The lumberjack Didros was talking to motions to the two lumberjacks playing dragonchess, who both stand up and walk over. Lumberjack 1 says "Well, we two can help you with this, the remaining choppers are gonna stay here to keep anybody further going through until we return to inform them the road is clear. If we get through to the other side of the road block, I can form a team in my own time to clear out the hobgoblins, but if we encounter them, let's just say they might not be so lucky." Lumberjack two smiles, and walks around the road block (such an impenetrable roadblock) and leads the group forwards, further across the road. He also turns around, looking at the fourth person who had joined you guys, Denagon, with confusion in his face. "Philip, check out this man, he wasn't here with the other three." Denagon, you were not there when the party arrived to converse with the lumberjacks, nor were you seen until the group got onto the road. They ask you simple questions like name, if you're part of this group, how come they didn't see you before now, and they also all the rest of the group if he's with you.
“Your inability to observe him until he chose to make himself known is a testament to his skill. We will gain a significant tactical advantage if Denagon is able to inform us of the number and position of the hobgoblins allowing us to formulate a strategy to take them unawares.”
Didros smiles and pats Woodchopper 1 on the back “Well we are here to help. As wood choppers you’ve done an admirable job of keeping people safe. Shall we proceed?”
Woodchopper 1 leads you all further through the road at hearing that Denagon is part of the group. He leads you till the road block is no longer visible, and the trees seem to crawl into the road. Everyone roll perception.
Antlan, you notice two hobgoblins behind your group sneak out from behind the group. You and the group get a surprise round on the hobgoblins, if you wish to fight (they definitely wish to fight).
Also, everybody roll initiative before anyone attacks.
"Wonderful then....Let us move forward as a group and clear the road" Didros looks to the others to see if they are in agreement
"Yeah, sure, if the woodchoppers want to come, let em." Holth says.
Denadron:
Denadron casually appears next to the group, nodding his head. "Sounds like a plan"
(Not me making a quick stat block for the choppers real quick just in case combat is required)
I'm just too goofy for this 😅
(Haha well their axes should be sharp)

"Yes, he is with us. He just went scouting ahead" Holth clears up.
“Your inability to observe him until he chose to make himself known is a testament to his skill. We will gain a significant tactical advantage if Denagon is able to inform us of the number and position of the hobgoblins allowing us to formulate a strategy to take them unawares.”
Denagon:
"Indeed gentlemen, I was just here checking you fine camp and defenses here, and of course marking sure there were no surprises."
Didros smiles and pats Woodchopper 1 on the back “Well we are here to help. As wood choppers you’ve done an admirable job of keeping people safe. Shall we proceed?”
“Perhaps we should leave the wagon behind and proceed on foot. Otherwise the present is as good a time to face these hobgoblins as any other.”
Denagon:
"Let us see when we get close, I can attempt another scouting mission."
I'm so sorry for not doing anything, I've had a busy week and I've been sick for a while. But without further ado.
I'm just too goofy for this 😅
Holth is ready to go whenever you are

Perception is 6.
Holth rolls initiative: 4
Well that's not a good number. I'll say that Holths axe gets stuck in its holder, resulting in him spending some time fumbling with the strap.
