Chronology Hey folks I've been flipping through my WLD recently, contemplating a run at it, and I decided I'd really like to get my hands on a chronology of the dungeon - there's lots of references to "two years ago", "ten years ago", "fifty years ago", etc., and it would be useful to pull...

Okay, this starts to make some sense to me. Lidda is taking a double-move action - hustling while trying to make no noise. The Listen exemplar is taking a single-move action - walking while trying to make no noise. So, the inconsistency is that Lidda is taking a double-move action, and the...
