If he knows they are coming his traps are killer but most of these fights seem to be suprise encounters. He is one of if not the best at mid range open field combat, but it would appear that Idrils tactics would be:

A. Snipe with the bow someplace out of crossbow range

B. Sneak up on him

C. Play innocent and walk by him then shank him when is trying to tip his hat at her

So with his traps and crossbows not in a position to win a fight he is left with Scimitar, hand to hand and haggling. He is certainly better than most soldiers with the blade but in order to balance with his amazing crossbow skills he is not as skilled with swords as say, I don't know, a 1000 year old elf. So that leaves him with Hand to hand and haggling, the latter of which is useless in fighting situations so in the end hand to hand is his best defence against characters like Idril in a suprise situation, so no pun intended but I have to hand it to her.
