If you are not Hidden, but otherwise unseen, your general position is known (i.e. your space in combat). It makes you harder to be targeted (generally Disadvantage), but not impossible (depending on the effect - many spells require you to see the target).To use your example, I'd say that the party would know SOMETHING is there, but not what (unless a specific sound or smell gives it away). Realize the reverse is true: if the party is not actively hiding, then the monsters would know the party is there too (assuming the obscurement was between both).</blockquote>
