Skai spots a dust pattern near the far side of the oasis that indicates a creature burrowed beneath the sand!
Meanwhile, Dario catches the glint of spear tips and can make out three creatures lying in wait to set an ambush for whoever might come to the oasis!
Fiata Oe

Perception: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 2 = 26
Fiata peers into the distance for trouble. "Unfortunately, they are beyond the range of my spells. We need to get closer or draw them out."
Skai Calandrella
|
"I can send in a few conjured critters if you like to disrupt the trap. Might give us some insight as to how many and what their formation is. Or we could use Kenji's playbook and charge right in..."
"What do you think? Air elemental? Rats? Eagles are nice. Or how about a thundercloud? I might need to be closer to control that, though."
Penthesilea Aelyosan
|
"They might not show themselves just for rats... I'd go with the elemental."
Perception: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15 +2 v. surprise
Professor Dario Westone
|
"I do think an elemental would be a good start to ruining their day." Dario agrees. He draws his scimitar, ready to counter-ambush the brigands.
Skai Calandrella
|
"Very well, let's ruin someone's day!"
Skai takes no more than 5-6 seconds muttering the incantation needed, and a small whirlwind of dust appears 30 feet from their current location, tward the supposed ambush. "Go, my friend, and stir up some dust mites..." she whispers.
The air elemental starts looking for ambushers.
I only have him for 6 rounds, but he has a fly speed of 100' so he should be able to cause some trouble.

So you have one round when the air elemental moves before the Gnolls act (not a surprise round a full round), but then the gnolls are not surprised and once they spot the ele they will go
Kenji Haru

I assume that we are still on camels? In any case Kenji double moves forward. Could you GM move him on the map depending on his speed 20ft on foot or the speed of the camel.
Professor Dario Westone
|
Dario considers the oasis. "Perhaps we should really let them come to us." He puts away his scimitar and draws his shortbow.
| Oxnard Kettlebeak |
You can be either on camels or have dismounted whichever you prefer
Sorry, I updated the slides- you'll see "Seeker's Folly" in my tag line (I know I have too many games in there) or the link above- I'll update the one in the campaign info as well!

Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Trip?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Benefit: The impact of your force spell is strong enough to knock the target prone. If the target takes damage, fails its saving throw, or is moved by your force spell, make a trip check against the target, using your caster level plus your casting ability score bonus (Wisdom for clerics, Intelligence for wizards, and so on). This does not provoke an attack of opportunity. If the check fails, the target cannot attempt to trip you or the force effect in response.
A toppling spell only affects spells with the force descriptor. A toppling spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell’s actual level.
Flagbearer is available for anyone within 30' of Fiata. +1 to all the things.

Your spells with the force descriptor knock the affected creatures prone.

Skai Calandrella

The swallowed elemental is likely a bit panicky, hoping not to simply become a belch. It pounds away frantically from the inside, as the grabbed one works to hit the beast from the outside.
At least these aren't using a weapon, so grappled still allows attacks.
Slam Attack, swallowed?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Freebooter's Bane on the Dust Digger. It only affects those within 30 feet, but the designated enemy does not have to be within 30 feet. I don't think Kenji gets the bonus.
