Do you know how hard it is to stop a fleeing opponent? He always took corners so I could never charge. The goblin's AC with cover and total defense was 27, and coupled with the penalty from shooting arrows while on a double-moving horse, I managed to never hit the guy over four rounds of pursuit. The only licks I got in was when my horse rode up beside the worg and got an attack of opportunity as the thing fled.Then the worg ran into the woods, where its smaller size meant it could outmaneuver me and get distance. That's when the NPC popped off two natural 20s from 200 ft. away and killed the rider.I'm a 5th level ranger. My mount did more damage in that combat than I did, by far.</blockquote>
