[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 1092333, member: 1213"] [B] Wait! I learned the arts of war in an elven fighting school. We were taught to respect nature and not to underestimate its might.

As soon as she is within range, she hits it with scorching rays, being sure to move right after, but always back towards the ship in some way. Its going to have a real problem determining what square shes in on a 3D plane. Doing the math.... A Roc moves at 80. Rana moves at 40. The Range of the Rays are 55. Rana moves to 55 fron the beast, fires. Moves back, wasting 10 of her move for varying position so that the Roc doesn't guess her location. Roc moves 80, ending up 5 feet fron Rana. She fires again and moves 30, so she is 35 fron the Roc. Roc moves 80, so he is 45 past Rana. Rana fires a third time, moves back 30, thus being 15 behind the Roc. Roc moves 80, thus being 95 past Rana. Rana must then double move to get into Roc range. So Rana can get three SRs off by the time the Roc can sucessfully evade. [/QUOTE]
