>>5484378>>5484381>Rolled 3, 1, 1, 6, ... 1/ Elf roll: Will +0 (Intellect to recall how to load and arm a cannon)
3+1+0 = 4 < 7 (oh no!)
There is a twirly stick. Also some sponge-like wadding? Some cord or string here that smells a bit sulphurous? Does it go before or after the cannonball, maybe on top of it? Hmmm. Saorlai The Elf recalls the circus once had some "Acrobat launched from cannon" act. If only she had paid more attention...
A sudden thought occurs to her. Wizards are supposed to be intelligent? Maybe she should have asked Yazdegerd to shout out instructions... as Saorlai the Elf turns to look at Yazdegerd, the demented sorceror is muttering under his breath and flapping his arms and waving his silly lantern again. Last time he did this, all that it produced was an exceptionally unmagical-looking swarm of bats that may have been just a coincidence.
Perhaps he is just insane, and not even a wizard at all...
