Rowena will take the lead... heading directly towards the rising smoke if there is enough room to walk side by side then she will, of course, welcome Ser Aldon at her side, however, he prefers. As to the rest of the party, Rowena has no objections to how they choose to sort themselves out in whatever order they think best unless there is a disagreement and she is then forced to sort them out. (;) Rowena carries her maul at the ready glancing back at Iroona, "have no fear, I will let my weapon do my talking so that there will be no misunderstandings!"
The path climbs up one last steep switchback toward a bare shoulder of rock. The hillside rises steeply on your right and drops away precipitously on your left. Debris and rubbish lie scattered over the last hundred yards or so — discarded water skins, bits of charred bone, and splintered casks or kegs. Up ahead, the path opens onto a wide ledge and then doubles back sharply into the mountainside.
Two bestial humanoids in hide armor stand watch on the ledge. They appear inattentive and bored and have not spotted you yet.
The dainty maiden with a look of obvious disappointment on face silently gazes at the discarded rubbish and kegs. It is evident to her keen senses that someone has started the party without her, an unforgivable breach of etiquette which just cannot be excused or overlooked! Then seeing the two bestial humanoids she smiles...
Rowena silently motions for Ser Aldon to hunker down and conceal himself as much as possible given the terrain and to ready his crossbow, pointing to the one on the left as his target. When he is ready Rowena will hold on her maul with one hand while she pulls out herWand of Magic Missiles with the other so they can coordinate the timing of their fire together. Hopefully with Ser Aldon sufficiently out sight for them if they don't drop them then one or both will see a maiden in a dress all alone that might prove an enticing target for them.

Iroona is about to say something when Rowena gets all shifty and crouches, motioning to Aldon to do the same. Iroona will crouch, too (behind Slate?), hold up one hand and sight along it, aiming at one of the humanoids. She will silently cast True Strike (but the line of sight variant we discussed), taking a bead on the nearest humanoid.
OOC > Hopefully she can get that in before combat begins so she can benefit from it on her first (surprise?) round, but if it is instead her first round, that's fine, too.
Yes, that is correct. Just for her next attack. That’s why she wants to try to do it before the first round of combat (but will still do it even if it is her surprise round/first round).

We're going up. I assume that Rowena is going up first, so Sir Aldon will go after her.

Iroona will shake her head, but has learned in her brief time with Rowena to let it go. She will follow directly behind Slate.

With Iroona's magical assistance, Sir Aldon will take his crossbow and fire at the humanoid on the right.

I believe Iroona's True Sight thingy only give HER advantage on her attack next round not Sir Aldon - sorry
Will wait to see what the rest of the party is doing before moving forward.

Vonman pulls out some manacles. Not good in a fight. He looks at Aldon, mouths 'You Got This!'. he feels inspired! (Bardic)

So Sir Aldon can roll an additional d6 on any attack, ability or saving throw roll
