That's enough of a description for me to work with, without a map being provided, as I can effectively draw a map or imagine the situation fairly accurately from the data provided. So to recap, number of enemies and distance from PCs is information we might want. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
