorrles his house colours and balm the fad spread like wild fire the fad had spread and in fact caused a little upset in the dyers markets so in lords they normally use different feathers rather then dyes and more common use common house dyes as the fathers arcane be sold for higher prices .
Next to come coughing his way out of the mine was a large half orc waring a heavy helm unfortunately that was the only part of the armor set the man had gotten on before thunk thunk two arrows where sticking out of his chest .
max cast a spell and the fire was extinguished the flames " let's wait a few minuets then we check out the mine " max said as a horn was blew " don't look at me "spen said as they sprinted up the pilings to the top of the wall there was a group of five shooting arrows off in to the woods
the two drew there bows and release knock breath release the bodies of the five hit the floor . Spen was far faster then max just years of practice and a slightly lower gage bow meant for every three shafts max could send spen sent five .
With the poison the two didn't really have the worry about where the arrows hit though both roughly landed kills on hits .
