The Hobbit: Routine at 8FF5

8FF5: THROW AT

Throwing something at a character is attacking the character with it, and at anything else striking it with it: the two objects are swapped and ATTACK WITH or STRIKE WITH is run (SWAPPED_OBJECTS). Done for real, the thrown thing lands, held by nothing, and the target reacts as to an attack.
