The group is in place, Mari & Elurin take to the trees and watch as a quartet of humans walking, no...strutting up the road. It is plain they are not soldiers from their haphazard way of walking. They do not seem to be joking loudly or singing as they advance.
They are so engrossed in their movements that they fail to notice the large koala and Mari hiding in the tree to their right. They saunter to the fort and are aghast to find the door shut. They stop, and the front three look behind to a cloaked man with a bow strung across his back. They carry daggers and a spear. He looks at the door and a wicked grin spreads across his face.
"Hey Oleg! You got about five seconds to open this door or we'll start tossing in some fire to speed your asses up!" he shouts, pulling out a vial and chuckling as his associates do the same.

The vials are alchemist's fire, a dangerous, sticky, adhesive substance that ignites when exposed to air. [/sblock]

Ok, so you have the element of surprise, despite the poor stealth rolls. Bonus points for anyone who spots the Easter Egg in the above post
Surprise Round:
Limited Action: If you get to act in the surprise round, you can take a standard action, a move action, or a minor action. You can also take free actions, but you can’t spend action points. After every nonsurprised combatant has acted, the surprise round ends, and you can act normally in subsequent rounds.
