Time to attack:
Odins Beard Shakens! You load a bunch of arrows in that deady bow-rifle of yours, take an almost too long aim and release in a swift move. All 3 arrows hit target and you do a large amount of damage, its a hit of 10 points. We can almost hear you mumble too easy...
Raktan rolls a 10 and beats the required 5.
Raktan begins fussing over his crossbow and shakes his head as he sees how bloody the robes have gotten.
"Why would these miscreants do such a thing! I hope none of my bolts were bent in the exchange..."
It's the care you take with your weapon that leads to victory!
