[QUOTE="Imperialus, post: 6484003, member: 893"] [ooc]Well technically speaking the only one that has the ability to move silently is Klyman, who did fail his roll (I roll 'off camera' for him any time there is an encounter) also these Kobolds are positioned as guards, whereas the other's you've encountered so far have been wandering around what they assumed to be relatively safe territory hence your ability to surprise them with greater ease. I didnt' roll for surprise for either party. You were expecting trouble on account of the voices, and they were alert on account of the number of dead and missing Kobolds from yesterday and the previous incursion by Typhon's Fists, but then they won initiative. Because of the wonky way initiative works in D&D though and our lack of a physical battlemat you weren't able to take any action to prevent the engagement to prevent them shooting at you. In situations like this I generally rule that everyone in the party is in the combat area, otherwise we'd end up with too many situations where someone like Klyman is the only available target and ends up getting pincushioned by a half dozen arrows and then we'd either have a dead thief, or a thief who from that point on refuses to take point and scout ahead both of which are suboptimal.[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
