"Well, his primary advantages are stealth and range. If we take those away, we stand a good chance of defeating him. So, shall we burn the whole forest?"

Arl - "I consider that as well but an out-of control fire could kill innocent people. Also, setting fire to the countryside to catch a bounty would probably make us a bounty. Maybe we should keep moving until we find a good ambush location? Or maybe try to herd him with traps?"

Arl sets to work making branch "tents" (basically double lean-to shelters with extra vines designed to block someone in the distance form looking in.), digging a ditch beneath the tents with her shield, and then lining the ditch under the tent with branches to cover it up. She then puts piles of vegetation in the shape of Colt and herself ontop of the lining before covering them with... vine blankets? She finally makes a responsible but rather smokey fire before slipping under the lining into the ditch below. The bodies can't be seen without walking right up to the lean-to.

**The two became aware of the sound of the occasional arrow being fired into their fake camp. The aim seemed off for such a good shot as Lautremont, however; it was likely he didn't know precisely where they were.**
Lautremont - "The old 'the hunter becomes the hunted' routine? Top marks for nostalgia but not exactly original work, friends!"
Arl - "Do we stay hidden in hopes of him walking up in frustration or should you pretend he killed me and leave the 'body' behind? If he gets within range I could attack while you come back."
Colt leaps up and grabs one of the fake bodies, pulling it into the pit.
RAINBOW GIRL!!! HOW DARE YOU DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAINING!!!"
Colt was trying to be convincing but isn't a very good actor. Or maybe Acting is different where he's from. But anyway, after a few seconds of fake mourning, Colt leaves the pit and begins to run in the direction the arrows came from, Sword brandished high and very visible.

**One bounced directly off his sword, the other getting itself lodged in Colt's haubrek as Lautremont prepared to fire again. He was visible to Colt now, a few hundred yards further into the woods. The screams still had not stopped.**
With a goal in view, Colt ran forward as quickly as he could manage, not even stopping to dislodge the arrow from his hauberk. He used all his ignorance to ignore the pain. He kept his sword held up half an arms length in front of his face, so he had cover but could still see the ground ahead of him.

**He got close enough to see Lautremont grin and yank down on something before the screaming became considerable louder and closer. Then a shrieking, thrashing, oozing weight crash down on Colt. It was Stately.
He too had been dangled from the branches by his entrails, but unlike the older body Stately was still horrifically alive. He wailed, giggled and vomited blood through his rictus grin as he clawed mindlessly at Colt, his exposed internals seeping fluids all over the warrior.**
Colt fell to his knees under the sudden weight, taking a horrible and extremely startling few seconds to untangle himself from the living trap. He wipes the blood from his eyes to make sure lautremont is still there.

Frustrated, Colt takes a moment to put the servant out of his misery, putting him on the ground and using Heartseeker like an Axe directly at his neck.

**The sword sunk deeply into Stately's skull with a disgusting crunch-squish, distorting the mutilated servant's face. He began twitching spasmodically but seemed to be taking a bizarrely long time to die.**

Arl - "That could work! We make some tents, dig into the ground under the tents using a shield, and put some fake copies of us resting on top."
