(Since the majority of players seem to be ok with this, I will roll for Teslyn as well (hopefully that's alright with you too), and we may begin combat.)
(Maris, Teslyn and Duncan may go ahead with their turns in whichever order they like. Please refer to the last screenshot of the battlemap. When moving, just say which coordinate you're moving to (ex. M6 or G7) )

Maris will stick the apple in his mouth and hop next to Goblin 3.
Action: Grapple. Athletics check 23
Bonus Action: Since a grapple is considered a special attack, can I bonus action unarmed strike as part of martial arts? If so: Unarmed Strike: Attack: 15 Damage: 5 If not, nothing for my BA.

(I would say it's fine to use bonus action unarmed strike here)
The goblin tries its best to fight off the monk's attempt of grappling.
Acrobatics: 13
Also, the strong and reinforced monk punch hits the goblin right in the head drawing blood immediately. The goblin (3) seems to be in a critical state right now and also grappled.

Teslyn creeps along the edge of the forest, keeping a hedge between the wounded goblin and herself. She calls out to the goblin in back, saying, "You back there, hiding in the back, are you a coward?"
OOC: Move to K10, Vicious mockery on goblin 4, Wis save DC 14, 3 for damage.

The goblin does not respond to the calls, but you see it visually getting angrier and pissed, and, for some reason, starting to get confused and slightly writhing in pain.

"Tessa and Lillian watch out!" Duncan yells while letting loose a bolt from his heavy crossbow Action: Ranged Attack at Goblin 111if hit damage:7
After that Duncan then moves to L6 to try and occupy the goblins from getting to Tessa or Lillian while drawing one of his handaxes (Free action to draw/stow) (I know this means I can't reload my crossbow (I don't plan to), although I plan to use an opportunity attack should they not disengage from me to reach Tessa and Lillian)

Duncan fires his arrow and you see as it accurately hits the goblin right between the eyes, sending it to the ground.
The goblin (1) lays motionless on its back, blood pooling by his head. He is completely dead.
Goblin 2's Turn
Seeing his comrade die on the spot, this goblin gets enraged and immediately attacksDuncan in return with his scimitar.
Attack Duncan: 9 ; If hit: 7 slashing damage
Goblin 3's Turn
Since this goblin is held firmly under Maris's grasp, he tries to sneak in an attack with his scimitar and hopefully get rid of the monk for good.
Attack Maris: 9 ; If hit: 7 slashing damage
Goblin 4's Turn
Still angry and confused from the insults thrown at him, this goblin takes out his shortbow and quickly fires an arrow from it. That arrow is clearly aimed at Teslyn, the deliverer of his pain.
Attack Teslyn shortbow: 9 ; If hit: 4 piercing damage
(Lillian, Tessa to go this round in any order; Next round begins with Maris, Teslyn, and Duncan again)
"Good work, team!"Tessa shouts as one of the goblins falls down.
She steps closer to the grappled goblin, and lunges to thrust the enemy with her rapier.
(Move to K7)
Rapier Attack: 20 Damage: 12
The grappled goblin struggles for his life, but Tessa's rapier manages to pierce him deeply and take his last breath with it. The goblin (3) is now dead.

Running, Maris uses all 35' of movement to go to N9.
Maris takes the apple out of his mouth and shouts in common, "Hey! Who's ambushing who?!" Bonus Action: Damage or not, I'm throwing the apple at Goblin 4 Dexterity check: 18
Action: Shove to knock Goblin 4 prone. Athletics: 18

Action: Shove to knock Goblin 4 prone. Athletics: 10
It only takes Maris 25ft. of movement to reach N9 and, although he successfully throws the apple at the goblin's face, it is not enough to cause any real damage. Instead, he takes 3 damage to his pride.
The goblin tries his best to resist the shove, and he does so without problem. He shakes off Maris and the fight continues.
A bit excited over the soon to be victory Duncan cheers "ah ha! We got em now, help me finish this one off Lillian!" Duncan stows his crossbow and pulls out his other hand axe and makes an attack with each hand axe at the goblin (Free action to stow the crossbow) (Then as an attack I draw my other axe and attack with it) (Action) Attack with Handaxe (main hand) 21 if hit 4 (Bonus Action) Attack with Handaxe (off hand) 9 if hit 1
(OOC:Karma what do you type for the command with your rolls to calculate those crits or crit fails?)

Duncan takes out his handaxes and swings them both at the goblin. The first one hits him right in the side drawing blood, but the second one misses. He is now in a critical state, all bloodied and hurt.
(You can press the dice button and it has a 'Combat' tab in the middle that allows you to attack and automatically roll extra damage in case of crit)
Teslyn runs up to the goblin she taunted, drawing her rapier as she does so. She steels herself, and for the first time in her life, tries to actively end the life of another creature.
OOC: Rapier Attack: Attack: 18 Damage: 12

OOC: Rapier Attack: Attack: 13 Damage: 10
Her effort at ending one's life does not actually pay off as the blade slightly misses its target, although that might be in her favour? Being spared from ending life, that is.
Goblin 4's Turn
But the Goblin is not forgiving, and it does not take lightly to such attacks. He responds by attacking her back with his scimitar.
Attack Teslyn Scimitar: 19 Damage: 6
Goblin 2's Turn
This one turns to Duncan and tries to attack with his scimitar.
If Goblin 4 runs away from me, can I take an attack of opportunity?
Reaction: Maris attempts a round-house kick to the back of Goblin 4's head. Attack: 25 Damage: 5
He does not run away from you. Teslyn has approached him enough to hit him with her rapier and he responded with an attack of his own, but he has not moved at all from that spot.
(Since the majority of players seem to be ok with this, I will roll for Teslyn as well (hopefully that's alright with you too), and we may begin combat.)
Teslyn's Initiative: 19
Current Initiative:
24 Maris
19 Teslyn

Attack: 10 Damage: 8
Now is the chance to see if all of that study and training will pay off. She has never actually hit anything living before.
Lillian strides forward (to L5) and swings her hammer at the goblin. Damn, much harder when they are moving too.
Unfortunately, her hammer misses the goblin entirely and goes into the ground creating a cloud of dust from the impact.
This goblin (2) is in full health and ready to cause some trouble.
(Tessa to go this round)
"Good work, team!" Tessa shouts as one of the goblins falls down.
She steps closer to the grappled goblin, and lunges to thrust the enemy with her rapier.

Remaining: Goblin (2) - Healthy, Goblin (4) - Hurt
