Damn disobedient halfling. Gonna get us all killed now. ;)

Actually, the fireworks only blind over a limited area, too, right? The difference might be if you are assuming goblins too far away to be blinded will run toward the fireworks. I think in our case it is just as likely they will flee away from the fireworks. I might be better in the long run, if either is necessary, to use the smokescreen unless the whole camp is already after us.

I am going out of town today, at noon, and will not be back until late Sunday. I do not know if I will get anything out before I leave. I might try and resolve Surin's little conflict.
See you all Monday.

Subject The rescue
Cursing himself for pushing his luck, Surin grabs the throwing axe at his belt, cocks it behind his head and throws it through the hole in the bottom of the platform. (AC14, 11+11=22, hit, Damage 4) This time he gets a solid hit and the axe buries itself in the goblins forehead. The goblin starts to topple over and Surin has to rush to grab him before he falls on the tents below. His breath coming in gasps, the halfling takes a few minutes to calm himself. He then ties the goblin into place just like he did the other three and removes his axe and his throwing knife.
Looking over the edge of the wall he decides to try something. He quickly ties the rope to one of the tree trunks and tosses the other end over and down.(Use rope, DC10, 17+12=29, success) He then waves his hands over his head three times and sees a dark shape high up in one of the trees take flight. Surin then climbs over the wall and lowers himself down. He has to drop the last 5 feet but that is no problem. He starts moving towards where the party was hiding. He meets up with them about 200 feet from the compound. ?I think we may want to change our plans a bit? he tells Ran as he walks up.
OODM: Jake, if you and Randy and anyone else want to take it from here you can.

Yeah, I was assuming they'd run toward them, but you have a good point.
