Jonas has a choice to make on his next turn. Because he has not reached the checkpoint yet, he can either make an attack or stop at the checkpoint. If he chooses to make an attack, and hits the target, he can continue riding. If he chooses to make an attack, and then misses, he will overshoot the checkpoint. He must stop his horse on the next turn and ride back to the checkpoint. He will be able to make an attack on the turn after that. If he chooses to stop his horse, he may make an attack on the next turn. Don’t forget Jhonas has a -4 attack penalty when his horse is moving.</blockquote>
