Um, how come neither Valance or Davhid never got notice they were coming out? And we should get first attacks, having readied actions to do so.

Valance steps out and attacks the women.

Spoiler

She's flat footed so denied Dex to AC and I get to sneak attack.
Swift Action: Burning Blade (+1d6+6 per attack this round)
Move Action: Move to within 5 feet of the women. Since they are flat-footed no one gets attacks of opportunity.
Standard Action: Wolf Fang Stike (make 2 attacks as a standard action at -2 to each roll. If the first attack drops target to -1 or less HP I don't get the second).
Stance: Assassins Stance (+2d6 sneak attack).

And I'll just post for whenever I can act again. Dresil will move towards the road more, then cast Ghost Sound to make it seem like 20 armored knights are running toward the ruins shouting things like 'For Erwind!' and 'Die Opposers to the Rightful King!' (Will 15 disbelief)

Yes I am. Tough luck for the knight.

Dresil whispers in the kobold's ear...

I was really telling the truth. Now look, before those knights come, maybe you should give me the artifact and I'll help you escape. If you don't have it, get it for me and you can escape the knights... I promise. Set it down next to this rock and I'll get you out of here.
