“Uncanny Dodge” There’s a lot of maneuvering going on. Either to avoid injury or to avoid doing what you are told. I guess getting an arrow to the skull can damper one’s mood. Although there is a more effective target to rile Krak up.
Warning: Things will get more extreme/intense than usual from episode 42.08 through to episode 45.11.
Be careful out there.

Panel 1
In the darkness of the underground tunnel, two projectiles hit their mark: a crossbow bolt with a "Zip" to the right side of Krak's cranium and an arrow with a "Fip" to the jaw about half a foot lower. The troll's teeth grit and his eyes narrow with frustration as Krak holds Rek's hand-axe between the thumb and finger of his right hand.
Disembodied voice: "<Be careful with them. Do you hear me?>"
Panel 2
Further down the tunnel where the shots originated, Fip quickly pulls a replacement arrow while Zip uses both hands to grasp the crossbow string to pull it into place. Between them is Pat, who's task - along with a stack of backpacks and a bedroll - is to provide meager cover for the two sharpshooters. Ahead of them, back to the viewer is Nak, who is facing them and giving instruction. Pat quickly interrupts, calling out an alarm...
Nak: "<Keep shooting. I am going up to hel-->"
Pat: "<Look out!>"
Panel 3
...and giving Nak enough time to glance forward and lean back to avoid Rek's axe, which has been thrown in their direction by Krak (offscreen). While it was nowhere close to hitting Pat, the gobo cook still tucks a bit behind the large double-handled pan that is currently being used as a shield. Zip's head tilts back as the gobo finishes locking the crossbow string into the ready position, the axe making a small cut on the right side of Zip's hood. Fip - who is a bit slower on the take - straightens up and looks down the tunnel, trying to detect what to look out for...
Panel 4
...but then turns away, slapping a hand over the left ear in pain. The bow and arrow are dropped and the fletched ends of those arrows in the quiver are severed. The reaction draws Pat's attention who looks back and away from Zip, not noticing the small line forming on the gobo's right cheek. Zip doesn't seem to take note either, methodically continuing the process of pulling a bolt from the quiver to knock in the crossbow. Nak has begun to move forward, leaving the scene, glancing back briefly to give one hushed order before joining the front.
Nak, softly: "<Prepare to withdraw.>"
