Can undead see in the dark?If Gragnor went in first like our established protocol and was standing where you are at, he would get 5' step and claw/claw/bite.  You get to backpedal with a bow, against low level undead in this crypt.  (think DR) The initiative rolls being unkind are not your fault, but add to the issues.  The several minor errors are starting to cascade.[/sblock]</blockquote>
