[QUOTE="cmad1977, post: 8174361, member: 6791950"] You can also create a token with vision and make hay emits light that is controlled by all members of the party. This allows the group to drop a little token behind them that provides light(i set mine to dim light) and grants vision to everyone in places that the heroes have been. The advanced fog of war does this but I have had issues with its implementation(could just be me) and found this trick works well.
