In a nervous whisper, Gerrack says "I-If we really are trying to draw them out, we must hurt the guard enough that he screams for aid without killing him instantly. W-We should spread out before we attack the guard; I a-also would think it w-wise to start out with ranged weaponry or s-spells so we can ambush those who come out of the cave to investigate. We c-can use the riverbank as a defense - no matter how shallow or deep it the w-water is, the goblins will have to cross it to reach us, and be hindered by the flowing water, which can be either frozen or electrified, should a mage have such a spell."
"How powerful of mages do you think we have?" Misty hisses with a shake of her head. "Safe to say we cannot freeze or charge the water enough to make a difference. I think we should just take out this guard and hit the ones inside before they can sound the alarm."
“There is wisdom in that Misty. Let’s just get a move on. I’d say range attacks at the same time to be safe. Since we have the element of surprise it should work out to our advantage.”
Gimble prepares his hand crossbow and takes aim waiting for the group to strike.

Stealth:3
Perception: 22
Conrick is looking a bit fidgety at this point, starting to crack his knuckles and stretch his wrists preparing and limbering up before the imminent fight. “If it’s powerful magic you’re searching for I can provide some backup from afar. Let’s take use of the element of surprise to the fullest, shall we?”
Conrick is going to prepare an action of a Chill Touch spell at the guard at the front. The trigger will be once the party gives the go ahead to start the brawl. Right now his hands are starting to get frosty as he visualizes attacking his target.
Nodding at the others, Gerrack falls silent and moves a little way off to the northmost edge of the treeline and prepares his darts, waiting to throw one and take to the air as soon as the battle starts.
Gniff bites his lip as he stares out at the lone goblin, he quietly stows the bow on his back and takes up his spear in two hands. He is not an aggressive halfling at heart but these creatures have been scaring and abusing the wildlife a little too much but not enough for Gniff to be bloodthirsty. He squeezes the haft with both his hands and nods knowingly that he would have to perform a decisive strike. He bounds from the woods and closes the distance and attempts to hit the goblin with a two handed non lethal strike with his spear, hoping he has made the right decision. His hope that he will give these pests something to think about for later.
Gerrack, prepares to throw a dart at the goblin the moment his group decides to attack, then all of a sudden he sees a halfling come out of the bushes and attacks the goblin with a spear. You hear the goblin scream in pain.
Gimble, You wait for the group to act, but you get over eager and loose a crossbow bolt, sadly it misses its target. While watching the bolt fly through the air, you hear a scream you turn to see the goblin being attacked by something.
Finnian, you get your sling ready to fire, while waiting for your party to act, you watch as this halfling comes out of the bushes and attacks the goblin with a spear. You hear the goblin scream in pain.
Hati, You focus on being stealthy, you hear a scream out of nowhere.
Conrick, You focus on being stealthy, while doing so you do watch as a halfling comes out of the bushes and attacks the goblin with a spear. You hear the goblin scream in pain.
Misty, readying her crossbow, waiting for some sort of signal from the group. She hears a scream and then turns to see something attacking the goblin.
Edmond, gets his crossbow ready, while doing so he hears a scream, turning to see, the goblin is under attack by a halfling.
(OOC: @ everyone, roll initiative [unless you already have.])

Initiative: 13
Attack (with advantage): 20 Damage: 3
Attack (without advantage): 15 Damage: 10
(Gosh, I hope it is without advantage lol!)
Decision made, Misty moves forward far enough to get a crossbow shot off. She will loose when everyone is ready for the attack.
Finnian takes up his position within range of the goblin, and prepares to sling his stone when the party makes its move.
Perception 9 in case Edmond needs it to see the guard still
to the Fated 8 - I'd like to start proceedings from right here if you guys don't mind. I have a clear shot from here.
He sets his pack down slowly, using it to brace his crossbow, ready to switch to shield and hammer if the Goblins get to the stream.
