Sumber Hills Day 7
The party maneuvers into position to attack from two sides, hoping to surprise their would be ambushers. J.V notices that the two bandits nearest him are looking closely at where the party initially stopped but don't seem to react at first.
As Duran the mouse scurries around, he does attract some attention from a bored sentry, but the sentry only watches him. It's not until Eroll, tries to move forward that the ambushers tense. A poorly disguised owl hoot comes from the group closest to JV, and it becomes clear that the whole group of ambushers is now alert.
The area is filled with bushes and a few trees, so everyone has light concealment and the ability to hide if they want. Erol has likely been seen, but everyone else still believes they are hidden.
GM: | Sorry if there have been any inconsistencies over the last few weeks.
I placed Duran by the rear guard, but if you envisaged him somewhere else just say so.
Initiative and actions if you are faster than the baddies. | |

The foot soldiers ofthe Crushing Wave cult are vicious sea reavers. Many of them were pirates before they fell in with the cult, and they remain eager for blood and plunder. Crushing Wave reavers appreciate the value of stealth and surprise, and look for chances to launch sudden attacks from positions of concealment whenever possible. The soldiers of the Crushing Wave cult are highly loyal to the cult priests, but they rarely fight to the death if an avenue of retreat is open to them. Reavers carry shields made of giant crab shells, and the blades of their swords are lined with shark's teeth.

They believe that using water to kill their enemies, such as through ritual drowning, earns them Olhydra's favor.[/SBLOCK]
