[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6543862, member: 413"] That's fine. Like I said, it's how I do it and given the vagaries of the rules (which I think are intentional) every table will be a bit different. That first example was definitely not an ambush scenario. It was a running fight between two individuals. Here is an example from my table: the party was deep in the wilderness on a time crunch. I pre roll random encounters because often it is fun when multiple encounters influence eachother. I rolled a griffn encounter and an ettin encounter to occur while the party camped. I decided the griffns were most likely after the party's horses. They attcked and killed one horse before the party could react scattering the other horses. So now the party had to spend time searching for their mounts. Without them they would not arrive to their destination in time. So they split up into three groups of two...two groups searching one group remaining at camp. With the ettins in the area I decided it was a kind of contest.. PCs finding horses vs ettins finding PCs. One group had managed to fnd two horses when the other first found the ettins who had found a horse. They decided to attack the ettins and kite and try to make their way back to the camp hoping their companions would hear and help them. It was a tricky situation for them shooting, moving, hiding for about 4 rounds before the heavier fighters and casters could help them. [/QUOTE]
