Heh. 'Ears'. Hey - what'd be my penalty to hit those ear-carving priests? I'm pretty good with a bow...
I mean, I'm just taking a second to scope the situation, here. So, I tell you what. If I think there's a 50% chance I could drop a priest in one round - my THACO's 14, and I do an average of 5hp per hit (or whatever the fantasy-archery equivalent is of that math), so if I think I could drop a guy I do.
If not, then I'll drop my bow and sword and line up.
