I herewith announce my first ranger winner. 
Allthough I had been playing rangers for many years I never managed to win with this class - until today.
This is my fourth winner, and the second best after two paladins and one rogue.
I had a terrible time searching for ammo. My first attempt was a miss and I had to retreat. I searched the dungeon up and down but couldn't find decent arrows. I finally took some 4d4 arrows and a full stack of 1d4 arrows and prepared the battleground with a plaster of runes of protection. (The Bow of the Bard does it anyway. ^^)
My four good fellows
