OOC: Party's average initiative is<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">15 (math in spoiler)</div><div class="spoiler_body">18+7+25+6+16+10+22 = 104 / 7 = 14,8 = 15</div></div>, mercenaries rolled 14 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=140230) and enemies rolled 12 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=140231), so party acts before everyone. So Rishi can post both her surprise action and regular action in one post. Once her post is done then I post response to her action (enemies acting on surprise round) and then everyone can post.<br/><br/><em>Surprise Round</em><br/><br/>Rishi stood in watch and saw small creatures in shadow, alarmed by spotting shine of metal, steel, on said shadows alarmed her that they are about to be attacked! On shout of her alarm the rest camp stirs wake but before rest of her companions can scramble up she has to face the threat of figures alone. They rush forward and Rishi gets good look on them in campfire; there are six figures storming into camp, they stand four feet tall and wear shadowy leather armor mixed with some foliage sticking in them. They weared a crimson painted goblin masks made from polished wood, dark eyes peeking through the masks while carrying jagged wicked daggers each hand. On charge the creatures are releasing a loud screeching howl.<br/><br/>Immediately in forty feet ahead of her are four of them, coming from direction of main camp. However there is two coming from woods side as well where closest to that side is Myranda (and Bear). So far as Rishi can tell there's more of them in area, charging and screeching across the camp.
