After nearly half a day of travel, you come to a bend in the path. As you travel with the wagon, you notice something on the path ahead. Two dead horses sprawled about fifty feet ahead of you, blocking the path. Each has several black-feathered arrows sticking out of it. The woods press close to the trail here, with a steep embankment and dense thickets on either side.
Gorne pulls the Oxen cart over to the side of the road and dismounts. "Someone watch the cart, I'm going to take a closer look, I'm sure I've seen arrows like these before..." the human guard starts to walk towards the fallen horses, ready to draw his weapons at a moments notice.
Cinder quickly climbs on top of the cart to get a better vantage point. He also began scanning the surrounding area to see if he spot anything unusual.
Elora, as you and Gorne make your way closer, you notice something. A very faint movement in the underbrush near the horses. As a party of 5 goblins leap from the shadows, you are the only one looking in the right place at the right time to join in the goblin's surprise round. Everyone roll initiative!
Seeing the goblins, Elora focuses her breathing and takes a fighting stance. She says to Gorne "Maybe we should retreat to the others, thats a lot of goblins".
Two goblins are right at the horses about 20 feet directly ahead of Elora and Gorne. About 10 feet in front of you another 2 goblins are off to the left and 1 is to the right. Klarth, Vidarr, and Cinder are at the wagon about 30 feet behind Elora and Gorne. The trail is about 20 feet wide before meeting dense brush and thickets on either side.
Ah yes! Vidar starts strumming along with Elora’s singing 19
Hmmm maybe I need to sort the strings out on this Lute..... Or use it as a club
Flocks of birds begin flying from the trees as the wagon approaches, seemingly fleeing from the discordant melodies.

Gosh even the birds are critics.... fine i'll be quiet for now! Vidar puts his lute away grumbling to himself
Seeing the dead horses, Elora gets a serious look on her face. She grabs her staff and signs the cart to stop.
"Everyone look out, there are two dead horses blocking the road. Something could be setting up a trap, we should proceed with caution. "
Then she looks into the woods trying to see if something is hiding there.
Hearing Elora, Klarth immediately grabs his mace and shield. He looks around, alert for an ambush.

Vidar draws his longsword and cracks his neck. Definitely seems like a trap.
Elora moves up with Gorne looking out for danger.

As Klarth, Cinder, and Vidarr raise their guard and protect the cart, Elora and Gorne make their way to the corpses.
