I'm trying to set up an ambush and i discovered that i didn't understand how the game get you in combat.
I placed my characters on a little cliff, and one below to draw monsters to them. But it seem than when the monster get in range and force them into combat, even if their portraits are in the top left, they don't get actions the first turn. They don't have the 'surprised' icon neither. So the monster i'm trying to lure and ambush get 2 round of actions on passive folks who was actually supposed to welcome him with fire and arrows :p
What am i doing wrong?
Also, kind of related : does someone know the trick to prep for battle? In the same configuration, i tried to cast mirror images on everyone, but since you can't be in turn by turn while one of your party is in combat, the spell is nearly expired after the two turns required for the bait to go and come back.
It's frustrating^^. I wanted to ambush, fully prepared, a monster, and find myself giving him 3 free rounds instead :p
