OOC - First, SG has just attacked. So now you effectively give up your readied action (at 23) and on your next round (20) you will ready another one to have a clean shot? Technically SG will keep providing cover and you will still fire into melee.
Second, the fact of a quick draw doesn't qualify as an element of surprise in the heat of battle.
Third, if Sirrith is an undead, sneak or poison probably won't work (sneak would work in PF but not in DND). But this latter part is strictly OOC... until the end of next paragraph...
Shocked by the volley of attacks (three from Merri and one from Lugar, all of them hit the mark) but even more from the sheer terror that appears on his face from the power this priest of Pelor displayed, Sirrith's momentum is broken. He steps back and turns away, running with an otherworldly scream. One step though, and Giant's axe reaches his back, cutting through his cloak and ripping his armour to pieces.
Mesmerised by the knight becoming translucent and then dispersing like mist, the party hears a surprised yell from Maul, standing at the corner. Those who turn around can see him facing North, raising Pelor's symbol one more time.
Party's turn!
