SoD mentioned a while back that he'd be traveling and wouldn't be posting regularly for some time, so if nobody (ie - Sam, who's waiting on this match to finish) minds, I don't mind delaying the DQ.

  First of all...
  SoD, refs
   
   Spoiler 
  Just a minor technicality:  You can't take a "five foot step" in a round you moved in.  So technically, since you moved, you can't ready an action to take a 5' step.  You can however ready an action to move, and then only move 5'.  You just can't take an actual " 5' step ".  I hope that makes sense.
   
  
  
  Secondly, when you  Ready an Action , that is a visible action and must be stated outside of spoilers if LoS is established.  It should look like so:
  
  Ready an Action
  {spoiler} I'll do X if Y happens {/spoiler}
  
  Glunk has a readied action right now.  Play continues, Yorick's turn.

conversations.value: SoD: Appologies, it is now fixed for wording.

   Glunk is the victor.  Insert clever remark here.
