As the group of reinforcements comes closer, give me another stealth check, this time at advantage from the prep that you've done building up the wall (spitting on the dust nearby, etc.).

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

((Yeah, lost access to Bryn's sheet, but with the rogue base, even with a 6 on the die his stealth should be decent enough that I'm going to say that passes as a group check unless BB were intentionally trying to get noticed.))
You all stay low and still, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. While the others in the group aren't all that loud, the skittering chitterers provide a good gauge on how far the column has gotten, you wait until the first few make it past...
((Was the plan to strike when they are halfway past? I'll take initiative rolls, and you'll be catching them by surprise. I'll get NPC and enemy rolls up later today.))

(How do we rule surprise in this campaign? A round where the surprised party doesn't act, or a round where their actions are last regardless of initiative rolls? If it's the former, Bolt will be using the Dash action to close the distance, if it's the latter then Dodge.)
