[He’s left unnoticed, though the problem with that strategy? Everyone else is a target.
This was never a “problem” strategy before, of course. Astarion is usually quite fine with looking after himself, but his time adventuring with this group has taught him that sometimes he does need to take the state of others into consideration, which means he keeps a keen eye on the enemy and the rest of their party. Mostly Winter, now, who has earned the ire of the creature — and is too far away to earn the aid of the rest of their group in any timely manner.
The Spectator really is very angry now, having wrenched free arrows from its eyeball and yet still having to deal with another blast directly into it. It gnashes its giant maw, almost blindly barging forward to rush straight into the warlock. The force would be more than enough to knock him down, given its size.]
Winter!
[Godsdammit, he better be fast enough to get out of the way! He’s just given his hiding place away by calling his name. Astarion lets loose another arrow, hoping that'll be distraction enough to buy time. What else can he do, short of closing the gap to do-- To do what--? Fling him out of the way himself?
