By the way, if I call for a group check like this, I think I'll give everyone about a day to post their rolls and reactions and then I'll roll for anyone that hasn't yet, to keep things moving.<br/><br/>Also, for fights, I'm going to have all monsters share the same initiative.  For the first round, anyone that beats the monsters acts in whatever order they want, then the monsters all go, and then everyone in the party acts, and then the monsters again, etc.  I'll just do an average of the monster rolls, rounded down but they win ties.<br/><br/>Edit: Lyra and anyone else that gets a 15 or higher notices something hiding in the woods on the left side of the road.  Anyone with a 17 or higher also notices something hiding on the right side.
