"You sir, are a very charismatic fisherwizard. I hope that the sun protects you in all your fishing. I have a fondness for the glades myself, the ocean and seas are far too... dark for myself."

Cid quites down a bit, then ponders to his friend Kaltide, "Yes, your logic is sound. We should walk right into the midst of this mess and ignore all possible tactfulness. We should also wear bright colors, so that our enemies can find us so we can slay them."
 


Reinert

"OK. I don't believe in being ambushed. I fight best when I'm the one doing the ambushing. Let's stop for a spell when we're about 15 minutes from the pass, & let me sneak ahead. You can chat about fishing for 10 minutes, then follow in your wagon. Looks like I'll be going alone. If I spot some uglies, I probably won't attack until you guys are close. I'd appreciate help if I start shouting."

Assuming they agree, Reinert will hop off the wagon when they're a little closer, & sneak forward. He'll pick the side of the road that seems to offer better concealment going forward, yet still be passable. He'll move at one half speed (10 foot/round) in order to use his max move silently & hide. Both of those are at a +5 modifier. He'll keep his comp bow in hand. He'll leave his backpack in the wagon, so he only brings his sword, quiver & dagger.
 

Reinert: You jump off the wagon and proceed into the forest. Creeping towards the pass. After 15 min. you spot the creatures sniffing the air and watching the road. You hear the wagon catching up with you. The creatures move towards the road.

Jarrad: You see the creatures lumbering out of the woods. You do not see Reinert.

Cid: You see the forest and trees and the sunlight pouring through them in pretty patterns.

Cattivo: You see the ground rolling by beneth the wagon.

Kaltide: You also see the creatures advancing on the wagon. You do not see Reinert.

Kaltide emits a high pitched shriek: "Some sort of savage, bestial demons! We're under attack!"

He jumps off of the wagon and sets his shortspear against a potential charge. (The others will have seen his 2 spare spears in the wagon, should they want to use them.)

Tearfully: "The must have already eaten that poor dwarf. I knew I shouldn't have let him wander off on his own..."
 

How far are they?

"Damn it Kelteid, I don't think they've seen us and now you've alerted them!" Jarrad draws his bow and sees what the creatures do. He doesn't fire yet, however.
 

Cid will react very patiently, waiting to see what's going on. If he continues to see nothing but sunlight, he will continue to stare pointlessly upwards. If he does see a need to react, he'll pick up his mace and yell at whatever has been encountered, "Hey, who goes there? What's going on?"
 

Alerted by Kaltide's shouts, I scramble over to the opposite side of the cart and throw a sleep spell at the beasts (Will DC 15).
 

Reinert

OOC: How many creatures can Reinert see? What do they look like? About how far away are they from him? From the wagon?

If Reinert is within 30 feet, & is thus able to do a sneak attack, he will fire his composite bow at the closest one. If they seem to be orcs or smaller, he'll fire one arrow each at two creatures. If they're bigger, he'll fire both arrows at one target.
Two shots at: +1BAB+2Dex+1feat-2(rapid shot)=+2(1d8)+3+1d6

If they're beyond 30 feet, he'll probably wait, & try to approach closer in order to sneak attack.
