Should have mentioned, Shiro and Aimi are a couple of hundred meters away... let's say, a 300m target you'd see at a shooting range.  ;) Just far away enough to be seen, and obviously human... but not close enough to tell anything about them. So about 1000 feet. This is a -100 spot penalty for anyone but Marise, who, with telescopic eye, would only suffer a -20. Now that I thin about it, even being able to tell if one of the figures was limping would be quite a stretch at this distance.<br/><br/>Granted, it's a DC 0 to determine who they are and what they are doing, as they are standing in plain sight, surrounded by desert. ::) +2 circumstance bonus because Aimi's throwing sand all over the place...<br/><br/>As an aside, I might be changing the system after this encounter. I will have to look through a few and figure out which one will work best.
