Otherwise even ancient dragons are at risk.  Anything below an ancient dragon and ancient white dragons are screwed, though.  After 4 or more rounds, though, enough would have grouped back up to be a threat.Militia being proficient with short bows is going very common.  Bows were used in hunting and defense, and it wasn't just hunters that used them.</blockquote>
