I've recently had a rules debate with some of my players regarding the party being prepared for an ambush.
The situation is this: the party, travellign through a dungeon, is beset by ghost wizards flitting out of the walls to attack. The first time, the party was caught unawares, and the ghosts got a surprise round as normal. The party took heavy damage and used dimension door to retreat.
Now they've gone back, expecting the ghosts to come out of the walls again, which they did. Should the ghosts get a surprise round? The party's expecting them to come, but doesn't know when or from where.
