[Sunedilar’s attack rolled 19+8-2=AC 25, hit.  Rolled 10 points of damage.  Accalon rolled 6+6=AC 12 vs. the wizard’s flatfooted AC, but still missed.  Lydia made a double move and is now HTH with Azallin.][Characters by initiative, damage:Aligor, HPs:27/37Bane, unhurtMen with short swords, unhurtMan on Aligor, very hurtLeeza, unhurtT’aria, unhurt (probably; she’s at HPs: 5/13 with no healing)Sundilar, unhurtHectaras, unhurtAzallin, very hurtAccalon, HPs:29/32Lydia, HPs:10/20][Updated map included.  I split the map up into the two areas of fighting to show more of the area behind the crystal shop.  Since the map changed, that means all the coordinates changed, so if you tell me where you’re moving be sure you’re using this map.]</blockquote>
