Westcrown and Down (Inactive)

Coal is a much better option than butter... and hiding in the bushes sounds safe enough.

She quickly rubs the coal on her face and follows Janiven outside, Rickard quick on her heels.

When Ready

The group makes their way northwest on Rack road riding for about an hour when they come to the spot Janiven indicated.

MAP

"We are here. Our group will create a distraction over there." She points past the bridge down the road at a large rock (Not indicated on map/Past maps range). "The rest of you prepare yourself's, and remember timing is everything."

Janiven slaps the side of her horse.
"Good Luck everyone"
She raises her hands in the air and yells
"FOR ARAEL AND FOR WESTCROWN" as she scurry down the road.

Post where you would like your Characters to be on the map and what readied actions, if any you would like to take.

"Don't attack until I have them in position."

Will stand at M18, to hail them when they approach and try to discuss the bandits with them

Also remember, that you won't be able to draw a weapon during the first action, so make sure it is already drawn.

Ravishar You are confusing me. Are we still sticking to Janiven's Plan or Creating a New One?

Janiven's Plan
There will be 10 Hellkinght Armiger's + There Leader Shauwn, a Stronger Hellkinght arriving Shortly. 6 of the Armigers ride with Shauwn on the Carriage while 4 ride on horseback. Janiven suggests (and is acting upon) that she and the other members of the group (NPC's) create a distraction (pose as bandits ..etc) down the road. Most likely they will send the four men on horseback ahead to investigate leaving the rest of the group (PC's) a perfect time to ambush the carriage.

Are you suggesting to jump out and try to negotiate with the hellknights after they have been distracted (just the carriage) or skip this plan altogether and start a new one, and address the hellknights when they are together as a full group?

Note: I meant a surprise action, not a redialed action, but everyone else seemed to understand this as well, so no need for edits. Also, I assumed these actions would happen after the distraction down the road, and the carriage was alone for ambush.

I thought everyone already agreed to this in game, if not please let me know how you would like to handle the situation.
[/ooc]

That is the plan Fizzy agreed to. We are dressed like bandits this is nota negotiation time

Ok, I had partially misunderstood the plan. What I had proposed was added onto the plan because I had thought we were going to need slightly more. So ignore all that.

Also, Ravishar won't want to have his shield on, since it has the symbol of Iomedae on it, and he won't want this associated with his church.

Ok, hiding at Z28. Have sword drawn and will charge during surprise round.

Stealth 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (16) - 4 = 12

our stealth is BALLS!

After a short while the Hellknights arrive on the road. Just as Janiven stated, there is a carriage with a large crossbow mounted on top, with about 6 Hellknights, hanging on plus there leader, Shauwn, as well as the four scouts on Horseback. When the Hellknights come to the bridge they stop, seeing the distraction ahead of them (Janiven made herself to look like bandits, ready to "ambush" The Order of The rack troops). They talk among themselves, not noticing the hiding party members, before sending their scouts ahead to investigate. When the scouts barely get out of site, Janiven and the other rebel's jump out, throwing caltrops down tripping the horses. Shauwn yells "S$+*!! Turn this buggy around!!" but it is already to late.....

Edit: The Hellkinght "Captain" Is named Shanwen , not Shauwn. Ooops =D

Note: I have realized that some of the surprise actions do not make sense, nor do not have targets, due to my premature asking for said actions. Due to this abandoned all prior actions (You will still start in same location as noted on map). The Party will still receive a surprise round. You may use the same action or state another one.

--Surpise Round--
