Just wondering at the begging of the game when you can either throw a rock, fire or throw a weapon at Heodan's attacker if by any chance you actually miss and hit him instead? I've made many characters and it doesn't seem like it. You'd think perhaps there'd be a chance as I thought to myself the first time "Oh, damn, what if I accidentally hit Heodan instead?" Just thought it would add to the suspense of the situation if there was a chance you hit him.

The only option that guarantees Heodan's death is doing nothing. The game only gives the throw rock option if your dexterity is high enough, otherwise you'll have to throw (and lose) the weapon you have equipped.

Yup... Far more irritating is that you lose the weapon you throw. 

The vanilla game "interlude scenes" are pretty forgiving though. I never screwed one up until White March...
