They skewered each other with their last attacks. They were alone with each other at the time of this fight, and the other PCs came into the room after it was over to find them both lying dead. (The PC was raised shortly thereafter.)So, in 15 years of playing with this possibility, only once did I see anything interesting happen from it. How about you? Have you seen simultaneous initiative produce anything interesting?Bullgrit</blockquote>
