[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 3272931, member: 17691"] Hm. After reading through it all a third time I think I see what you're getting at. Mael ended the first encounter on the ground with the dead spider on top of him. You say that two-out-of-combat rounds went by. Mael spent the first of those two rounds digging himself out and retrieving his bow. The second out-of-combat round, from what I can tell, is when Traven molted and ran out the door. Mael didn't seem to have a chance to take any action during that round. Effectively, he did nothing at all. You then rolled initiative and began the first round of a second encounter with the spider already outside and running. Considering that the PCs all beat him on initiative when you did roll it, I find that unfair. When I posted my actions in post 68 I believed that all the PCs were acting before Traven, before he had a chance to make it out the door. That, at least, is my error. Now that we're on the third round of this second encounter, Mael has had four full rounds in which he's done little more than run a lap around the taproom. I'd just like my character to be doing something useful is all. Frankly I don't really care anymore. Forget it. [/QUOTE]
