Not only is Stella able to trace where the arrow came from, but she sees the archer; a fair distance away, a dark-clad man with a longbow slung over his shoulder slides off the roof of a darkened building and onto the street, then takes off at a sprint!

Hooves pound on cobblestone as Stella and Tulco race down the dimly-lit street, with Aiwe, Dieter, and Runeson along for the ride! The black-clad figure looks back in fear as the horses quickly gain on him, and the heroes recognize him as the attacker who fled from Aiwe's fear spell.

Just as Dieter activates the magical wand, the assassin ducks into an alley too narrow for the horses. The magical missiles flash from Dieter's wand and zip around the corner, and the group clearly hears them impact their quarry, followed by the sound of wood splintering. As they turn the corner and gaze into the alley, they find the assassin's broken figure sprawled amid some old crates and barrels. The man is quite dead.
