OOC:<br/>Apparently people don't see it if I post it in the other thread, so,<span style="font-weight: bold">to everyone except Mara, Althea and Miles</span>:<br/><br/>The birds, as well as those three, are 500ft (~150m) away from you, and out of sight. Unless you hear Althea's shout (which will likely require a Perception roll), or someone around you hears it and tells you, you won't be aware of the fight at all. Even if you do become aware of the shout, you will need at least 4 rounds to reach Althea and the others (4 rounds running at 4x30ft = 480ft), so you can act in the 5th round at the earliest. And obviously, before you arrive at the scene, you won't know which and how many enemies there are. There is also no need to roll initiative yet - you are not in combat (though you can of course roll for the eventuality that you hear the shout and come over in time).
