Sometimes a Nat 1 tells a better story than a Nat 20 ever could.
Monk-E, having never been to Greenest assumes the family they met up with knows the way. "Lead the way," he calls out. More to the family, but he also makes eye contact with the rest of the group signaling his willingness to follow some other plan to get there. Once moved out, he stays in proximity to Nydella should there be another encounter along the way - to offer any additional defense (or offense) that could be needed.
Valharri sizes up the individuals in her company making note of who they were and what the looked like in case the got separated. She listened to Ghenesh give his plan and nodded agreeingly. "Yes, traveling along the river might keep us out of the Kobolds line of sight but we have to be aware of the clusters of tree. They could use the coverage the trees provide to ambush us, so keep your wits about you. I've visited Greenest many times so I'll join at the point of the caravan as well." The elven woman says joining the front.
Fjordix was not for the chatter when lives were being lost, he gripped his weapons hilt tightly to stop the fire in his heart. He hated to admit it but more than 1 or 2 of these creatures could fell him if the got the jump on him, and were lucky. He needed to travel with this group for now. "I like the idea of the shore, lets make way"
Your group moves along the shore, making your way closer to the keep. As you reach the point where the river starts to bend to the north, you notice a group moving freely through the street. Everyone make a perception check and a stealth check.
Monk-E softens his steps in an attempt to remain unnoticed (Stealth: 26) while he observes the group of people in the street that lies ahead of his group (Perception: 9).
Rex sticks low to the ground, ((5)) but is understandably UNstealthy as a large black dragon man. As he is "sneaking" along, he is keeping his eyes open for anything suspicious ((18)) and actually tries to keep focus on the things at hand, rather than a giant dragon...
(Stealth: 18 ) Dispite her constant clamoring of her chainmail and her heavy metal boots, Valharri holds her breath and creeps along softly and low to the ground trying to not make a sound.
(Perception: 19 ) She keeps her keen eleven eyes trained on the group up ahead ready to bring her party to a holt if need be.
[Now, Rex was holding his action for anything that looked vaguely Kobold. Would he have the option to attack now before initiative because he was prepared?]

Yes, you could attack now as part of a surprise round. Everyone, roll initiative.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Initiative: 10
Surprise Round!: Rex raises his voice as he runs thirty feet toward the group, "Kobolds! Younger brothers of drakes! You are a stain on your proud heritage by this cult! I, Rex'aliha the Enlightend, prophet of Io, shall show you the power of a unified dragonkind!" and will cast Arms of Hadar with a save of DC14 for 8 Necrotic damage.

Rex is preparing himself. The second that anything vaguely koboldish pops up, he's quickdrawing an Eldritch Blast toward them.
[Rex will be the first to fall if that happens.]

Still humming quietly to herself Nydella is sleathing at 8 and is perceptive as 10
{I'd like to point out that Nydella's passive perception is 13 so if it's nothing too sleath or covert she would possible notice it}

Everyone who rolled a 10 or higher sees 4 kobolds and 2 humans in black robes in a group on the street.
[Enemy perception checks - Kobolds: 14 Humans: 12]
The group notices some of you down by the river. One of the humans says, "What are you all doing down in the river?"
