He Did It Again
After a fairly attractive Drow stalled for a bit of time whilst her spiders manoeuvred across the ceiling and dropped down behind a few of us, the Mage leapt in to action. He whipped out his familiar wand of Colour Spray, took careful aim, and fired the spell at myself and the Ninja.
Luckily, we both made our saving throw, avoiding his treacherous attempt to disable us so that he could leave the party and join with the forces of evil. However, it seems that one of the spiders was also caught in the effects of the Colour Spray spell, collapsing to the ground dazed, so he was able to claim that that was what he was really aiming for.
Maybe he should start putting some ranks in Bluff.
