[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 5097223, member: 61155"] Keep in mind that 'amusing' for you = 'a bunch of time sitting around, not able to do anything, and not able to play the game with his friends' for him. Look, it is your group and your friends, and so maybe it really all went just fine, but still seems like a situation best avoided (or run properly) in the future. But that is just my advice. As for the attack question - was he also wielding a melee weapon? (Perhaps had a hand-crossbow in one hand and a dagger in the other?) If yes, then it should be assumed he was attacking in melee.
