Taviss has no problem moving through the trees to better his angle and then let his arrow fly as the pirate comes into view past the tents.  Even with the trees cutting down on the sight lines and providing a small amount of cover for the pirate [+4 AC for cover] the arrow flies right over Skarghash's head and impacts the pirate right in the arm, causing the pirate to yell out in agony!  [Move action to move / Attack longbow: AC 16 (cover) / 18+6=24 *hit* / 3 dam]**********OOC:  Once stonegod decides whether or not he wants to try to make the javelin throw, I'll write up whether the arrow shot of Ringmereth's drops the pirate or not.  The other three of you can prepare your second round actions.<img src="http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/1717/piratecampinit2ka9.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
