(With weapons it's always Body.)  If your weapon is underlined (your Bow skill isn't, alas) you could add your Favoured Body instead.It's not so much that you need to roll to identify it, as that I was being coy about what it is.  I was going to reveal it for good once it closed to combat range.  It's...Well, I'll let Boromir tell you.[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAyh23l1mx4]They have a cave troll...[/ame]The special runes on the d6's are actually Tengwar runes, not Gandalfs.  The d12 has the numbers 1-10, a Gandalf rune (12, meaning auto success) and the Eye of Sauron (11, counts as 0).  The d6's have the numbers 1-6, and a little T-shaped rune near the 6 with is actually the Tengwar numeral 1.Man, nobody knows what "Tengwars" are.  "I rolled a Gandalf" is obvious.  Let's call them Elronds.So you rolled a Gandalf on your first roll, for an automatic hit and a Piercing Blow (you only needed a 10 or higher on the d12 to do a Piercing Blow), and on your second you rolled 18 with one Elrond, which is a regular hit (which doesn't actually do anything special, since you didn't say you were making a Called Shot - if you were trying to do a trick shot of some sort, that Elrond would have been the difference between success and failure).Are you firing at the wolf, the troll, or one at each?Oh, right, the "Fellowship Focus".  Forgot all about that.  If you spend a point of Hope on an action to successfully protect your Fellowship focus and succeed, you get the Hope point back immediately.  (It also has some effects when recovering at the end of the session.)Now that you've done a Piercing Blow, the target (either wolf or troll) gets a chance to resist it.  The 14 is their target number.  Oh, BTW, grayh and fireinthedust haven't been heard from since I got back from vacation. I've PM'd them to see if they're still paying attention.[/sblock]</blockquote>
