Twang! "Hello.": Difference between revisions

A group of characters are hiding from a [[Serial Killer]]. They try to figure out their next move. They're scared but [[Red Shirt|one poor soul]] says [[Tempting Fate|things can't get any worse]]. Uh-oh. A knife zooms by and hits that character in the chest. Enter the psychopathic [[Knife Nut]].

 

 

You get the point (pun not intended). Who needs a battle cry when a clean, well-timed (in regards to dialogue) launch of an arrow, throwing knife, or any other throwing implement into a nearby wall, tree, or person is a far more loud, efficient and stylish way of announcing your presence to your enemies? Sure, a sneak attack would be far more practical, but that's not nearly as cool. Let's also forget the fact that the character just wasted ammo, and that in the middle ages, arrows, especially the quality ones demanded by experienced archers, were somewhat expensive as well (unless of course the arrow buried itself into one of the enemy characters in which case it was quite the efficient move).
