They hide, effectively gaining total concealment. Dunathar stays hidden in the grass and raises his crossbow, readying a shot at the robed rider if they appear hostile.Alyssa (autopilot) and Adromon follow Devan to the side.  Reaching cover, Adromon dismounts from Narthail.Zanock remains mounted and draws his falchion, readying himself for whatever comes.Manzanita spurs Busephelous and follows the others to the side, finding cover behind the sloping ground, and dismounts.  Mirena follows, and brings Dunathar’s horse Stupid with her.The horsemen approach at a gallop, coming within twenty feet of Dunathar, but failing to spot him.  The horsemen pull up as they see Zanock, mounted with falchion drawn.  They seem momentarily unsure what to do upon seeing the lone orc.  Then one of the humans in front spots Devan peering down at them!  He points at the human archer, shouting “Ambush!”  The riders spur their horses to attack, some heading towards Zanock, the rest heading towards Devan.Zanock is 100 feet southeast of the riders, with Bert and Rowyn hidden in the grass nearby.  Dunathar is right by the riders, just twenty feet off to the side.  The rest of the party is 80 feet from the riders, and about 50 feet from Zanock.--Round 1--As the horsemen charge, Dunathar takes his readied shot at the robed human, hitting him solidly [with sneak attack damage!].  The robed human goes down.  The rest of the horsemen spot Dunathar, who finds himself suddenly alone, with hostile humans and half-orcs within striking distance.Dunathar, Zanock and Devan have been spotted, and see what has happened.  The rest are hidden and can't see, though they can hear.InitiativeDunathar--pause--DevanBertHalf-orc horsemen (3)RowynAlyssaHuman in robes - downAdromonZanockManzanitaHalf-orc in scalemailHuman horsemen (2)Human in scalemailMirenaDunathar notices that several of the riders are covered in blood.</blockquote>
