Bodkin fletchers are [[Humanoid family|goblin]]-like creatures with dark purple skin that don green hoods and blue robes.

Thankfully, the archers often carry around [[Antidotal herb]]s to cure any [[party]] member that has been {{Poison}}ed. The archers are quite cowardly and will often call for help from their own kind or flee when the odds are against them.
