[sblock=ooc]Light Ballista, 2 rounds to load, 3d8 damage, 19-20/x2 crit, range increment 120'.  You have one at the front and one at the rear of the boat.  Highly suggested to have fully loaded and ready before leaving the ship.Inside (actually on top of) the tower, they have partial cover.  Once you get close, you see that it is simply white sails that make the walls of the tower, but that still provides the concealment necessary.  To hit the pirates up on the tower, you are shooting into a bright light, for an additional -2 penalty to hit.Rowing: 1 rower, 20' as a double move.  2 rowers, 30' as a double move. Number of pirates on shore, at least three, probably more as they are shifting around and making preparations.No surprise here as you charge the beachhead.  You get to pick the distance you want to fire your first shots from and whether it will be ballista or your own bows.So, how do you want to approach?  It is a 1,000 ft from ship to shore.  The sandbar is 1,200 ft long.[/sblock][sblock=Combat]32/32 ~ AC 18 ~ Galandra ~ 28/28 ~ AC 15 ~ Amien ~ 10/10 ~ AC 16 ~Tirithon ~ -??/14 ~ AC 14 ~ Pirate human male green ~ was rower-??/??  ~ AC 17 ~ Siren Blackreef caster red~ -??/?? ~ AC 1? ~ Pirate human light turner-??/?? ~ AC 1? ~ Pirate human light turner?? is there more??[/sblock]</blockquote>
