SeluaMerrick raises his crossbow and looks around to the north, but doesn't spot his targets yet, having trouble figuring out where it was he heard the sound of flapping wings coming from.Everyone, roll initiatives!Selua, post your surprise-round partial action as well.  I don't know where in the initiative you'll act, but for reference, bonebat #1 will be diving at Tarven on initiative count 12, bonebat #2 will be diving at Merrick on initiative count 8, and bonebat #3 will be diving at Evanar on initiative count 8.  Just so ya know where they'll be at those points in the surprise round for purposes of figuring out what you're gonna do.The map, such as it is.....R R * 1 2 3 * X X* R R X X X X X *X X R R * X X X XX X * T R M X X E** s X X R R * X XX X * X * R R X aA X X F X X R R ** X X X X * X R RX X * S X X X * R* X X m * X X X *A = Abde'ragman, a = Abrielle, E = Evanar, F = Fayne, M = Merrick, m = mule, S = Selua, s = Storn, T = Tarven, 1-3 = bonebats, R = empty 5-foot space of road/trail, X = empty 5-foot space of light undergrowth, * = tree (half cover, effectively heavy undergrowth for moving through the space)[/sblock]</blockquote>
