Eternal
You instinctively duck down into the mud like Gruz did; regrettably the hidden assassin anticipated that and begins shooting downward.
You and Gruz both receive several bolts to the back. Gruz manages too shake off these annoyances partly because he’s wearing heavy armor and the other because as an orc his skin is pretty tough to begin with, especially with his experience.
While you’re certainly wearing protective gear as well and an Eternal to boot, the bolts sink into your flesh a lot easier and deeper. The pain is great, but you manage to get back up in an effort to find better cover. Gruz spots the shadow assassin and engages him unfortunately two more shadows jump down from the trees to finish you off. Under normal circumstances you’d easily be able to handle the pair of them even with bolts in your back, but in typical shadow fashion, the bolts were dipped in some sort of poison, not strong enough to kill you, but enough to make you sleepy.
And it’s this drowsiness that is your downfall. You swing at the two shadows a few times before they manage to land their own attacks on you. A quick slash to your neck releases an arterial spray and you’re dead before you even hit the ground.
