Your first shot did 5 Endurance damage. Your second rolled a Great success (one Elrond) so it also adds your Damage rating (on the right side of your sheet, below Wisdom).  So the second shot does 5 from the bow and 5 from you.  15 Endurance total.  (That's a bit under a quarter of the troll's total!)But the first shot also had a chance to Wound him. The troll rolls his armour rating of 3d (to compare, your armour rating is 3d+1), with a target number of 14 (your bow's Injury rating).  It gets a 9, so it's Wounded.The first Wound has no real effect.  The way it works is this: if you reach 0 Endurance, you fall unconscious.  If you are Wounded twice, you fall unconscious. If your Endurance reaches 0 while you are Wounded, you are knocked unconscious and dying, and need to get help immediately!This troll was already Wounded from an earlier battle, so your first arrow brought him to two wounds and knocked him unconscious immediately!We're now waiting for Vardolas to take his ranged attack (with the extra bonus die that Authiel donated) - [MENTION=51930]fireinthedust[/MENTION], are you there?  [MENTION=6078]garyh[/MENTION] still hasn't checked in either.[/sblock]</blockquote>
