[ Curufin hears Tucker's body shift, and he springs out of the way just in time to avoid the first of the paintballs. The roof doesn't have much of an overhang, so it doesn't provide much cover for the Elven warrior. He runs quietly along the side of the house, turns the corner and runs a little further.
That guy up there is a clever adversary. He's got the advantage as long as he stays on the roof, and so Curufin needs to find better cover -- and also to trick him into showing himself, if possible.
The buildings are clustered together, and there is another shop not far away. The Elf steps out just a little way, hoping Tucker hasn't followed the sound of Elvish feet half-way round the house. He fires a shot over the roof. It probably won't hit the man, but it might cause him to duck, in which case Curufin will have time to run to better cover. Or it might cause him to scramble to take another shot at the Elf, in which case, with luck, some part of him will be silhouetted against the sky for an instant. ]
