(barely).  Also, I tried to place the area of the entangle as best I could based on your description of desired targets.  S9 as the center was a bit off. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Entangle: a reddish-brown dot next to the number indicates the rider is currently entangled, a dot next to the horse's ear indicates the horse is entangled.Ok, I botched surprise so this round the bandits only took a single action to compensate.  I hope you all agree that's fair.[/GM]InitiativeAdventurersBanditsMap:Vincenzo: N37 (80 ft from bandits)Maui: M47 (130 ft from bandits)<a href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/560/bandits3.jpg/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/3847/bandits3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>Party:Denizel: 38/38 hpMaui: 47/47 hpTaniwha: 42/42 hpSylla: 40/40 hp  Boots: 52/52 hpVincenzo: 57/57 hp Conditions in Effect: lots of buffs.Enemy Status:Bandits# 1 (AC 17, T 11, FF 16)  25/25 hp (bow)# 2 (AC 17, T 11, FF 16)  25/25 hp (bow) mount entangled# 3 (AC 17, T 11, FF 16)  25/25 hp rider entangled# 4 (AC 17, T 11, FF 16)  25/25 hp (bow)# 5 (AC 17, T 11, FF 16)  25/25 hp rider entangled# 6 (AC 17, T 11, FF 16)  25/25 hp (bow)# 7 (AC 17, T 11, FF 16)  0/25 hp# 8 (AC 17, T 11, FF 16)  13/25 hp mount & rider prone[/sblock]</blockquote>
