Astonished by the appearance of a new, self-appointed headman, Eddicus stands still too long and gets caught with a magical attack. He guesses the reason for it: this new fellow is trying to take over, now that the members of the party have been worn down by the Redbrands.
Guessing that the new arrival used the famous 'Magic Missile' spell, of which Eddicus thinks he has heard before, Eddicus surmises that he is now effectively dead -- because 'Magic Missile' has a long range, far longer than Eddicus can run before the mage gets another shot. There is no running away this time: if the mage hasn't used up all of his spells by now, the mage has already won.
"Is this 'Iarno' the same 'Gassy-Staff' of whom you speak?" he asks rhetorically.
Eddicus attacks the mage who damaged him with a shot from his shortbow.
