“The time of reckoning is soon. The Elder Eye is giving the prophets instructions as we speak.”

"And who are these prophets? I would assume you would be one of them, but who the others?"

The man laugh and shake his head "I wish I was powerful enough to be a prophet !" Then suddenly, his deranged smile becomes a grim frown. "What am I doing! Your not joining your get information!" He begins approaching your characters.

Jhazaal rubs his hand over his bald head as he looks to the others of his group.  He doesn't think this is going to be something they can just walk away from. As the leader of the monks moves towards them, Jhazaal decides it is best to act first.  Stepping out from behind one of his companions, his shield held in one hand and his other slipping his scimitar out of its sheath, He strikes at the leader of the group of monks.

Jedavii laughs. "Fortunately, I have something that always beats rock."

He grins as he draws his sword. "Paper."

(Was Jhazaal's action a surprise-round one, or is it his first round action in initiative?)

(I guess an only you surprise round)

"Well I see it always ends in violence," Talvian sighs and draws his crossbow.
