My dad gave me a bow and arrow when I was four, with steel tip target arrows; there's a picture of me somewhere with a little paper native american feather headdress, kneeling 5 feet in front of a target....my dad really liked bows and arrows. His primary question when there's a medieval movie is "was there any archery in it?"
I don't let my kids play with bows and arrows though. I was a pretty mellow kid though; my kids are maniacs.

Having shot actual arrows in the meat world,....
1 when one of those three feathers is missing, an arrow doesn't necessarily want to fly straight
2 after hitting something hard, you often bend and warp the shaft a little, and it doesn't fly straight
Neither of these factors would be mitigated by an adamantine arrowhead, so the rule actually looks good to me in real life; though I doubt anybody's done ballistics on arrows to statistically prove the 50%....
Though I bet a warp wood spell would fix some damaged arrows, and you can glue feathers back on, although the arrow's probably bent allready, so it's less time consuming to just buy more.
then
cast bull's strength on myself, in contemplation of melee, and move to w23. Then move to AG 26; seeing if me dicking about with their collection draws their attention.....
Move to AC 16, in case I should have to start healbombing the Lone Gunman...

Ogay missed that....moving to ac 22 I get everybody but Runzyl in.
I bless fervor on everybody but Rolund

So....
Bor
Basher
Lightbringer
Ez
Me
Gil
and Janosz
get the spell.

Hi ho;

Aleph's leveled,
Rodergo picked spells;

Lemme know if you guys want me to pop it; it's a 4th level spell, so if you're really scared of this thing we can. 30 feet more movement for 7 rounds though; he might not give up that easily....

I'm kinda lost with respect to passage of time; could I have put a reclip of spells in my gun yet? I didn't know if those Thranish douches would let me rest enow to do so, then I kinda didn't think about it and whatnot.

Spoiler:
It involved a man, named Norn, who was working on special warforged for I don't know what reason. Now the Dreaming Dark is after....whatever was there at his facility when the Day of Mourning fell.
We're in contact with Kalashtar that were helping us with information.
I don't know who or what's there exactly.
But we need to find out, and we need to thwart their plans. I'm sure the Dark has sent operatives.
I'm sure the Dark isn't being questioned by Thranish authorities.
Oh, no. They have carte blanche to do as they wish, apparently. No political entanglements.
Do you see what we're walking into? I think Rolund will pay his penance there. I think we will too.
Perhaps we could glean the prisons of Thrane for help in the Mournlands....It might save some money for the taxpayers.

Spoiler:
we are passing through Thrane, sir.
We ride on the mournlands. Seeking a mystery from the time of the wars. Something to do with unorthodox experiments with warforged....
Rodergo Xativa(m ROD! YOU HAVE A 12 DEX NOW!!!human CLERIC 6 EXORCIST SLVR FLAME 4exp =95,470(cast as a 8th level cleric))
Rodergo hands over his goods, grudgingly. He's trembling, face red. He's ruder than Rolund about it. Hyperventilating.
Pissed off.
"HERE! TAKE IT!!!! TAKE THIS TOO! IT'S ALL. JUST. STUFF. THE POWER OF THE FLAME YOU CANNOT TAKE!!!"
Rodergo Xativa(m ROD! YOU HAVE A 12 DEX NOW!!!human CLERIC 6 EXORCIST SLVR FLAME 4exp =95,470(cast as a 8th level cleric))
"Good sir, we are on a mission, bound for the Mournlands. All we need is the rent of a ship and we will be quit of this place.
We are going to the Mournlands.
It's doubtful, don't you think, that we shall return from there...
save my good country some coin and I can guarantee you that we'll see to our own doom.
You know who we are. We don't riot.
If we wanted to we could have left that crowd bleeding in the streets back there. We didn't.
Just let us get out of your hair."
diplomacy 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 +2 to Lightbringer's superior roll.

Rod'll walk up to the "leader."
He speaks softly.
"Sir...I will let you go because your heart truly is in the right place.
BUT: if you and this (casts his eyes over the hooligans) rabble choose to interfere with my sacred duties any further, rest assured that...."
then he stares at the youngest squirty kid there;
"you there....I've seen you before. How long have you known that at least one of your grandparents was a werewolf?"

"Inquisitor Thoth I presume?
I am Rodergo Xativa, a humble priest of the flame.
I and my companions ride on the Mournlands, on a mission of grave import. Something to do with a Journal by a guy named Norn, doing unorthodox experiments on warforged.
Much of it is a mystery at the moment; I'll go into as much detail as you wish and I'll cooperate with Thranish authorities as much as possible. (if this is necessary, it will take me a day IRL, as I need to reread all the details, and I'm being constantly interrupted at the moment).
I also know that my companions are somewhat unorthodox.
But ask yourself this:
who better to go on a fool's errand into the Mournlands, probably to their death I might add, than.....
a somewhat unorthodox Priest of the Flame,
his robot paladin cohort,
a few rasty ragamuffins from all points of the globe,
and a pair of Karrnathi?
Beats sending the few towheaded babies of Thrane to their doom. There are so......few, the babies of Thrane, after that last meatgrinder of a war decimated their number."
diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25 + AP 1d6 ⇒ 3 OR 1d6 ⇒ 5

Rod turns to the vet.
"Aah. I remember that wound....Did....you didn't lose the eye?....
Is your name Ijago Mandierros? No, that would be too odd a coincidence. Or not. There were so many I had to put back together from that war.
So many....
I don't always remember the faces, just the wounds."
diplomacy 1d20 ⇒ 1 plus action point 1d6 ⇒ 4 or 1d6 ⇒ 6
+15=21.
fumble. woohoo.
"Yes, we only pass through Thrane. We ride on the Mournlands, on a mission of great import. A mystery, involving warforged, and unorthodox experiments thereupon conducted during the Great War......a mystery that leads us to that bleak place. One we must interrogate for the good of all of the Kingdoms.
I know I keep strange bedfellows. Life isn't a Ripanziolo Morality Play....when the boots hit the mud." Looks at Rolund; "this man, is a good friend. An honorable warrior. He and our minotaur mercenary have risked their lives numerous times along with me fighting the forces of darkness.
If the kingdoms are going to have any chance whatsoever, we all have to work together. We all have to put the past behind us.
We're doing that, my little cohort of Thranish and Karrnathi cooperation."
