"There's these nodule thingies. Hold on, can you see them?" he asks, trying to point them out, thinking for a moment longer, before slowly turning back to Randy.

"...Maybe we can try and hit those directly? Maybe you can try and hit it with your bow thing..?"

Randy looks intently towards where Ulmwin is pointing.

Investigation:7

He pauses to irritably wipe sweat from his eyes. "Can you see if they're attached to anything like a plant or animal on the other side?  I really can't see these nodules.  It'll be hard to hit it if I can't see it." 

What is painfully obvious to Ulmwin is eluding Randy's notice. The bard ponders ways to make them clear to the ranger and others beyond just pointing at them.

Ulmwin pauses, considers... Then points a finger in the direction of his target, or one of them at least, briefly speaking up.

"Just aim for where I'm aiming if this does nothing,"

And with that, some of those completely legitmate fire bolts of his shoot out, arcing toward some of the nodules.

Attack: 14 Damage: 6

Second attack because I forgot: Attack: 25 Damage: 5

((The ones that don't seem particularly fiery?))

The portal shrinks as the nodule Ulmwin blasts unravels a bit, but it's still there. The others are able to see if flash and shimmer when the blasts impact it.

"Like through a javelin in there? Would that work?"

Randy closes to 30' of the high lighted target. He pulls back on his bow and tries to apply the PW effect. When he's ready, he nods to Ulmwin. "Light it up again so I can take a shot." He draws back and waits for a visible target. 

He's able to see the twisting in the place Ulmwin blasted.

Ulmwin uses a minor illusion to paint literal targets on where Randy should shoot. 

Dornikal squints and says,

"Aye think aye'll just guard here."

Randy shoots at the indicated target:

longbow1: Attack: 11 Damage: 10

Longbow2:Attack: 12 Damage: 10

Planar Warrior: 7

((I'll say the painted targets via minor illusion give Randy advantage. 24 ;  14 ))

Ulmwin watches as Randy applies darts rules and hits just a bit above the bullseye. 

"It's not that big, gotta hit it straight in the middle!" 

Randy tries again:

Longbow 1:Attack: 24 Damage: 9

Longbow 2:Attack: 18 Damage: 9

PW:1

((Dice roller don't like Randy lately)).

 Randy looks frustrated. "Maybe that time distortion messed with my depth preception..."

((Still with advantage, not that it helped last time... 17, 15))

Randy sends a pair of arrows into Ulmwin's target, the concussive blast of his planar abilities blowing apart the tangle.

Randy's vision flares as he squints against the flare of magic, but when he opens his eyes, he realizes he can see much more acutely.

The rest of you notice an eye in the middle of Randy's forehead. It blinks in time with the other two.

((Randy now has advantage on sight based Perception checks.))
