There is poor lighting throughout the map once you pass the first double line.  Dim and dirty light crystals lodged inside the walls provide some limited illumination.  Nathan and Garrick; watch it.  Your PCs don't have low-light vision.  Target in dim light have concealment to attacker without low-light vision.The XX area are makeshift covers gathered by the two assailants.  It's an assortment of furniture.  It grants superior cover from ranged attack across it to anyone adjacent who doesn't have any enemies adjacent to him (the assumption being that you hunch behind it and maximize the cover, which you can't do if your neigbour is trying to decapitate you.)You can jump on it as part of your normal movement with a jump (athletic) 25 check.  If you try it and fail you end your movement prone in the square before the XX.  Otherwise, a simple move allows you to step on it.  However you reach the top of this mini barricade, you then need to make a balance (acrobatic) 20.  Fail, by 5 or more and you become prone, fail by less and you stand but your move ends.  Either way, you concede combat advantages.  XX is difficult terrain and cost double to move.  You can forego the balance check and choose to simply crawl on it, conceding both combat advantage and taking -2 to attack but at least being certain to move forward.Teleportation ; remember you need LOS.The entrance doors are open so ignore the double line in front of Nathan and Dagran.  Otherwise, double line indicate closed doors.  They take a minor action to open... if unlocked.  DC 22 thievery or DC 17 strenght check standard action otherwise.  You are almost on top of the dam.  This corridor is inside the dam, right before the roof.  The grey squares next to Garrick is a stair that lead to the actual roof.The system of linked 5x5 rooms are ritual rooms.  That's where arcane engineers conduct the rituals required to strenghten and maintain the integrity of the whole structure.  These are secondary rooms.  Your intel suggests that the lead bad guys are located at the main chamber, in the heart of the building, on lower levels, and will conduct a ritual to weaken and bring down the dam.The room to the right is a locker room for some of the personnel.[/sblock][sblock=Monsters Stats]Mad MonkSenses Perception +10HP 68; Bloodied 34AC 22; Fortitude 16, Refl ex 20, Will 18AoO =  +12 vs. AC; 1d8 + 4 damage.Low Light VisionCurrently enjoy superior cover.[/sblock]</blockquote>
