Zephyr takes 3 damage as Krodop punches her in the back of her racist head.
"Next time it's my forking hammer, you racist forking ladle, ambush or no, I'm not going to listen to your spoonish ignorance."

"Dholec Drar" Zephyr spits out a reply (in Goblin) and sticks her tongue out at the dorf. "You go and try to be nice to someone and he..." She looks sideways at krodop "or she goes and punches you in the head.

She distances herself from the dumb Dorf and keeps an eye on him. She pats her pommel to make sure he understands that she's willing to cut him down if he tries to hit her again.

(I think I'm making a wonderful distraction )

He grips his warhammer.

"Dwarven women don't have beards any more than tiefling women have toothed nethers, though I'm wondering if the latter might actually be true in your case."

"Enough!" hollers Coljin excitedly.
"I will not heal anyone of you that injures each other. This is ridiculous. You all need to watch your mouths, your tempers, and your blades!"

He steps between the two and has his crossbow in hand as if he is going to use it to keep them apart.
Although he is annoyed with the two, he is still more worried about the ambush and keeps an eye out for any problems he sees hiding along the roadway.

"But she... she... Ahhh, sorry Father Coljin. I shouldn't let her bait me like that."

Krodop looks abashed and drops back, keeping the cleric between him and the tiefling.

Fed up with the dumb dorf, zephyr skips ahead a bit...all part of her plan of course.

(By 'ahead', I mean maybe 25-30 feet, She's drawing the first shot, should there be one...because she's awesome)

But I will hold a dodge action if I can, and she'll be carrying her shield, as if that were natural for her to do.

((Performance check to keep it casual.))

Performance: 1D20+1 = [20]+1 = 21

Well crap, there goes my 1 crit.

Nemeia hangs back,waiting for the ambush to happen before she joins in.

Maji doesn't care where he is sneaking in the ambush of the ambush, just keeping close to druid sister.

"Zephyr! don't run ahead of us alone!"

Holger will catch up to Zephyr so she won't be the only one targeted, but also keeping her as a shield against one side of the road.

"Maybe also consider how you talk to Krodop.. You've got no need to make unecessary enemies when it can be avoided."

Holger performance: 2D20.HIGH(1)+6 = [18, 5]+6 = 24
Used tide of chaos to get advantage so I'm ready for some wild surges!
Would frostbite from elemental evil be okay to pick?

Also let's stick to Holger being at least 30 ft from everyone but Zephyr, just in case

"Drax told me that you city folks spend too much time dancing around words, said words should be straight and true. A knife in the back doesn't lie." Zephyr smiled thoughtfully at Holger. "A Dorf is a Dorf, just like a Nom is a Nom."

Ulmwin just casually shakes his head, and otherwise proceeds with the ambush... Deciding not to mention that he bought into the myth of dwarven women also having beards for WAY too long. Nor that the moment he found that out was rather embarrassing too, as he had remarked to someone that she "looked odd for a halfling"...

Randy is too busy attending to the matter at hand, sneaking along and getting into position.

((Ok, how do you guys want to be positioned... this is my rough idea based on what you've said so far, the dashed line represents the crest of the hill that Rothar said they are on the other side of.))

Ambush!

((that's fine for Nem. I assume the circles are the centaurs?))

((Yeah, lighter brown with dark brown outline is Dryderion, reddish with dashed outline is Alistral, grey with yellow outline is Rothar, and dark brown with white outline is Kreentath.))

((Looks good to me.))

((Provided that's the case, folks can give me anything they'd like to do other than proceed at the same place until 'something' happens. Until then, you aren't in the order.))

Randy tried to listen for anything from ahead.

perception: 1D20+3 = [3]+3 = 6

He doesn't hear anything.

Nemeia follows the centaur's track through the grass, towards the ambush. She also listens and watches carefully for any sign of what's ahead.

Perception: 1D20+2 = [11]+2 = 13

Coljin will quietly cast resistance on himself and work on keeping it running until an attack occurs. Recasting it if need be.

Zephyr wonders how close they are to the bandits, and looks around as if taking in the beauty of it all. "Isn't this place beautiful" she says, saying it to no one in particular.

Perception: 1D20+3 = [13]+3 = 16

((Seems in order for me, Ulmwin will just keep a look out- Anyone that'd want a bardic inspiration roll before we go in, perhaps?))

Perception: 1D20+1 = [19]+1 = 20
