Because Boomer  doesn't have the time to adjust the cannons for long range fire, they  can only make the following attack:        Cannon Fire:  Area burst 2 within 10 (from the cannon that is fired);   Targets all creatures in the burst.  +5 vs Reflex; 1d6+5 damage, and the  area creates a permanent zone of difficult terrain.        It takes a standard action to use the flash pellet you were given to  signal the cannon fire.  When you do so, designate one square within 10  squares of yourself.  This square will be the origin of the cannon fire  attack.  If that square is outside of the cannon's range, the origin of  the blast will be placed in the closest square to where you designated.Boomer will use the cannon closest to where the flash occurs, using a loaded cannon over a non-loaded cannon if more than one is in range.        If you pre-load a/the cannon(s) now, the attack will occur at the end of the turn in which the flash pellet is used, instead of the round after        Feel free to load as many or as little of the cannons now, as you  choose.  Whoever uses the flash pellet, go ahead and roll the attack and  damage rolls for the cannon Fire as well.        You have three shots, and three cannons total.  Use them as frequently  or as sparingly as you wish, but that is all you have for the remainder  of the adventure.
