having seen the group come to a halt, i slip into the tree to hide and try and observe for any movement in the trees surrounding the “horse flesh”

stealth: 17

perceptions:14

i ready my bow as i scan the trees.

As the Goliath and Half-orc get closer to the horses, it becomes clear that they have been dead awhile.  Black arrows have drained their blood out and flys have taken ownership.  What from a distance looked to be a dog was clearly a wolf which has now ducked into the woods.

johnson tries to track the movement of the wolf in case it is a threat or not alone.

perception: 18

otherwise, i just wait at the ready as the other check ahead. i await any signals from the party.

As the Goliath searchthe horses, he notices that all saddle bags are empty.  A empty map case is next to the carnage. It becomes evident that these are the same horses that Gundren and Sildar left Neverwinter on.  Suddenly, arrow rain down on the two from both sides.

Thagakh. Attack: 21 Damage: 6

Thagakh Attack: 17 Damage: 5

Ian Attack: 18 Damage: 6

Ian Attack: 7 Damage: 5

 Both attacks on Thagakh miss, but one arrow hits Ian solidly.

The half-orc reports what he found to the group

"Thagakh saw a wolf go to the woods. Probably with other wolves."

He mumbles to himself "Why did wolf show itself?"

He tries to think like a wolf to know what is its intentions.

Ian uses his racial trait Stone’s endurance to shake off the damage from the arrow.

Sprinting out of the woods from both sides of the road are 4 Gobin bearing scimitars.  There full action is taken by there approach.  They are next to Ian and Thagakh.

OOC: is there an initiative order yet?

OOC:  I was just going to ask about initiative.  Do you want us to reroll the ones before the wolf showed up, or keep those ones? 

Where is Akaas in relation to the Goblins?

Initiative groupings:(Akaas, Boghadair, Johnson) =+3. (Arafiel and Ian) = +2. (Thagakh then Tyrus then Kelli)

OOC:  Not all have been on today.  Anyone not joining in by tomorrow will be Lost from the group.

Akaas is in the woods to the north of the road (on the left).  About 40 feet from the horses.

Johnson is even with him on the south of the road.  (However, he is completely unseen.)

If Akaas doesn't realize the Goblins are attacking, he continues around in a flank.

johnson attempts to hit the furthest goblin on the right that he has a clear shot on.

Attack: 25 Damage: 16

he closes gets closer using a tree for cover but is considering trying to take one alive if possible.

Initiative:   12

Boghadair hums a little tune while turning goblins into pin cushions. 

OOC:   When my turn arrives, I stay on the wagon to keep line of sight to the enemy and shoot arrows until they all die.

Longbow Ranged Attack: 12; Damage: 4 piercing damage 

Johnson misses his attack but the Goblins did not see him.  Ian let’s out a booming yell announcing that he has been hit by an attack.  All characters are now aware of the battle.

Two of the four goblins lay dead on the battlefield.  One with a crushed chest.  The other nicely preserved for later. One goblin is badly damage with an arrow lodged in its side.  The four goblin seeing how large the group actually is turns to run for the woods to the north.
