  Can Tael move  through  the haystack without scattering it?

  I'm not sure you can move through the haystack, and I don't see how you get to L11 without moving through it.  Is there a precedent?

  I don't think it matters. Neither of our actions would conflict with either of ours.

   (2d4+2)[ 5 ] 
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: hustlertwo: I think that's you at -1, then.  And as far as I'm concerned, anytime I face someone 1 on 1, they can just permanently declare me as their dodge target (in fact, I think my round 58 opponent has done just that).  Doing it every round is only necessary when there's more than one opponent.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: ZaneLaCoix: That was certainly interesting.
  But yeah, it's your win this time around.
  
  That was the only time he had declared dodge on him.
  
  Good luck in the following rounds.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: hustlertwo: Same to you.  Hope you have some money saved, since the next person you fight will have won 300 GP more than you (the bum rap about being the last person knocked from the winner's bracket).  Can make for a precarious position.
