It is a warm summer evening. Crickets argue with the distant rumble of the sea against the cliffs of Sandpoint. It is late, as Korihor and Konghruul enter town through the North gate of the Lost Coast Road, returning from a camping trip.
The streets are empty, as the village is asleep. You pass a city watchman posted at the gate, who nods at you.
Sense motive check.
DM crunch:
DC 12 to notice the watchmen scowl at Konghruul as he passes.
"The Sandpoint devil. It exists, I swear." Konghruul throws the apple core away. "It's going to prey upon someone in this village soon, I can feel it." He sneers. "But not me."
"We've been out to the devil's platter half-a-dozen times, Konghruul. We've never seen a goblin, let alone the devil, or it's pit. I don't think any of them exist, to tell you the truth."
"I don't know. I think it's all just rubbish. All those stories my...mother told me growing up. The Sandpoint devil appears when there is a shipwreck, obey your mother or you'll become an attic whisperer, a man from Riddleport will never speak the truth." She sighs, and kicks a stone in the road. "I'm just tired of it."
A warforged burts out of the hole in the wall. It's wooden frame glitters with woven in metal. Burns into the wood make a tattoo across it's plating. It carries a heavy battleaxe.
"Little forged, I will use you for tooth-picks."
Demon, Korihor and Konghruul:
The warforged moves 10 ft. through difficult terrain, provoking an AoO from Demon.
Korihor's readied action, if she desires, then the AoO, then the attack.
Demon's metal-plated elbow slams into the wood and mithral jaw of his opponent.
The warforged slams into Demon, but Demon catches the warforged's shoulders, absorbing most of the momentum of the slam. "Brought your breather friends, did you?" hisses the burned warforged.
Crunch:
The warforged takes 3 points of damage from Demon, then attacks him with a slam 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 for 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 damage.
Surprise round summary: Demon - Had one attack of opportunity for 3 points of damage, and an attack for 2 points of damage, both against the warforged, and took a 5 ft. step.
Korihor - Moved 10 ft., and cast magic missile dealing 5 points of damage to the warforged.
Konghruul - Moved 15 ft., and drew his dagger.
Warforged - Missed an attack against Demon, and took 10 points of damage. Raged for 1st round.
"I've heard tell that the Lord of Blades is looking for your tin hide." the warforged hisses as he swings his axe around, stepping away from the building. "Think Cutter'll be the one to take you to him."
Round 1 summary Konghruul stepped in to backstab Cutter, but was slammed in the throat by Cutter's battle axe handle, and lost all actions next round.
Korihor blasted Cutter with another Magic missile.
Cutter slashed Demon, but missed.
And Demon punched Cutter's arm, but did not injure him.

11 Cutter 3rd round of rage

Korihor moves close to Konghruul as he gasps for air. "জাদু ক্ষেপণাস্ত্র." For a third time her voice rings out, and a blast of light slams into Cutter. "Konghruul, are you alright?"
Crunch:
Korihor moves 10 ft. closer to Konghruul. She attacks Cutter with Magic missile for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 force damage.
