Rilt pauses for only a single calculating moment before nodding and moving next to Calitynia. 

He follows the knight closely, but draws forth a dark lens and holds it to sky as he does. 

"My strength endures in blood and bone,"  as a bit of power pours forth, casting a spell of false life on himself. 

He seems satisfied with the outcome and nods Calitynia. "Ready."

He gains 7 temp hp

((Stealth checks from Rena, Glann, and Jaime please! Either in the campaign log or here.))

Stealth: 17 (campaign log)

Stealth: 14

"I-i can't go back there." The young farmer stammers, shaking his head. "I'll take you as far as I can, b-but I'm no fighter." Hesitantly, he turns back down the way he came and starts to lead Calitynia and Rilt down the road. Meanwhile Jaime, Rena, and Glann melt into the trees off the road, quickly blending into the foliage.

You eventually come to another bend in the road, and the man leading you refuses to go further. "Right around there is where we were...Gods help them."

Rilt and Calitynia: As you move slowly around the corner, you see the site of the ambush. Up the road a wrecked wagon lies toppled, surrounded by armored corpses. Strange hunchbacked figures picking through the remains. From beneath their dark cloaks just scaly wings, and sharp reptilian features.

Jaime, Rena, and Glann: Your off-road adventure has you elevated above the road now, but the outcropping is angled upwards such that you can't quite see what's going on. You still have line of sight of Rilt and Calitynia.

So far, none of you have been seen by the strange attackers. To attempt to move closer unseen, Rilt and Calitynia will also need to roll stealth.

Reference: Blue arrows are the relative positions of your characters

Calitynia puts up a hand to try to wordlessly get Rilt to pause. She waits for the other group to get further ahead, to a position where they could attack these dark cloaked scaly figures. 

Given the pause, she takes a look at the scene before her, trying to see if there are any of the travelers still alive or any survivors among wounded. (Perception: 17) 

She also grabs her light crossbow, preparing to attack if necessary. 

(OOC - Curious about range. Her crossbow is 80 ft. No point sneaking forward if in range.)

Watching Calitynia pause and grab her crossbow, Jaime signals to the others to get low, creeping forward towards the edge of the outcrop, but not peeking over.

Rena follows Jaime's lead, crouching down and moving forward slowly. A small panic rises in her chest briefly, but she squashes it down. 

Rilt studies the figures dispassionately, trying to discern what these creatures are

Arcana/history/religion 15 

Glann follows and lays down next to Jaime and Rift having a quick look over the edge to see what they are dealing with.

Calitynia: It's difficult to make it out from this range. None of the bodies seem to be moving. If anyone is alive, they're either unconscious or doing a good job of playing dead. But you are able to pick out distinctive horned helmets. These were no mere soldiers, but fellow Knights of Solamnia.
((Closest one from where you can hit without them noticing is at 75 feet.))

Rilt: Reptilian humanoids? You've never seen or heard of anything like these creatures.

All: If you intend to take a combat action from this point, roll initiative first!

Calitynia watches until it seems the others are in position. She looks to Rilt beside her, raising her crossbow, readying to fire at the one target near at hand. 

(Initiative: 14)

Still crouching low, Jaime draws his dagger, waiting for a signal for the fight to begin.

Initiative: 13

Initiative: 10 (campaign log)

Glann Initiative: 19

Glann holds his hand up with 5 fingers to Jaime and Rena to signal the number of enemies.

Rilt nods to Calitynia and begins walking closer, giving time for the others to get into position to cut off retreat, while he closes the gap as well.

Glann casts Sleep in the middle of the pack, covering all creatures. 

19 of hp's will be asleep after the spell, from lowest to highest hp.

As a BA he puts some extra inspiration in Jaime (d6 of Bardic inspiration)

(If the nearest target is affected by Sleep, she will move first to get in range then fire.)

Calitynia fires her light cross bow at the closest target then move 30 ft. towards the site of the attack. "HEY!," she yells out. "Who are you to assail travelers on this road? Give yourselves up!"

(Light Crossbow Attack: 7 Damage: 9)
