Turning the tables, part2
Subject Turn
I'm paying attention. I've just been having some trouble lately... Noemon's going to take Surin back as soon as he can. I'm sorry I've been so flaky lately...

Once Harp has lured the creatures out into the open and starts talking to them, Fal will cast Sleep trying to center the spell between the two creatures.

Bel sends Ebon up ahead to watch for anyone sneaking up on them from the rear. He casts a spell to protect himself (Shield), and then draws his bow and puts an arrow on the string.
Bel will try to help Harp out by shooting anything that gets near him, without getting too close. If the creatures, whatever they are, get right up on Harp, Bel will draw his sword and move into melee, providing nothing is charging them.

Alatyr anxiously waits, shifting his weight on his feet. Knowing the Princess is alive, causes him to want to charge blindly into battle, swinging his weapon. All this planning is frustrating him, but he does recognize the reasoning behind it, and does agree.

Salix looks to be in the right position. He will keep watch for any ambush or other threat from the rear. Otherwise he will wait for something to start with the creatures Harp is flushing out.

Subject Map
Mark, I am having a tough time getting the whole map to print out on one page. Any suggestions?
I have tried to adjust it to fit, used legal sized paper, but my printer keeps spitting out only a portion of the map.
I will try sending it to a different computer with a different printer
Will send in my actions shortly.

Harp will move slowly down the path, hoping that Surin will be able to make up some ground off to the side. He notices the large outcropping by the large log on the road and says to himself "the bird was right, that seems like a great place for an ambush".
OOC: Mark, did you determine if my shield has a religious symbol on it? If not, then I will be carrying my shield, if it does, then it will be hanging on Stupid
IC: As he walks (acting at stumbling - stumbling check, right?), he continues to talk as loudly as possible about being chased by humans, wondering where the goblin troop might be, cursing as needed, basicaly trying to not look like a good person.
He will try to stay on the side of the road away from the log, at least as much as possible.

OOC: Everyone looks to be in the right position to me.
Ran draws his crossbow and moves forward at a pace to stay about 50' behind Harp.

After quickly discussing how they should handle the hidden creatures, the party takes their positions. Surin gets off his horse and hands the reins to Salix. ?You had better take good care of my horse, friend? Surin says smiling ?or I might use your owl as target practice.? He then moves off to the left of the road and tries to quietly move up the flank (Move silently 20+13=33, 7+13=20). He moves slowly but no one in the party can hear him as he moves through the underbrush.
Harp gets off his horse and starts leading it down the road. When he gets about 50 feet from the rest of the party, they start following behind at a slow walk. They are all ready for whatever the creatures are and are ready to respond at a moments notice. Harp starts slowly walking down the path on the right hand side of the road. He sees the huge tree that is laying along side the road. It looks to be about 6 feet high and about 45 feet long. As Harp gets to middle of the tree he hears a great roaring sound and two large ugly creatures jump on top of the log and with a loud grunt, each throw a javelin at Harp.(AC=19, rolls:4+1=5, miss, 15+1=16, miss)
Harp responds quickly to the attacks. One of the javelins flies well over his head. With a quick flick of his arm, he deflects the other javelin on his shield, Harp realizes that these are not orcs. They stand well over 11 feet tall. They are dressed in armor that looks to be made of boiled hide and the have clubs that look to be large tree trunks. Anglewing? he cries.
OODM: Ok I know you guys were trying to not be surprised and you really were not. Harp was not flat footed and that did save him from one javelin hit. Here is the initiative for this combat. (Alatyr,Ran,Surin,Salix,Harp,Ogre1,Fal,Bel,Cai, Ogre2).
OK guys lets rumble.
