This is how mine looks, it stops the fighting and then sets it up how it
should be
stop_fighting( fch, FALSE );
stop_fighting( victim, FALSE );
check_killer( ch, fch );
set_fighting( ch, fch );
set_fighting( fch, ch );
set_fighting(victim, fch);
This way, it keeps the ch fighting, just not getting hit. Did that cause we
would have mortal use rescue. And then backstab. Rescue and then backstab.
So we kept them fighting just not getting hit. Hopefully this helps.
