Sam's and Arkiv's provocations are simple. Both of them came out of the forest, out in the open, and stood in the safe spaces of the large patch full of traps, and started throwing attacks at the temple.
Arkiv used some of the special arrows of Sam.
The corrosive poison vial arrow, the bio-fuel vial arrow, grenade arrows that don't need the fire elemental energy to activate, and so on.
Sam also took out his bow and tried to see what he could do with this.
He was really impressed by Arkiv's longshot. It would be really useful, if there is a proper power behind the arrow, it would be easy to take out the target miles away.
Initially, Sam couldn't do that. Even though he could make it reach long just by pulling the bowstring, he couldn't reach the target at that distance.
Even though he could calculate the trajectory and everything that is required for the arrow to go there, something is missing which is making the target miss.
