(Apologies if this is something I don't understand)

This unbrained adder could continue moving west, since it's in the same horizontal row as Beethro. Instead, it elects to go south.

See the last move of the attached demo.

EDIT: OK, I think it's reacting to the stalwart instead of Beethro. Probably normal behavior.

Two things:
This demo is for Below Witherwood. Mines 2N, in case anyone is trying to work it.

I believe the explanation for this behaviour is:
The adder is only paying attention to the stalwart at that point in time as he is closer to the adder than Beethro is. Beethro's position is therefore irrelevant.

I can't think of a situation where being sworded/unsworded would affect serpent movement (unless of course it affects something else in the room like an orb or whatever).

Edit: Grrr, post collision - and I thought I was being all clever.
