okay, i'm making a call here. first off, drallinix, you will have to edit your post. but, after going over the posts and putting together everyone's implied locations i'm going to settle this little dispute.
Schradinger was in the tree with drallinix in front of him. LeeRoy walked up behind drallinix and drallinix took to the air, bringing him slight above Schradinger and fairly high above LeeRoy. this means he's closer to Schradinger but with where he moved from when he moved to the right there would be no way that he could keep an eye on both Schradinger and LeeRoy, with his attention mainly on LeeRoy when he moved it's implied he was looking mostly towards LeeRoy at the time meaning that while he may have seen Schradinger coming at his side he wouldn't have done so in time to react.
also we'll have drallinix edit the post to take this into account then both LeeRoy and myself will post. after that we'll start the posting order properly.
