But, because it hadn't moved, I'm surprised?  Seriously?  Kinda the same thing about monsters around a corner.  Sure, if I'm just walking in an area where I am not being careful at all, then a monster around the corner is probably going to surprise me.  But, I'm in a highly dangerous area, being careful, looking all around, and I come to a corner and carefully look around the corner, ready for danger and BAM! I'm surprised by the three orcs around the corner?Seriously?  This is how you would rule this?</blockquote>
