I'm writing a story that takes place during the 12th Century. My main character's love interest was about to be shot in the heart with an arrow by a guard but as the guard was drawing, she turns to face her love interest and took the arrow to her right scapula. The guard that was shooting was maybe ten feet away.
After she was shot, she helped her love interest escape and after distracting the guards, broke the shaft off and jumped out the window to the water below.
So here are my questions:
1) The arrow didn't go deep enough to make her bleed out but about how much blood would she lose and how would it effect her? Would it be enough to pass out?
2) How would the arrowhead be extracted during this time period?
3) How long would it take for her to heal and would she still be able to wield a sword once healed?
4) The water is pretty high up from the window. Would there be any other wounds inflicted by the fall?
I apologize about having so many questions but so far I have found nothing to fit what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
