Aubrey, the point behind Rehil's question is to get a description of the artifact that made the place sacred. At least I presume it's an artifact because it's been moved.
"There should be a stone, tall and slim, dark grey with sharp edges and covered in runes no one could read. It has always been here - this is where the Finback and the River Serpent tribes used to meet before we went to war."
Perception check results. If you got 10 or more:
Spoiler:
You spot a discarded shovel in the hole. Nothing special about it - probably standard Cannith manufacture. You also notice some huge footprints, turned to deep pools in the mud by the rain. They are oddly rectangular, quite unlike dinosaur footprints.
If you get 15 or more, you also notice:
Spoiler:
You also spot some other footprints - about human-sized. Some look like bootprints, others are human-like but with three big toes instead of the normal five.
If you get 22 or more, you also notice:
Spoiler:
There is a slight movement in the underbrush at the edge of the clearing - a poisondusk is taking aim with its bow.
You are not surprised.
If you got the DC 10 Perception check, try a DC 15 Survival or (Knowledge) Arcana check (+5 if you are a warforged):
Spoiler:
The big square footprints look a lot like those of an warforged titan.
If you got the DC 15 Perception check, try another DC 15 Survival or Knowledge (Arcana) check (+10 if you are a warforged):
Spoiler:
The three-toed foot prints are those of warforged.
A warcry comes up from the poisondusks' hiding place.
Anyone who failed the DC 22 Perception check above is surprised. Please roll initiatives (and Perceptions for Ashsar and Vaard too to see if they are surprised).
Wultram was too busy looking at the scene to notice the aprouching enemy. "Warforged..." Then Rehil's warning snaps him back from his thoughts altough a tad too late. Figure out the mystery later now concentrate on staying alive.
In short. Neither Wultram or the Lizardfolk act on the surprise round and Inits are Wultram 2(PANTS!), Vaard 18 and Ashshar 9
The black is the hole where the stone used to be - it's a pit which will provide some cover, but it's also muddy and slippery. The brown is the mud - difficult terrain. The light green is less churned-up terrain, and you can move normally. The dark green is the edge of the jungle - difficult terrain again.
You have entered by the path to the right side of the map - you will be on the light green somewhere from U to Z. You will note the other path going from the top-left of the map, and the big muddy path of devastation on the bottom-left.
Please place yourselves, and let the violence commence!
No it doesn't - they are using longbows (albeit, Small ones) so I assumed they were OK and didn't work out the range, but on reflection I think you are probably right - deduct 2 from the attack rolls of the poisondusks above for range if you reckon it is too long (I can't see the map at work so can't be definitive).

By my count in the surprise round, Wultram and Rehil are just outside close range. Cole and Nalverren are inside the first range increment. Rehil's move will leave him just inside the first range increment for the PD1's Round 1 attack.
HP 95/95 Temp 0 :: AC 24 CMD 24 :: Fort +10 Ref +5 Will +8 :: Conditions: none
While technically a hit, Cole has DR 2/adamantine. I’m assuming these guys aren’t firing adamantine arrows, but let me know if i’m incorrect.
The small arrow embeds itself in Cole’s side but fails to penetrate the armor. He brushes it away like one of the ridiculously-sized insects that infest this jungle as he lumbers cautiously forward.

Will and Wultram are up to finish the round, then Rehil to start the next.
Portforged is the entangle targetted or does it cover an area? If an area can you give me rough boundaries. Rehil wants to close the range but doesn't want to get snared.
Rehil, the entangle is an area effect. I've actually put it on the map but perhaps it isn't all that clear - probably because there's a big gap in the middle due to the mud. The funny-coloured bits in the top-left of the map are the entangling sections, and the poisondusks marked in red are the one entangled.

The arrow hits home before Wultram is even starting to grasp they are under attack. A grunt of pain escapes the mans lisp as he snaps the shaft of the arrow so he can fight. His anger clearly shows at his response to Cole. "Might not have come to, but now I want to see their heads on spikes. You see if they want to have a chat during tea."
The mage starts moving closer, cricling the muddies area, while drawing an arrow from his quiver. He then stops and takes careful aim and lets his arrow fly hoping to return the favor to the poisondusk that shot him.
Will and James scramble across the mud to take the fight to the poisondusks. Will swings but ensnaring vines put him off his target.
Wultram takes carful aim but the camoflage on the poisondusks makes them tricky to hit even as they are grabbed by Portforged's power.
Will needs to make a save as well to avoide getting entangled. For reference, here is the Entangled condition below:
Entanged:
Spoiler:
The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.
