Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

[Yttermayn]

Aohdan was too surprised by the happy appearance of Muzdum to get too concerned with the approaching party. (Init = 6) Yet, something about them put him on edge, and his gaze lifts from his friend while the smile on his face turns to a look of concern.

OOC: I am assuming the surprise round is in our favor? If so, then I take the following move equivalent action:
Aohdan turns to face the approaching group, and draws his sword.
OOC: Then his action:
With his other hand, he draws a javelin from its container and readies it for a throw.
OOC: And as a free action:
Aohdan thought quickly to alert his companions. "Companions! Hostile riders!" he shouted.

OOC: Is this format OK? Too confusing? Any suggestions?

OOC: Aohdan, Johen and the bad guys are acting in the surprise round. Refrain from declaring actions until I start the round. The bad guys are on foot.

Hmmm, OK. Don't know where I got the idea they were riders... I'll edit the post to reduce confusion.

Despite his alarm Johen merely tries to understand what the threat might be.
The workers seem to walk strangely but why should Highflyer get that alarmed??
So he stands there watching over the workers and trying to spot whether they're armed or
threatening, or whether there is another threat further back.
His grip on his short spear tightens a bit though.

[sblock=OOC]
Spot. What's the distance between the workers and us?

spot (1d20+7=19)

OOC: Initiative count 10.

As the dust settles, Johen notes the jerky, unnatural movements of the quarrymen. There's something wrong with them. As the four quarry workers approach out of the dust, it finally dawns on Johen just what is wrong with them...they're already dead. The quarry workers approach to within 10 feet of the group before Aohdan is able to get a good look at them.

OOC: Next in the initiative: Aohdan. The quarry workers are 10 feet away. You can take a single standard action or move action in the surprise round.

Estelle, William, Alaric, Corath, Muzdum, Valen, and Norali finally notice the approaching quarry workers. OOC: Everyone else can roll initiative now, you'll get to act next round. In the meantime, everyone is flat-footed.

"What's wrong with them?" William turns and looks strangely at the approaching figures.

"Uh? They seem fine already. I mean, for walking corpses" the dwarf says as he draw his warhammer

William looked again.. they did seem to be moving rather.. oddly.
[sblock=ooc]
do either Knowledge: Religion +5 or Sense Motive +5 give any insight into wether these are, in fact, undead?

"M'anam!" Aohdan exclaimed when he finally saw what was approaching. "Corpses!" Aohdan draws his longsword for his action and waits for them to close.
OOC: The two words were a free action, btw. AC=17, HP=10
