The wagons are 30' away, lodged in the wall of the gorge. So the crystal Betimi threw misses both Stirge. The tiny critters then finish their flight by buzzing around Mardak as he's balancing precariously on the wagon that could dislodge itself and fall into the gorge at any second!!
[OoC: Since this is a surprise round, the stirges can only move or take a standard action. Since they flew up to Mardak, they cannot attack this round; nor can they end their movement in an opponent's square. So for the moment Mardak is safe.]
Initiatives:
Betimi =20
Jonath =17 Just arrived on surprise round so cannot act until 1st round of combat
Stirges x3 = 16
Mardak =11 Can't act this round - failed spot check so was unaware.
Now on to the first round: Betimi and Jonath may act!
