[. . . ] From here, you have a few options (more details follow for specific encounters) but we primarily focus on then switching to attack and stabbing it in the back of the neck.

A Kull lurks at the far end of the room and, if you are quick, you can stun him with an arrow, run to him, and then ride him into his friends.
