This guy makes an excellent point about the relatively nerfed ranged combat in 3.x. Any thoughts? I am not opposed to doing a little un-nerfing, but I want your opinions. http://www.enworld.org/forum/5251921-post9.html

ooc: someone correct me if I'm wrong, but dosn't Scrag need a second attack/rnd or some kind of feat to get off two shots?

The two rafts get coordinated and start creeping towards the docks. Grok and Roderic's raft rapidly moves ahead of John's. Scrag straightens up from his normal knuckle-dragging pose and launches an arrow at the creatures on the ledge. The missile flies a gentle arc and neatly knocks one down...

Rosalia is rewarded with a clipped bark of pain and surprise, followed by a splash as one of the snipers falls from the ledge and into the water below. Staying low, John and Grok start poling, the ungainly crafts bobbing and slowly moving along. The sounds of crossbows being reloaded and...

OOC: Need Rosalia's action, and Roderic should be thinking about what to do...

Scrag's ring-bound tooth hurts while he tries to think. Scrag glances around quickly. He combines the musculature of his fellow passengers, their weight distribution, an estimated water-to-mushroom friction ratio, and sheer animalistic dead reckoning to derive an approximate arrival time of...

OOC: Grok should still roll init, should he decide to cast a spell, pole the raft, or something else during the combat. John, Roll spellcraft or knowledge arcana, whichever you prefer. Rosalia may take her action now, it's a safe bet nobody will beat a 24 init. There are 4 short figures up on...

ooc: Wow. The rafts just start moving when something splashes into the water nearby. An eyeblink later, a short feathered shaft suddenly sprouts from the deck of the raft, and then a grunt of pain from Grok when another sinks shallowly into his flesh. Motion and clacking, crossbow reloading...

OOC: Everyone make a spot check. This occurs while you are all still on the open water.

ooc: Anybody else have a preference or taking any actions? Sounds like Rosalia is poling for the dock in the western grotto.

ooc: True! Sorry, I realized this about 3am last night and haven't had a chance to address it till now. John reflexively scrambles to take up the struggle with the raft abandoned by Rosalia. With a free moment to take it in, Rosalia examines the spider's home. Close up and in the light, the...

OOC: Grok comment makes GM chuckle, +25xp The raft comes to a sudden halt as it is deposited into a large pool of calmer water. The pool here appears to be roughly ten feet deep in most places, and the ceiling arches overhead in a dome shape twenty feet high at the center. To the north, the...

With trollish fury, Scrag annihilates the front end of the spider. The impact is so hard, it knocks the creature off the web and backwards. The body bounces once off the deck of the other raft and into the rushing water. OOC: Combat is over. I did not forget the chain whip range, Voda...

Through his mace, Grok feels the chitin of the spider give way with a crack that can be heard over the rushing water. A fraction of a second later, Grok is hit with a wet, sticky rain from above where Tuk's attack impacted. Roderic's sword stroke would have been effective, but for the shifting...

Apparently, Rosalia and John's struggles with the raft have drawn more attention from the spider than Roderic's, for it begins moving along toward where they are ensnared and continue to vibrate the web. On it's way, it passes the raft with Roderic, Tuk, and Grok, however. OOC: Grok, you may...

Roderic lodges the pole between the web, the rafts bindings, and some large stones at the bottom of the river, leaving his hands free for combat. Rosalia continues to struggle with her raft, and only John's quick hands prevent her from dropping her pole altogether. OOC: John, make a strength or...

Rosalia begins trying to find a way to lodge the raft in place. OOC: Grok is up! Roderic and Rosalia, make a str or int check. Sorry for not updating much lately guys. As usual, real life kicks my ass. Roderic 21 (rnd1 poling) Rosalia 18 (rnd1 poling) Grok 17 Spider 14 Scrag 9 Tuk 6 John 5

OOC: So, Grok, Roderic, and Tuk, on one raft, and Rosalia, Scrag, and John in the other, I'm guessing. The basic situation is that the web is strung just above the surface of the water. The web is no longer sticky due to the constant wetness. The current is strong and is trying to pull the...

Grok also finds that the web is more slimy than sticky. OOC: The webs do not entangle, they only stop things that are floating from going downstream. Amaury please clarify what Rose is doing. Also, who all is on the raft that Roderic is not on? Roderic 21 (rnd1 poling) Rosalia 18 Grok 17...

Roderic wrestles the unwieldy craft against web and current, holding it back as if holding the feet of a freind on the end of a hangman's noose. He notices a gap between the mushroom stalks that comprise the raft deck. With a good strike, he could probably lodge a pole through the gap and into...
