  Ah, the old darkness on a bolt trick again.  Last time I reffed this, I mistakenly drew the AoEs wrong.  You'll need to pick a corner of the square the bolt is in for the area template.  I'm going to put this one on M10/N11 unless you say differently.  If you want to pick one corner (like bottom right) to be the default for every square, that'd be cool.  I'll keep up with an updated map.

   Spoiler 
  Two questions actually.
  1.  Fishy's doggy hit me, but the trip attempt wasn't made, do we need to rewind?
  2.  Since Fishy's doggy has pinpointed me with Scent, but cannot see me when I hide, if I move out of the threatened square I'm in, does Fido get an AoO against me even though he can't see me?

  If the opposed trip check fails, then there's no need to rewind, as nothing changed.  If it succeeds, we will.  Spoiler your  Opposed Trip  resist roll for refs only.
  
  Dog Trip check:   (1d20+2)[ 8 ] 
  
  Your check to resist should be at a +5 modifier, if my read on your character is correct.

  Dog knows sneaks is out of scent.  Could have gone north or south.  Animal not smart enough to know distance range Sneaks must stay from darkness, or would automatically know the only place sneaks can hide out of scent range is north.  So, Dog has 40 move.
  
  To determine direction of search:
  1= north
   (1d2)[ 1 ] 
  Edit:  So north
  
  EDIT:  Dog moves North, gaining scent at M11, remainder of move to be figured once I factor out ref information and account for animal int.
  
  Fido attempts to sweep the darkness, and see around the corner, using nose and eyes to search for target. From M11, continues to N8, and then to K8.
