Archers

Roadside robbers with a bow and arrows, that are Archers. They wait in trees for their victims to appear, and once they have a clear line of sight, a well-place arrow ends the victim's life, and fills the Archer's bags. But should a Archer be spotted, he is lost in melee, because he has no way to defend himself.

Archers usually wait for victims in the forests of Britannia.

Lore
''So lacking in courage are the minions of the vile Mondain that his Archers only ply their trade from hiding places high in the treetops of the forests of Sosaria. Their aim, nonetheless, is accurate and many a traveler has died without ever knowing whence came the deadly rain of barbed shafts.''
