Can a monster in the Archer's own room block its ranged shot?
The designer confirmed this on BGG several times, and it matches the rulebook's description of the Archer's ranged attack reaching an adjacent room only.

No. A ranged shot targets only the adjacent room toward the Vault, so only a defender in that targeted room can block it. A monster in the Archer's own room can still defend against the melee attack that follows the shot.
