[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 3282316, member: 13703"] The rest of the party was having a dicussion about what to do next at the time the attack happened so they weren't paying much attention to their surroundings, hence I didn't give them Spot checks. The Crocodile was drifting down the river with the current, rather than actually moving so I didn't think that he should have a penalty to his Hide check. The Fighter rolled pretty low which didn't really help. Even if the Fighter had spotted it beforehand I still don't think that it would have made a huge difference. The Croc had about a 50% chance to hit and then a 90%+ chance of winning the grapple. The Fighter (and maybe the rest of the group) might have got 1 shot in before the Croc. However they would have probably only attacked with weapons, not thinking that it was too much of a threat. The only reason the Sorcerer used a fireball was because he saw how much damage the Fighter was taking from the Croc. Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
