Sorry, I'm beginning to enter a vacation period and while I will try to check-in at least daily, I cannot promise that I will always be able to do so. From September 1, I should be back to normal.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Reacting to the rustling, the party notices a larger group of goblins dressed very much like the first group. Fortunately everyone other than Lilgrea notices the goblins before they can surprise the group. Unfortunately, most of the group was a little too relaxed after the last fight and were slow to react.
The first goblins to the edge of the woods see the largest thing in front of them (Rizo) and shoot at it with their bows.
G2: Attack: 18 Damage: 5
G1: Attack: 17 Damage: 5
G3: Attack: 23 Damage: 8
Rizo is next in the initiative order.
((I will post the map shortly and feel free to reposition before the fight.))
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The goblins were expecting to meet their advance party so they were not hiding or taking cover when they arrived. However, Goblins 1,2, and 5 (those who have already attacked) did retreat into the woods to seek cover and try to hide.
G2 Hide24
G1 Hide: 18
G5 Hide: 23
None of them manage to get out of site, but they still have 3/4 cover. The remaining three goblins are neither hidden nor have cover at this point.
OK, I lied. I will post the map when I figure out how to post a map.
(I know what you mean, I had the same problem and not much time to figure try and figure it out, that's why I made one out of text. Should you figure it out, please let me know. Actually, Acjotsmanaged to do just that, @Acjotswhat did you use to make the map?)
Initiative Len: 5 + any modifiers
Still on edge after the chance encounter with the bandits, Rizo was immediately alarmed when a flock of birds hastily took flight just as if disturbed. Still, he didn't get his shield up fast enough for two of the three arrows that followed but he saw from where they came: A group of goblins. "We're under attack!" he shouts the obvious just in case.
(Now what Rizo will do will depend largely on how the scene looks like so there'll be a bunch of "ifs". Please, choose freely what you feel is most appropriate.)
If Rizo can get close to get at least three goblins in a cone of fire, he'd do that and cast Burning Hands for 14 fire damage with a DEX save of 14 for half damage, and then use his bonus action to command Bruce to fire a seed at any goblin, preferably one that is still out in the open, for an Attack: 19 with 3 fire damage.
Should he not be able to roast at least three goblins, he'd use his bonus action to imbue his wooden club with his wrath and attack the nearest goblin: Attack: 20 Damage: 6

(Given the map, I'd say Rizo chooses the first option, moves South-West of G6, blasts a cone of burning hands towards G6, G5, G4, then commands Bruce to move South of him and attack with Flame seed whoever is closest in range and, preferably, not behind cover. Lastly, Rizo moves into three-quarter cover himself for the remaining 10 feet of movement. Note that G5 would have +5 for his DEX save as he is in three-quarter cover if I understand the situation correctly. Next up. It's Lan, right?)

If Rizo can get close to get at least three goblins in a cone of fire, he'd do that and cast Burning Hands for 9 fire damage with a DEX save of 14 for half damage, and then use his bonus action to command Bruce to fire a seed at any goblin, preferably one that is still out in the open, for an Attack: 26 with 8 fire damage.

(Not sure who is carrying Lan, I'll take the liberty to move him this round. Please, ignore it if one of you had other plans. If the rolls go well, we'll jump both initiatives at once. I'm assuming he stands behind Lilgrea as he appears to be two times on the map. )
Lan sees Rizo setting a part of the forest ablaze with a blast wave from his hands and with it a couple of goblins. One of them appears to have been jumping out of its wake and thus avoiding the brunt of it. Lan, anxious for getting a chance to redeem himself, aims at the goblins. Only one of them (G4) isn't behind cover and, therefore, find himself in Lan's line of fire. The bolt whizzes through the air towards the goblin and ...

strikes true! Ah, no, but almost. It got stuck in the shield. (I checked the wrong stats...)

The goblin dodges Lan's bolt. He disengages and retreats to take cover. He realizes that the woods are too dense to flee the scary fire spouting creature. He fires his bow at the one who caused h (Rizo) his pain and tucks himself into the trees.
Attack: 23 Damage: 7
Meanwhile Minty takes careful aim at one of the archers to the north (G1) and tries out his new weapon.
Attack: 17 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

There is a squeak from behind one of the trees as the goblin drops.
Rizo yelps as the vicious goblin's arrow struck him in his ear. With his statue he is simply not made to hide behind trees, he contemplates with pain ringing in his head.

Oh that's right! I forgot. Lan has a +1 tot initiative and 16hp.
Further stats: Bandit
I used Inkarnate for the map (inkarnate.com). I didn't pay for it, so I had to make a screenshot and upload it.

Rizo moves forward and lets loose a gout of flame.
G4 save: 10
G5 save 8
G6 save: 18
Two of the goblins are instantly incinerated the third (G4) is very badly burned.
Bruce incinerates another.
((Lan and G4 go next, but I need to run off to an appointment))

Lilgrea is caught entirely by surprise by all of this sudden activity.
Egan is next, followed by Justin then Rizo and Lan
Egan aims a Firebolt at Goblin 2.

Miss. He uses his movement to seek cover behind a tree.
Justin runs up to G3 (so he also gets in melee with G2).
Maybe you want at taste of this?
