Out of Character: I'm not sure which one specifically is listen, but I'm rolling both for Durgan. Just remove whichever is sight based.
The dogs are still growling and they can see at least three figures slowly making their way towards you through the woods. Sessativa with her eyes and ears can see them too and hear what they are saying. This is what she hears: "All I am telling you is the M said they will be traveling back this way sometime. We are to kill them and take anything they have and return it to M He said we will get to keep half of the money they are carrying if any." Another one replies, "Yeah he promised me that nice new way station south of town. I think I will become rich as I raise taxes and get more money coming in."
Zork says quietly, "Let's make it 'easy' for them by setting a trap."
Zork announces he needs to take a leak loudly and then heads into the woods with his dogs. His plan is to make his way to their location and commit a surprise attack. His new cloak makes him very hard to hit and he wants to use this to his advantage while drawing the battle away from the blind and his companion.
Out of Character: What rolls do I make for hide / surprise or do you just need attack rolls for the dogs and myself?
Out of Character: Txtrpg, just make sure you recieve Durgan's Aid spell first. Note down 3 temporary HP and don't forget a +1 to attack and damage rolls
In Character: "Make sure you come back if you need healing" Durgan says as Zork moves forward. Sessativa leads his horse closer to the enemies (At a slower pace than Zork's) before blending in to the forest, waiting for an easy opportunity to strike (Like a flanking bonus or finishing a badly wounded enemy).

Zork waits for his party member's spell and then moves in for the surprise attack.
Out of Character: Your rolls, what number is needed to know if they see me or not? Does the bonus apply to the dogs too because I included it?
Dungeon Master, the attack / damage rolls is for 1 round for two dogs.
Out of Character: they needed a 11 or better to have spotted you. Zork sees five men.
In Game: Zork and his dogs are able to flank the group heading you way. He is able to surprise them and attack. Zork strikes one for 6 damage. The two dogs are both able to hit for 7 damage each.
Question is do the dogs attack same target as Zork, both attack a single target or each attacks a different target.
Out of Character: The dogs will attack their own targets and Zork too so its spread out. Dogs will use bite.
In Character: Zork intends to bring them down and if possible keep one barely alive for questioning by possibly knocking him out rather than killing but that's later.
