Randal
The group seems to go from point to some other point at the port you first say half seem to stop and stand motionless and hour later the other group returns and as a hole they walk to few miles to the last point, then come back, half stay and the group goes away again. They do nothing else but walk and never seem to talk or take any action that isn't caused by movement. You would guess warforged or undead by there methodical movement
Randal
This area looks like it was chosen because of the few areas to cross the mid point seems to be a small raise, a hill among flat land. Crossing may be possible but tricky,. You can see a few miles from where your at with a patrol on the hill they may have twice your rang of sight, you will need to stay low and move fast. Moving fast will make it easier to see. However if you take your time the whole of the patrol reaches the midpoint and starts back. It may have other patrols in the area that over lap or there may be blind spots. From here you can not tell.
Garroth follows Scouty to the rendevous point, moving as quietly as possible. He keeps his crossbow at the ready.
stealth check (1d20+12=17)
Nomric will follow Garroth.MKII in hand and keeping an eye out as well.

Jax Lays flat on his belly in the tall grass, raising an eye at the steadily lightening horizon. " It is nearly daylight." he says"...It'd be best for us to get some rest during the day and move again at dusk...in the best interest of not being seen and all." He suggests.
"We're somewhere around 1,000 feet from that patrol, so i propose we fall back a safe distance, find a securable position and get some rest for a few hours...We're no good if we're all running on empty besides scouty.." He declares in a hushed whisper.
Garroth stares at the patrol, his rage at the invaders of his land clearly visible on his face. Every ounce of his being is screaming to kill these men, and his hands tighten around his crossbow. But after a moment, the rage and hatred (mostly) leave him, and he relaxes a bit.
"Very well," he says to Jax. "You make a good case. We should rest, and then worry about overcoming this obstacle after dusk."
*We will need to secure the other side first*. so it would work like this...
A)Scouty and I creep forward together as a team,
B)wait 2 moves off the road in stealth until the group reaches us.
C)Wait til the patrol head west...
D)scouty and I cross quickly as the others begin to creep forward.
E)I go left, scouty goes right and we 'box' the far side. {1/2 move left and right, 2 moves in, half a move back towards center}
F)Scouty stops where we join (2 moves off the road),
G)I head back wave the party across...
H)I wait as the party heads to scouty.
I)I move back to them,
J)Scouty and I wait as the party creeps 1000 yeards away from the hill.
K)Then we join them....clear as mud?

Slowly and carefully Randall crept through the high grass near the hill and road they had to cross, nearby his comrade Scouty did the same. He kept an eye on the gathering of figures on the hill waiting for them to turn west...
He stepped on a twig, and paused unsure if hed been heard...softly cuursing to himself and readying the MKII.....
*if he hadnt been heard then he wanted to wait just off the road by about 12 seconds until the group joined him...* quiet as can be sat in the high grass, not sure if hed been heard or not....The others joined him and if they hadnt been spotted he wanted to...
Cross the road as one with Scouty by his side once the patrol turned off the hill and started west... His feet striking the hardpacked trail much harder than he wanted until he quickly crossed the road and paused just long enough for an acknowledgement from Scouty, then if he didnt end up in a firefight, he wanted to...
Turn left moving as quick as he could in a stealthy crouch through the high grass about 2 paces off the road....paralleling the road for about a 3 count He still felt he was making far too much noise moving through the brush until he felt he could turn if he hadnt been spotted he wanted to...
then quick like a fox he turned right making his way directly in for a 6 count, then he turned back into the box looking for Scouty quickly..once found he motioned for Scouty to drop and watch, then made a straight line back to the road....the whole box taking under 15 seconds Once back to road..if he hadnt been spotted and now faced a fight...he wanted to
Wait as the others crossed the road at his urgings...as one they came while he stood watch....he crouched watching back towards the hill and the otherside where the patrol would be......he waited as the others headed across the 60 feet to where Scouty kept watch.....if there was no alert I wanted to...
head back to join them and then begin the trek out of the danger area... Joining the others we left quickly...
Stealth checks for Garroth as he follows the plan laid out by Randall
Stealth checks (1d20+12=22, 1d20+12=31)
Finally with his senses on full alert, Garroth is very quiet as he proceeds.
Jax moves steadily with the group, following Randall's plan, at least until the 4 gaurds turn. Jax shook his head and clinched his Crossbow a bit tighter, ready for anything.
If using action points...Nomric will hunch down and quietly cast personal weapon aug.(lvl1 infusion)undead bane(+2 to hit n dmg and +2d6 dmg)on his MKII using 1 action point.
If not...Nomric will hunker down and search for 3 rocks perception/search for 3 rocks (1d20+6=10).
Making the assumption that these are undead, Garroth quietly shakes off his pack and draws his dagger. He then crouches down in the grass and waits for the patrol.
You can see the emery as they near. Four skeletons dressed in breast plate. Two in front carry dual scimitars as the two in the rear crossbows. They seem to scan the field with intelligence as there glowing read eyes seem to find you. Crossbows come up and the two in front ready to charge forward time for stealth is at an end

Against what appear to be skeletal undead, Garroth's preference is to engage them in melee, as his fists and feet will be far more effective than his other weapons. He will signal his intentions to his teammates: "Will hold action until you've all fired or moved up. Then will engage foes in hand-to-hand combat."
Realizing they had been spotted, Randal whispers to Scouty "We need to lure them into a kill zone, follow my lead..." guaging the distance quickly and how fast they can move, Randal moves away from the hill, parrallel to the road , he turns and fires his crossbow at one of the Skeletons bearing a crossbow, He watched as his aim was true and the bolt sped from the MKII straight towards the heavily Armored Skeleton....knowing, this wasnt the best weapon to use, but he wanted to bait them closer...
Jax Materializes his Warhammer formed Mindblade, the psychic energy materializing into his hand from pure force of will.
"What'ya say we bring the fight to em Garroth?"
With that, Jax charges and attacks the first skeloton he reaches with a smile about his face.attack 1d20+7=26

Randal's bolt digs into the front right undead seeming to have little effect as jax and gorrath charge the other one. Jax's energy hammer seems to hit hard as flacks and bone rip from the decaying skeleton. Gorrath steps up but the skeleton is far more nimble then it seems and easy turns aside his blow. Scouty fires her crossbow only to have it jam
The skeletons attack back at Jax and gorrath both easily avoiding the four scimitars the sliced at them. The crossbowmen at the rear take aim and fire a full volley at the two evading squad members. Each is laced with pain as bolts drives into their flesh
Nomric will move to M22 and then fire at the skelly in H13.

Garroth reels from the pain of the crossbow bolt. "ARRRGGHH!!" He returns the favor with a flurry of blows against the nearest skeleton.
Flurry of Blows (1d20+4=20, 1d20+4=23)
