defeat seeking arrow?

I am not even sure it is a "real" arrow at all (I mean: treated like a real battle sequence).

I think there are only 3 outcomes to this event:
(I may be wrong)

1. You die
2. You survive, but got an ugly chestwound
3. You manage to survive the incident without a scratch

There seems to be some consensus that missile protection helps; I am unsure about luck, and about armor, however. I cant seem to see a difference. I think the mechanics of the event are not too clear. Maybe I am wrong though.

hm i never got so far the 3. outcome that it didn't hit me anyway .

does it do a limited amount of damage or how does it work ?
if i play pythium or tien chi and so on my valuable lowhp mages always die

how is it with jotun e.g. ?
since i never played them farer than turn 5 i have no expierience . but if there is a damage roll have their mages enough hitpoints that they only suffer a chestwound and nothing more ?
