The monsters and NPCs reacted quickly, often to an incomplete picture of what was going on -- their slice of the Dockside Pie -- and they didn't always make good decisions. Not sure how much that comes across in the post, but that was the goal. <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=";)" />To give you an idea of what the map looked like, here it is towards the end of the battle, and then at the beginning. I'm a huge fan of Fiery Dragon's counters, and we got to use a crapload of them in this battle. After using them for a year, I've come to view them as pretty much indispensible.As far as the pictures go: Do you enjoy them, or do they just clutter up the thread?</blockquote>
