1. The referee may determine if either party is surprised by the other (by circumstance or by a roll - see Surprise, below)
2. The referee determines how far away the creatures or persons are from the party.
3. The referee determines the reaction to the party (usually with a Reaction Check.) The players decide how their characters will act:
4. A. If both parties wish to talk, they may. B. If the player party decides to flee, the referee determines whether the other party pursues (usually with a Morale Check.) C. If combat occurs, follow the Combat Procedure.
