[QUOTE="Greenstone.Walker, post: 7318321, member: 6788312"] At this point in time, B [I]is [/I]hidden. A does know that B exists and their general location ("in the alley somewhere") since A saw B run into the alley, but they don't know an exact location and generally cannot target B with spells or weapons. That's what hidden means.

For example, by moving behind some trash and staying quiet and still. For example, by running out the other end of the alley. For example, by disguising themself as someone else.
