Do they reset when the first group shows up for the fun because that first group has to roll initiative when they enter this combat?  Is this two encounters? Three? Or just one long encounter?How about that first group, do their abilities reset? They might have taken a moment to 'rest' before persuing the party. I will admit I do not have Bo9S nor SWSE.</blockquote>
