conversations:  As a DM, I have my players use the mnemonicly easy High to Hit. So 51-100 will hit if it's 50% and so on and so forth. Not sure what your stance gives you, since I don't own Tome of Battle...
  
  Actions:Begin in B10, hand axe in hand. Move action, upward to to B5.
  
   The dwarf looks at you with a sneer, and waves you in with his palm upward. "Come get some." 
   
   Spoiler 
  Readied standard action: as soon as my opponent is within reach, I will attack with a stunning fist. DC 13 Fort to negate.
    attack  - (1d20+2)[ 6 ] 
  if concealment applies
    concealment  - (1d100)[ 33 ]  and again   flaw  - (1d100)[ 36 ]  if either misses, then I miss thanks to the murky-eyed flaw
  if it hits
    damage  - (1d6+2)[ 6 ]  plus Fort save or be stunned for 1 round.
  if crit (Nat 20)
    confirmation  - (1d20+2)[ 10 ] 
    damage  - (1d6+2)[ 5 ] 
   
  
  
  Dodge target you. Go.

conversations:  As you don't have the book it's fair for me to say that Child of Shadows gives a 20% miss chance as long as Mits moves at least 10 feet in the round, the other stance gives +2 AC and BTW thanks for moving exactly were I needed (or was it planned with a little readied action?) I will discover now...
  
   Mits 1st to act round 2 
   Shadows engulfs Mits as he moves towards Andek. The dwarf could feel the foul smell of a swamp as the creature aproaches him... 
  
  
  Mits moves to C5. Then swift action to activate distracting ember creating a small fire elemental on A5 and then standard to use shadow blade technique.
  
   As the monster gets closer he summons a fire elemental that threatens Andek then he moves his blade so quickly that it divides itself in two as a cold aura surrounds it. 
    " Fire and Ice attack"  
    attack1  - (1d20+11)[ 29 ] (+2 flanking bonus added)
    attack2  - (1d20+11)[ 17 ] 
    damage  - (2d6+9)[ 15 ] 
  
  also if both attacks hit:
    ice damage  - (1d6)[ 2 ] 
  
  Your turn (if you are still alive that is)
