Thank you Saffith! As always, you are in my debt (whatever good that does...).

So, I can set REFNPC to increment on NPCHP being 0, then moving the FFC torwards NPCX,NPCY by comparing x,y and changing the combo/moving accordingly. When the FFC and the target NPC are touching, the NPC takes damage... Then when all NPCs are dead, it returns behind Link...

This will help me a lot with level 2 of my quest... Thank you!
