  He's out there-somewhere. For now I'll try sneaking but if that doesn't work it may be necessary to stand out in the middle taking total defense and scream "come and eat me". So, U-18 seems a pretty good spot. I think precedent says the trees don't interfere with LoS at ground level, so Ed should be able to see most of arena south of the alter.

  I can't get to your sheet right now, so I'll just have to ask.  What is your movement?  R12 to X15 is 65'.  If your move is 30' then you can only get to X14 on a double move.  Either let me know that your move is higher than 30' or that you are in X14.

  Move silently checks while running take a -20 penalty, which would make you audible.
  
  Talking (free action) generally carries a DC of 0.
  
  Performing actions while explicitly not moving silently would have a similar DC.

  Anyway, I've requested an unbiased ref opinion over in the waiting room.
  
  While we wait, feel free to post another action. If you get the extra damage he's down, and if you don't then Ed's still dazed. Either way, he isn't doing anything this turn. 
  
  EDIT:
  Then... Crazy Ed's down.
   I'm not certain where half the damage is coming from, but if you are willing to post the damage break down then Crazy Ed will admit defeat.
