Now, we can do this the hard way, or... well, actually there's just the hard way.

However, it looks like at least 2 combat rounds have taken place: I blind, he hits, I flee, and return. Then he bashes me. I had a similar occurance happen later, where I blinded a mob, fled, invised myself, rememed, went to blind another mob, fled the second mob into the first mob, and it hit me, only to ignore me when I fled and came back in.

Dont ask me to explain how its possible coding wise, cuz i cant, but...
Be careful blinding stuff, if you are real fast, you can blind flee and run back in before the game registers the change and the mob will hit you. Happens all the time to me. Other spells (namely effect spells, like dscales and stone) have the same issue. If its a tricky place, just take a half a second pause before re-entering if possible, this always ensures the spell has taken ahold.

My understanding of how muds in general (and specifically this mud) manage your status is on a tick based system. Each tick you gain a certain amount of health back, and it can also take a tick for certain things to register (ie: dispelling an Embody and then waiting for it to actually fall off).
In this case, the blind landed, but rather than instantaneously being effected, the mob had a tick where he could still see.. then the blind took effect.
Of course, there are actually a rather broad range of tick lengths and checks that happen (some paralyzes land instantly, others like earthblood can seem really wonky) but I'd say blind falls under the "actually takes effect when the game ticks" category.

And in that tick, while he could still see, he hit me, THEN I fled, came back in, and he bashed me.

Stacked commands :) He lagged from the kill command, you came in just in time for the bash command to pull through. It's happened to mobs fleeing from me before :)
