Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gregor" data-source="post: 5599141" data-attributes="member: 11751">Surprise Round[GM]This round only takes place for Bannock, Hrimr, Diashan, Lars and the DM.  On the surprise round you may only take a standard and a free action.  If you're asleep, you'll need to act on the next round when your initiative comes up.  Also, the sounds of combat will wake you, but you begin your round prone.I've rolled everyone's initiative just so we have a working record when we go into Round 1.Some terrain details:  The campfire is a pretty small one, so it yields about a 20 ft radius of light all around it.  There is then shadowy illumination for yet another 20ft beyond that (shadows that things could hide in, but also be spotted).  Targets inside the shadowy illumination have concealment and attacks against such targets have a 20% miss chance.  Beyond the 40ft, it is pitch black.  At this point, unless you have low-light vision or darkvision, you are effectively blind to what is beyond the light.Also, the green pools are knee deep pools of water which count as difficult terrain unless you have a swim speed (takes 2 squares of movement to travel 1 square, no 5ft steps and cannot charge through unless you want to try and make an Acrobatics check to jump over it as part of the charge).  The shrubs will give concealment to any target inside them (20% miss chance).[/GM]********Surprise Round Initiative Order1 - Lars2 - Bannock3 - Hrimr4 - DM#3 - B 5 - Diashan6 - DM#1 - L7 - DM#2 - P****************Full Initiative Order (for Round 1 and the rest of combat)1 - Lars2 - Arnir3 - Bannock4 - Kirio5 - Hrimr6 - DM#3 - B7 - Diashan8 - Torrent9 - DM#1 - L10 - Alric11 - DM#2 - P********<a href="http://gregthedm.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/swamp-ambush-surprise-round.jpg" target="_blank">Swamp Ambush - Surprise Round</a></blockquote>
