[Lutha rolls Perception with a -2 modifier and fails miraculously. What's that? Sorry, can't hear you, mystery voice, he has a bird to shoot down.
It also means he doesn't catch the bolt hitting the sand at his feet until the sand is flying with a crack. He chokes in a breath, throwing his hand out on reflex to counteract with Pyro and gain some distance --
-- which... sort of works, given that it immediately causes an explosion and sends the redhead launching backwards, blowing the wind out of him as his back hits the sandbar and he tumbles head-over-heels to a stop, the front of him still smoking. Ow.
His gun has gone flying off into who knows where, so at least Julius is safe for now!]
