Sneaking isn't the problem, it's running out of ammo before I die. >_<
I guess I could just travel to a town first and repeatedly sell sand from the floor to stock up on arrows.

Now knowing that, my next question would be to ask if anyone had tips on how to survive your first quest as a ranged character - stone thrower, bowman, crossbowman, etc.

I die when I try those, but it seems that it's the only option for ranged attackers in the party if party members can't be reliable ranged attackers.
Send your meatshields party members to attack, sneak around the battle and ambush the cheap as hell assholes archers.

I wouldn't have a problem playing an archer once I had a party, but the problem is getting a notable kill so I can actually build a party before I die.

Rolled up a name for my new dwarven adventurer and got "Ushat Bluesnails."

Everyone is offended when he introduces himself.

I recently had an axeman who got his arm chopped off on his first or second quest.
He went on to lead a band of 14+ followers and had slain ettin, minotaurs, families of dark trolls and more.
I retired him after a bit because I wanted to play an adventurer in that same world who wasn't a one-armed rampage machine. :-\

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Question on Ranged Party Members

First post on DF forums! :D

As far as having a Bowman or Crossbowman in your party is concerned, will they eventually run out of arrows/bolts? I've brought mine into quite a few battles and they haven't stopped firing yet. Do they collect arrows and bolts after battles, restock them on their own when they get to town, have an unlimited number, or just eventually stop firing?
