Message: <blockquote data-quote="Greg K" data-source="post: 7909907" data-attributes="member: 5038">You assumed correct. "The Archer: Fugitive From the Empire" was a failed pilot in the U.S.,  It was later  released in Europe as a movie  under the title, "The Archer and the Sorceress"Speaking of that pilot, II still wonder how to write up Estra in D&D. She does not wear armor and casts magic. However, other than the guardian that she summoned upon first encountering Toran (see below) and a strong gust of wind (that may or may not have been part of the summoning spell), I don't recall her using magic in combat. Upon first encountering the false Lazar-Sa, later in the episode, she is on horseback and grabbed a spear or javelin which she hurled at him (she might have even been galloping towards him). Then, later in the final battle in the lair of the false Lazar-sa, she fights with a large dagger or short sword.As for her magic abilities, she demonstrates a few abilities, but did not regularly use magic in combat. As stated above, she summoned a guardian upon first encountering Toran, whose father had killed her mother sometime prior to the episode. The guardian is destroyed and never summoned again during the episode which took place over many days- perhaps weeks. During that encounter, she also summoned a very strong wind in the cave which may or may not have been part of the summoning spell. Other abilities she demonstrated include the following: Conversing with the spirit of her mother, the former oracle in her sleep (or was it meditation). If I recall, correctly, her mother also spoke to her during the encounter with Toran. Later in the episode, she appeared to have entered the dream of Toran. Finally, she had an amulet or necklace with a horse, snake, and bird. By tapping the appropriate animal on the jewelry, she could summon it. She summoned the horse for riding, a bird for spying, and panther (that she also used for spying and not for combat during the episode).</blockquote>
