Jonath leaves Selena to continue questioning the guard. When she asks about civilians he replies, "We had a couple of men locked up for stealing. They were awaiting the wagon to take them back to Cantus for trial. I don't see them over there so I assume the Kobolds took them with them. You don't think the bastards were taking them for slaves or for..." he pauses a moment and then says, "food?"
Mardak recognizes the damage to the skull was caused by magic missiles. When he looks for the noise he can't seem to locate where it's coming from. While looking down at the Hexblade, Betimi's keen eyes DO see what's making the noise. Three tiny flying critters dart up from deeper within the gorge. They swarm Mardak and are on top of him just as Betimi yells, "STIRGES!"

Surprise round: Only people who are aware may roll initiative. So that means the Stirges and Betimi, ONLY.
Betimi=20
Stirges= 16
Betimi gets to make ONE standard action before the Stirges action.
[OoC: Betimi did say she was going to cover Mardak but she did not say what she was using to do the covering. She has a throwing weapon and a Crossbow. So perhaps from now on everyone should mention what weapon they have readied or I'm going to assume you didn't bother pulling any out.]
