"I am proficient with a bow if we have an extra one. I'm not sure the plan for me to ride out there is feasible at this point. I don't see how were going to stop enough of them to make a difference." Grim says

Randall:

”You are right that we can’t stop them, Grim, but I am hoping we can slow them down.  Of course, surviving their counterattack should be our first priority,” responds Randall.

”If we can get horses, we should be able to retreat faster than the goblins can follow, and the suggestion of firing from the fringes of town from a barricade and retreating before we are overrun is the best idea,” he says, nodding at Syvis.

(2 successes/1 failure)

As Grim goes to mount the worg it shies away with a low growl, not sure what Grim's approach meant it starts sniffing and looking around on the ground.

"Probably needs to be fed again. We don't have the time right now and my thoughts on redeeming this creature, simply vanity." Grim says, as much to himself as anyone. "Go! Hunt!" He yells at the Worg "If you can, don't join the army coming this way and if at all possible, don't face me in battle." He adds, not knowing if it understands any of what he says.

Grim Animal Handling: 20

 "Now let's find some horses and if at all possible, a bow."

With about an hour of daylight remaining you spot the goblin horde on the horizon.

Before the goblin horde reaches Garrum there is a scouting party that reaches there 1st.

3 worg-riders and 3 archers about 100 feet from the barricade.

worg-riders init.: 18 
goblin archers: 18 

(Roll for Initiative.)

(OOC Thought you were going to  be rolling initiative for us, but either way . . .)

Grim Initiative: 12 

 (OOC Does the Worg take off? Do we find horses and a bow/arrows?)

Initiative: 15 

(sorry, you're right... been a long day)

Bow's init.: 19 
Randall's init.: 5 
Ceo's init.: 6 
Petcan's init.: 8 

Initiative order:

Syvis
Bow
3 worg-riders
goblin archers
Grim
Petcan
Ceo
Randall

The worg doesn't understand but when you say Go! Hunt! it understands the tone and leaves.

You can find some bow & arrows, enough that whoever doesn't have one can get one if they want to make ranged attacks.

One of the Reeves' men leaves you 6 horses but only on the condition that when you retreat back from the goblin horde they eventually get them back.

(Syvis is up.)

(OOC Oh I know how that one can go!)

Seeing the scouting party approach, Syvis turns around and exchanges a glance with the others. There's no turning back. He thought to himself. Hiding himself behind the shadows of the barricade, he places hunter's mark on one of the archers and let his arrows fly loose.

(Does the barricade provide cover?)

Attack: 25 Damage: 18 

Attack: 15 Damage: 18 

(Before any of the fighting Bow would have imbued his weapon with rite of dawn taking 3 damage in the process. And he would have hid behind the barricade, making sure he has a shot through it and so he has full cover (because what else is a barricade for:P)

Assuming he cannot be seen by his attacker, and because of the long range advantage and disadvantage so normal attacks:

Attack on one of the riders:

Attack: 10 Damage: 12

After the attack he will move 15ft to another spot and shoot again (one of the riders, same if it didn't die, another one if it did:

Attack, bonus action: 28 Damage: 19

After which he moves his final feet behind the barricade; ensuring the goblins don't know where he is and hopefully making it look like they are with more people than they actually are.

"Shoot the riders, so they cannot go back and tell about any numbers!"

Rite of dawn:

"Are we fighting now? Did someone send a signal or something? Did I miss something? WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

OOC: I actually totally understand but Ceo is pretty clueless and has very little combat experience.

The barricade provides 3/4 cover.

Syvis fires arrow after arrow, killing 2 of the goblin archers.

Bow moves and sneaks from position to position firing off shots, the 1st misses but the 2nd takes a rider right out of it's saddle as it slumps to the ground dead.

The 3 worg-riders move and dash up to the barricade, even the rider-less worg, following the others for now.

The 1 remaining goblin archer fires an arrow at long range toward Syvis and then turns and runs back the way it came.

@Syvis: Attack: 10 Damage: 8 

(Grim is up. Petcan is next.)

Randall:

Quietly to his comrades, Randall says, “Let the archer go,” and he starts shouting orders in various directions across the battlefield.

”Archers, fire at will!  Artillery, establish range to enemy, Infantry, hold the barricades, Cavalry, prepare countercharge!”

(On his turn):

Casting Sacred Flame on the closest Warg Rider, then moving and nudging one of their horses so it whinnies after he gives orders to the cavalry.

Sacred Flame (No cover, DC 13 Dexterity Save Avoids):  7

Grim targets the one remaining goblin archer

Grim Attack: 14 

(Goblin Archer's AC 13... Worg-riders AC 15 due to shield.)

Grim's attack hits.

Grim Damage: 8

Petcan raises a hand and gathers fire in his hands before sending out three distinct beams at three goblin riders. Fire then glows up out of his chest and to his neck for a moment (font of magic to regain the spell slot, as a bonus action)

scorching ray 

Attack: 14 Damage: 5 

Attack: 22 Damage: 8 

Attack: 21 Damage: 9 

Grim wounds the goblin archer causing it to screech in pain and anger.

Petcan fires 3 rays of scorching fire but only the 2nd one connects and kills another goblin rider, leaving only 1 goblin rider and 3 worgs left. (and that wounded archer)
