Turn 1: Rolls to ready his bow, 6+6+6, throws it 3 yards out in front of himself (doesn't bother with the fast draw ready arrow roll).
Turn 2: Rolls to fast draw his katana, 6+6+6, throws it 2 yards into the wall to his right, narrowly missing another PC (10 vs 9).
Turn 3: Rolls to fast draw his wakizashi, 6+6+6, throws it 3 yards into the wall to his left, narrowly missing another PC (11 vs 9).
Turn 4: Rolls to fast draw his tanto, 6+6+6, throws it 4 yards into the wall behind him, narrowly missing another PC (11 vs 9).
Turn 5: Rolls to fast draw an arrow to stab a Giant Spider by hand, 6+6+6 and 6, drops the quiver of arrows at his feet.

It's statistical outliers like this that sometimes make me wonder if trickster spirits of some sort are real.

It's far more likely bad die rolling practices. It's hard to get good randomness out of dice without a dice cup and/or a contained surface to throw them into where it bounces a couple of times. A lot of people just pick up dice and drop them or roll them minimally.
