Gildrim is up, followed by Weel, Richard, and Karl.  [/sblock][sblock=status and initiative]<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Richard 48/48</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Karl 10/10</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Hydra unharmed, 5 heads</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Gildrim 34/34 <== You're up</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Weel 18/18</li> </ul>[/sblock][sblock=map]<img src="http://betahelix.net/pics/maps/SwampTrek/hydra02.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />It's at <a href="http://betahelix.net/pics/maps/SwampTrek/hydra02.png" target="_blank">http://betahelix.net/pics/maps/SwampTrek/hydra02.png</a>, if you can't see the embedded image above.  The greenish-blue squares are shallow bog.  It's about 1 foot deep, and costs 2 squares of movement to enter.  The blue squares, such as T31, are deep bog.  It has 4 feet of standing water,   It costs medium or larger creatures 4 squares to enter such a square, and provides them cover.  By spending a move action to duck down, that becomes improved cover.  However, creatures with improved cover take a -10 penalty to attack creatures that aren't underwater.  [/sblock]</blockquote>
