I would say no, we're losing horses that way...and we may need them

Since we're aware of "the ambush" we don't need to worry too much. We're ready. I would try diplomacy - or intimidation - rather than fighting. (but obviously, not Maur - he would just kill them all and be done with it)

Yeah, true. My feeling is our horses are going to die in the undead lands anyways and thought it might be better not to take them...but I should have thought of that back at the oasis.

Do we have someone who's good at diplomacy/intimidation?

I just thought of another fast travel ability: summon monster: hippogriff
So I have 2 flys, 1 polymorph and 1 summon monster. We will keep it in mind for later. Hippogriffs are way faster than griffons. 100 foot fly speed but slightly squishier with only half the HP.

Next level I'm taking reduce person and teleport. Between reduce person and polymorph, I think I can teleport the entire party. (Edit: Nope, never mind. Only 5 people max, regardless how small they are.) I'm not used to playing evokers. They don't have quite the utility as other mages

I have diplomacy 12 and intimidate 10 - not a diplomancer, but I can function as a negotiator so that Knighfall doesn't negotiate with himself via bard

Phar can aid you. His diplomacy is +11 but his Intimidate is only +1.

I've let the characters on their horses except for Aureus, who got down from her mount.

Which direction are we travelling?

What do they have for ranged weapons?

Initiative: 1D20+4 = [6]+4 = 10
I always seem to roll poorly for initiative.

OOC: Sorry about that, my impression was that that one was the one to try and negotiate with. It would make no sense to attack without trying to talk if we're trying diplomacy. Lets just mow them down and move on.

Lol no worries. Just making an excuse for low I initiative

Rolling initiative for the bad guys...

Initiative - Unknown Foes (ambushers): 1D20+5 = [3]+5 = 8 (two to east)
1D20+5 = [10]+5 = 15 (three to southeast)
1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19 (two to south)
1D20+5 = [11]+5 = 16 (two to south-southwest)
1D20+5 = [5]+5 = 10 (one to west)

@Knightfall just a request:

I’m not sure how much extra work it is but, when you post the map, could you post it in a spoiler tag in the IC thread?

Often times I’m reading the IC thread and want to refer to the map but then have to find it and open a separate tab.

I’ve been using the bookmark feature to track the map and the initiative order but it would be so handy to have it in the IC thread. I find it gets buried very quickly in the OOC thread.

If it’s too much work, no worries.
