[QUOTE="Avatar28, post: 467427, member: 8581"] Actually, it was even better than that. I was playing, I believe, a Ranger, and our wizard was actually a warmage, a custom 2E class that's a combination of fighter and mage. This was a 2E game where a natural 20 was an automatic crit. So here we are, 4 PCs in a rowboat and along comes an enemy troop ship headed right towards. Not having any other plans and our warmage being too low of a level for a really USEFUL spell (like fireball), we did the only thing we could think of. We launched burning arrows at the ship's sails in the hope of maybe distracting them. The warmage went first, natural 20, the sail bursts into flame. Then my turn. Natural 20, there goes the second sail. His turn, ANOTHER natural 20, the third (and last) sail goes up in flames. My turn, already have a burning arrow ready to go. Decided to shoot at someone who looks like a leader. Fired it up, got yet another 20 and nail him with the burning arrow. The ship was burning pretty good by this point and the fire is spreading out of control. So you've got this big troop ship and these guys on a rowboat have just set it on fire. We then proceeded to climb on board during the distraction (they were too busy burning/jumping overboard/trying to put out the fire) and loot some stuff off the ship before making good our escape in the rowboat. We always wondered what the survivors said happened when they made their reports. And what they told their friends. "Uh, yeah...our ship got sank by a couple of guys in a rowboat." [/QUOTE]
