"How can that be?!" Chad says to Lilith's statement. Chad rushes toward Lilith as Zack says not to just a moment too late. Chad will stand with Lilith and look over the horses. Chad will look over the horses for the cause of death. "Where do you think Gundren and Sildar went?" Chad turns back as Zack begins to yell at them. "We should head back Lilith. This is not good. Not good at all." Chad will pull out his wand and begin to walk backward from the horses to the cart trying to watch for movement. 

Perception: 20

Nadia was genuinely enjoying the others stories, grinning from ear to ear at Lilith's and nodding sagely at Zack's (Makes sense why he was there before then...), but her grin falls from her face when the elf had mentioned something about some mounds, running off before she could protest. Nadia stays with the cart, readying and arrow if she sees anything move around them.

Perception: 11

Gribz

Gribz will draw his Scimitars and join Lilith next to the dead horses, keeping his head down and scanning the area for threats "Lilith! We need to get back to the group. Whatever did this might still be in the area!" 

Perception: 5

Everyone's eyes are focused on the two dead horses on the road. Within seconds of each other, you All see some movement from behind the furthest horse as a small green hand reaches up from underneath a small ground coloured material. Chad, Lilith, Nadia and Blighttree all have their whits about them as they see a small shape peering at them from behind a large rock to the south on the right hand side of the trail. It's a small goblin with some sort of beast skull helmet on and a short red cloak wrapped around its neck. It shouts out "Lik meht! Tel enon evil!" As this goblin shouts out, Chad manages to spot some further movement as he sees an additional two goblin, one on either side of the road, making their way through the trees.

Spoiler for those that speak Goblin:

All players apart from Chad are under the [tag] Surprised [/tag] condition for the first round of combat. The steep embankment on the north side of the road is 5ft high, the trees offer half cover and are difficult terrain. The cart is movable as long as there is a driver. It will take an action to move it 15ft. The horses offer 1/2 cover to small players and creatures.

The goblin with the skull helmet dashes out with an old, slightly ruined Shortbow and aims towards Lilith. He releases and an arrow with black feathers fires from it. It glides past Lilith and narrowly misses. 

Chad will attack the goblin on his side of the road, targeting goblin 3. "Get back you vile beasts!" Chad says in goblin. A green bout flame shoots from the tip of his wand.

Attack: 17 Damage: 3 

Chad aims for the nearest target with his wand as an incredible green light shoots out of the end towards the trees. The flame hits the goblin and begins to smoulder the red tunic of the goblin, burning the skin underneath.

The goblin to the south and the one behind the horses both run towards Lilith with rusted scimitar blades, they swing towards her. One manages to slash at her arm before turning and running back into the trees. Lilith sees the other blade coming and manages to counter it, the goblin stays to try and get another hit. At the same time, an arrow flies out of the northern trees and lands in Chad's left thigh.

Round 2 of Combat:

Nadia, Zack, Lilith. Goblin Boss.Chad, Blighttree. Goblins. Gribz.

Chad still has 4HP due to Zack’s inspiring words. 

Lilith

Action: Mace - Goblin 2, To Hit - 10, Damage: 8 Bludgeoning

Lilith notices just too late as the Goblins appear from hiding and is surprised as they rush forward and slash at her. One manages to get a hit in but runs away before she manages to get a her own hit in and so goes for a strike against the goblin that is still next to her.

(OOC - If it dies, Lilith will move from G9 to L11)

(OOC - Uh. I didn't manipulate rolls btw? I just got rid of one cuz Chad was still conscious)

With her mace in her hand Lilith takes a swing towards the goblin as it makes contact with the goblins cheek. With its face half caved in, the goblin looks at you through one eye and shows a smile of sharp crooked teeth. 

(OOC - That’s fine) 

Lilith, Nadia, Zack. Goblin Boss. Chad, Blighttree. Goblin 1, Goblin 2, Goblin 3. Gribz. 

“Pedazos de mierda.” Nadia growls, irritated at how she was obvious to the ambush.

Movement - A8 to F10

Action - Longbow - Attack: 18 Damage: 9 on Goblin 2

((Ooc: Undercommon translation - Pieces of shit))

Nadia dashes forward with her bow and fires towards the now deformed goblin. The arrow sinks into its right shoulder as it lets out a cry of pain,  barely living it reaches up with its left hand and snaps the arrow, leaving the end still embedded in the skin.

Lilith, Nadia, Zack. Goblin Boss. Chad, Blighttree. Goblin 1, Goblin 2, Goblin 3. Gribz.
