@Randall: The young man slows a little and calls back as he passes, "Dozens and hundreds, swords and... bows, I think, yes. Some have bows." (the last part about the bows is said with a pause and somber look as if remembering something firsthand.)
@Petcan: Many of the buildings are wooden (being so close to the Northwood) and maybe only 2 or 3 are stone (expensive to quarry and move to the town).
As panic grips some of the people they begin to gather their loved ones and possessions and flee south in small clumps. The watch and military contingent are commandeering as many horses as they can, hoping to mount a charging force in answer to the advancing goblins.

As it seems evil is heading to town, Bow feels his blood starts to stream faster, and his adrenaline starts to rise.
He says to the people he just met
"Alright guys (and girls, where there any with us?), remember that story about Natali and Shawna, I guess we are them now and have to help these people protect their homes." Let's start by asking the commander how we can help?"

The captain of the forces addresses your group as they are the only ones not already running around in a panic. "I plan on charging up the middle of the advancing forces and mowing a swath through their numbers. The problem is after the charge we will need a moment to turn around and mount another charge from behind. Any archers they have will harass our efforts. What I need from you is to act as a special force and get to those archers. We're lucky this time their were no warg-riders. Ok everyone let's get this done, good luck."

a tall girl enters town with black to yellow hair, one purple and one white eyes, and wearing orange glasses and finger less gloves with a normal outfit. She sees all the chaos and just casts a shield.
"I have a question" Grim says to the captain. "what is the range of their archers? If we can already be in hiding as you, then they pass by us, we could be at the archers location as you begin turning your troop, some of us in the middle of it, some with ranged attacks near by"
"Alright, we'll take care of the archers; are there hiding locations in the spots you plan to attack? So we can hide there till you attack them?"

Ekō is trying to go to the tavern but sees archers from different directions and avoids them. She sees other people but stays quiet and mutters to her self “I just want some coffee” as she slumps down and adjust her glasse.
Petcan grabs hold of Eko and tries to urge her along with the others. “There are hundreds of goblins coming. The townsfolk are fleeing. If we don’t help the Captain, the goblins will overwhelm the soldiers as they try to turn. We’ll occupy the empty space left by the charge of the soldiers and we may just survive if we’re lucky. But there’s no sitting out unless you’re running with the townsfolk.”
“Alright I’m getting up, and why of today off all days, at least it will be something to write about.” She gets up and stretches. “ I will do anything to get some coffee,” she mutters to herself “ everyone thinks that coffee makes you short, but looks at me I’m 5’11 I’m tall” she casts back up the shield and follows.
"Bow, getting ahead and springing on the archers from behind after the goblins pass is a good idea, if we can find a good place to hide. And we'll have to move quickly. Who among us is a good woodsman?" asks Randall.

"Alright, our idea is to move up to where the soldiers are going to charge into the goblins. We will hide there until the soldiers attack; at that moment we will surprise the goblins, and focus our attacks on the archers, in the hope they will not attack the soldiers, who can finish them off after they turn around. Our attacks should preferably be ranged as well. Do we have anyone who doesn't have a ranged weapon?
Captain, are there any hiding spots where you will charge within, let's say a 60ft range?"
