Also as this battle continues the directional message will switch to South-East soon, but that just means the target is just alittle bit pasted ESE, not actually South-East (and soon after that back to east again). I knew it would mean extra DB work to make the enemies work, but I wanted to get the jokes in, so I did it.The GM can and should declare that an ineffectual foe is not enough of a threat to count as an enemy for effects that grant you a benefit when you do something to an enemy or have an enemy do something to you.
