Verrick quickly scrambles up one of the near by trees... bark and limbs snap off quit easily, but the scent of rot and wet decay is very strong and almost causes him to gag a couple of times. White, sickly mushrooms and other fungus cling to the tree and make the tree almost moist to his touch… it is not a pleasant feeling.
When Verrick gets to about 30 ft and can see into the courtyard it looks old and decrepit… and abandoned. No people or animals or big wagon can be seen. The arrow slits and windows that he can see though on the wall and by the main tower are dark pit, no sighs of life or actively can be seen within them. There does appear to be a large stable or something around one of the corners of the fort that Verrick can’t see into that might hold the wagon. Looking toward the gatehouse he can see that the gate is wide open. Also over on the north side of the fort, part of the wall appears to have collapsed and is just a pile of stone.
Yet, Verrick cannot get over the feeling of foreboding that he gets looking into the courtyard… it seems as if something very cold is waiting for him there, waiting and watching him.

Could this be some sort of illusion?
Verrick climbs down carefully. "I can see no one and no sign of the wagon within. This place really feels cold and forbidding. I can't shake the feeling that I was watched. I guess we should approach carefully and venture in."

[occ]Assuming that the group is moving towards the front gate...[/occ]
The group start moving towards the main gate... no sounds can be heard within anywhere around them. As they are almost to the front gate...
secret rolls for the group
...when Lorien catches the flash of light off metal deep in the wood. Suddenly he see four or five huge dire hyenas with Gnoll riders. Two of the Gnolls are readying bows to fire while another two or three (hard to tell as the moving quickly though the trees, in and out of cover) have javelins out and charging towards the group… it takes Lorien a split second to realizes that they are making NO noise as the race through the trees towards the group. Suddenly one of the Gnolls and dire Hyenas breaks out a bit farther away from the others and it insane laugher and baying snaps into the existence… Verrick and Refleev are turn quickly towards the attack while the rest of the group is shocked with surprise!
Lorien, Verrick, and Refleev can roll initiative for the surprise… the rest are surprised… Make your initiative rolls, and any attack rolls that you are going to make. Remember this is the surprise round, partial action only
