The Lintha, having had a general advantage in amount of time to react, are all waiting, or mostly ready for combat. Admittedly, flying Solar wasn't on their expected menu, but in the grand scheme of things, it was probably about as unexpected as a mass of blood-thirsty skeletons out for your hide.<br/><br/>Well, no, not really. The skeletons had no blood-thirst, just vengeful memories.<br/><br/>(Init for Lintha 6 successes. Skeletons 4 successes.)
