Previews usually don't show all of the animations. There is both a run and death animation. In fact there are seven separate FLC files total.

I don't know which particular fantasy you are using as a base, but that isn't necessarily true. You can see in post #19, two posts above yours, some references where J.R.R. Tolkien writes about Dwarves using bows. And everyone knows J.R.R., like Aaglo, is the man . Dwarves are supposed to be able to build great forts, that could hold out from enemy sieges for long periods. How could they do that without having missile weapons to defend the forts with? I'm pretty sure that the part where Dwarves are great masons, is universal among fantasy stories. It would make sense they used projectile medieval weapons, be they bows, crossbows, or muskets.
