Cairn archer

Crouches in the mouth of an opened mound and looses at anything on the skyline.

Combat 57, found in Cairnfell. Pays 144 combat xp, which never decays and never scales with your combat level.

Fights as ranged, so it attacks your armour's style and defends against your weapon's. A melee weapon lands against it as though its armour were 12% thinner; a magic weapon as though it were that much thicker. Wearing melee armour does the same to its swings at you.

One roll per kill from the table below. Coins and its trophy roll separately, so a kill can yield all three.

Rolled on its own, alongside anything above:

Nothing in the game wants it — no recipe, no enchant, nothing to wear. It is worth 147 coins at any vendor, and that is the whole of what it is for.
