[QUOTE="ph0rk, post: 1532859, member: 16266"] That ends it right there. Your scout(s) sprung the ambush rather than avoiding it. Had they chosen to flee to the party during the surprise round, screaming at the top of their lungs, things may have gone differently. How many hit points did the ranger and mink have? Using standard dmg average per die rules and a 16 for con, i'd say they both should have had around 24.... a pair of smacks each from the 2-hand and probably power attacking orcs downing them isn't that surprising. (what, the orcs had a str of at least 18 i'd guess, thats 1d12+6 per axe, plus magic damage, and the crit would have been at least 3d12+18, almost certain to take one of them out). You got jumped. The time to flee would have been near the beginning of the encounter. As for CR, assuming each orc was cr5, that was probably an encounter of level 9+, especially considering the ambush. The bad tactics just made it sting a little more :) [/QUOTE]
