"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?"

(OOC why is there a lvl 6 character in the campaign?:P)

"Also, if Terragea finds an opportunity to negotiate beforehand, I'll go with him " Grim adds

 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.”

”Captain, we’ll be there where you need us.”

it’s late, yeah? Are the goblins using torches?

“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.

Randall:

"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.

"Hey, I need someone to explain what the nine hells we're doing like I'm a five year old with no military experience."

"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?"

"I don't have anything ranged beyond a dagger, though I can wield that quite well. Unless insulting them magically will help." says Ceo, determined to help now that he understands what they're doing.

 “Take my crossbow. I have other resources to assist.” Petcan hands over a light crossbow with 20 bolts.

 "Thank you. If you don't mind, I'd like to play a battle song before we charge."

(This is me giving you guys bardic inspiration)

"Alright, thanks for the information and thank you for the possibility of horses." Bow says to the captain.

He looks back to his new found companions

"Everyone who wants to join our 'special forces' follow me, we'll check the old tree and stones in the field to find some good hiding spots for ourselves, but we need to move fast as we need to be hidden before the goblins arrive there."

Randall:

Nodding and following Bow, Randall says as an aside, “As a healer, I will help stabilize any of your wounded on the battlefield as I can, then catch up to the rest of you afterwards.”

Grim follows Bow as well. "I have some small healing ability. I can aid Randall with the wounded."

With a strain in his body and an ache in his head a half-elf rises from a half-broken barrel outside of the tavern as he hears the sound of panic and the march of the town's defenders. He wipes his face of various forms of filth as he attempts to stand up, struggling to keep his balance "The energy up here is always really high," he mumbles to himself as he stumbles over to the group "Is this a..." he pauses as he searches his memory for the word, "parade?"

(OOC(Sorry for jumping in so late, I didn't realize there was a thread link in the campaign page.))

"Sure buddy, it's a parade. You should follow them."

Petcan draws a long knife and moves to follow towards the tree.

Bow will hide near the tree,; stealth: 9

I will hide near Bow. Everyone please remember that four of you have some bardic inspiration. The first four to quote this get the inspiration. That's fair right?

on second thought, I'm just gonna hide near some rocks away from the others since that was a nat 1.
