[QUOTE="Shazman, post: 2225110, member: 13509"] I have planned for an assassain to ambush the characters next session in my campaign. The characters are in the lair of a dragon they recently defeated. While, they are looting and searching the lair, the assassain will try to get the drop (quite literally) on the druid of the party since he perceives her to be the most dangerous. He wants to take her out with a poisoned death attack, and then signal others waiting outside the lair to come in a start wailing on the party. Here is the plan. 1) Directly outside the lair cast invisibility, fox's cunning,and spider climb. 2) Move into the lair and climb up the walls while moving silently until directly above the druid. 3) Observe the druid for two rounds 4) Cast true strike 5) Drop down on druid via ring of featherfall 6) Full power attack when he reaches the druid as his surprise round action. I doubt this will work because the druid has crazy spot and listen skills, and one of the PC's has scent because he has contracted lycanthropy. While feather falling the assassain wouldn't make any noise so he wouldn't ahve to move silently at this point, right? Would the druid not get a chance to notice the invisible assassain (spot DC 20) before the attack occurs, or would the extenuating circumstances preclude said spot check? How would you guys handle this? [/QUOTE]
