Sorry for my absence, been having some computer issues - been long overdue for a replacement, running on a new machine now. In the process of getting my files from the old computer; once I've got my rule books back, I'll get my actions going again.
Welcome back, now hurry up and get caught up.

Roll some initiative and stuff.
It was annoying that he got 4 hits on his willpower roll against my stunbolt. If I don't see a panick button (and if I'm still standing when it's my turn, as my attacker is first), I'll simply try to stunbolt him again, hoping to get him this time.
Okay, so you have a logic of four, which works out to an automatic success, so I am gonna give you this one for free since you seem to be getting real wrapped up about it. Since you know, though you haven't yet seen, that there is a mage in the opposing group, between the spell on the crowd and your spirit getting dismissed, it is fairly reasonable that said mage has probably set up Cowboy Boots with Counterspelling protection, which would have helped him resist your spell.
