    Navy vessel fired at cruise ship, then rammed it. Cruise ship that has a reinforced hull for sailing in icy waters.

    Icebreaker cruise ship ended with minor damage, warship sunk.

    Venezuela accused the Resolute of an act of "aggression and piracy". And rambled that the ship maybe "was transporting mercenaries to attack military bases in Venezuela".

    When you rolled a 1 on your attack and the oblivious NPC rolled a 20 on their save...

    More like when a petty thug decides it's a good idea to try and mug the retired adventurer.

    Heard lots of fun,
    Now here comes natural one,
    If you wanted lots of damage,
    I can make it less to none,
    A loaded gun
    Misfiring in your hand
    Single digits take a stand!
    Roll again, it's mighty grand
    And never as planned
