[QUOTE="MithrasRahl, post: 4029391, member: 43428"] Ok, a slightly more detailed version, and yes, true story. We're following the tracks of what seems to be 5 or so humanoid creatures and a horse. We track the entire day, and into the night. At some point we see a fire in the distance, and our rogue scouts it out. He sees a full armored man on watch, and 5 people sleeping with the horse being tethered. The rogue comes back and reports. The Archer (myself) and the Rogue then sneak back to the 6 enemy. My range inc. is 185 feet, and the fire only goes out 50 feet, so I stand 150 feet away. The Rogue goes to the otherside of the camp and readies his wand of lightning. The rest of the party comes forward, and when they're at 250 feet the DM calls for a move silent check. The Dwarf Crusader rolls lows, and the sentry hears him. As he opens his mouth to call out, our readied actions happen. I shoot the sentry, and the Rogue lightning bolts the sleeping people. After both our readied actions go off, I'm somehow hit by his readied action of Divine something-or-rather, which hits me for 30ish points. We then roll initiative, and the NPCs get ridiculous ones, like 22, 20, 20 for the first 3. Those rolls were for all sleepers; the first gets up and casts Orb of Cold on me (still standing 150 out in the darkness). The second gets up and draws his great sword, and the third gets up and casts an offensive spell on the Rogue, who is just outside the 50 foot fire light. [/QUOTE]
