What you did was stand there and let him get the first attack in, and then proceeded to allow combat to pass without taking a single action other than that sneak trigger (which would have kept you doing nothing and wasted another round of your precious time to fight or flight).
Yes... but, you're wrong in this and your other post in seemingly suggesting that she allowed "combat to pass without taking a single action"....
You do realize that was *less* than one full combat round, yes? That log wasn't edited at all. Once he attacked, she was dead, short of getting in a flee in the split second between the missed phoenix kick and the combat round. The sneak trigger is foolish, but didn't get her killed here. She was dead before the command even went through.
But yes, my overall point is that the fight itself could have been avoided (and should have been avoided).
