There are archers on the roof. You had better believe these guys are at 90% cover with a readied action to shoot off an arrow. If just makes sense, it would be illogical for these guys to be standing in the open without an arrow nocked.The dungeon with the BBEG on the third level. He doesn't hear the fighting until the PCs are almost on top of him since they didn't leave anyone alive.This BBEG has many options:1) Hide and or Run2) Go to the PCs3) Ready an action for when the PCs get there4) Buff Himself up.My guy is probably going to hide first, then buff himself up, then if there is time left ready an action. This means he probably needs 6 - 10 rounds before he gets around to readying an action so he probably won't have one ready.</blockquote>
