Fulcra init: 18
Fulcra's first action will be to take shelter from the direction the arrows came, and then casts minor illusion. The ground around Azaka turns into loose dirt which slowly pushes out of the ground around her, covering her within a pile of dirt. He yells to Azaka, "Stay down, don't move!" In a lower voice he adds, "Assuming you can..."
Taman casts healing word on their guide, hoping to stabalize her so they don't lose her right off. He sends little Sabastian out to see if he can spot anything, then moves to a point he can look outside, but still get back into cover once he tries to spot anything out there. If he can see something, he shoots it with his crossbow...

Celtra will take a quick look outside trying to discern the direction of the attackers based on the position of Azaka and where the arrows had landed. If she spots anything that she can use for cover within 30 feet she'll move there and take up a defensive position holding her shield up.

To her deepest embarrassment, Cimeri was almost the last one out of the sleeping bag. Now she was scanning the the ground and the jungle (from the entrance to the Temple, remaining under as much cover as door frame could provide) in hope to catch any movement in that green wall surrounding them.

Once it is his turn Sabastian hops outside and starts looking around. He has a 50 feet movement, so should be able to move aorund fairly quickly.
Sabastian Perception: 23
Did Taman see anything when he looked outside?
Taman Perception: 16
Also, what do you mean by we don't know about the enemy? Didn't we just see our guide get filled with arrows, and wouldn't we know which direction those arrows came from?
[this is true; I wanted everyone to list their actions without waiting for me to respond with the enemies actions, because, since you only have a general idea of where they are, they might have already hidden/run away/etc. but that remains to be seen. Bryn?]
Bryn would try to scramble out of her sleeping bag as soon as the others react, but would get tangled up in the material, tripping on her way out. Finally she’d take a moment to gather herself to kick and shake the blanket off her feet. “Trap bag.” She’d growl at it before turning her attention back to the situation.
The halfgiant would begin a hum with a slight chant in Druidic. The eyes of her totem would glow a sparkly pink. The Druid would motion a hand towards the the exit and a flow of the magic from the eyes would travel. If one looked close enough, it would be in a misty shape of a unicorn.
Bonus Action: casting spirit totem of the Unicorn and placing it (hopefully) to include us and Azaka in a 30ft radius.
(Edit, I can move it 60ft, but it includes 30ft corrected my error above. Would prioritize us over Azaka if required would like to include her if possible)
Spirit Totem
As a bonus action, you can magically summon a spirit to a point you can see within 60 ft. that lasts for 1 minute (or until you're incapacitated). The spirit creates an aura in a 30-ft. radius around that point and can be moved up to 60 ft. as a bonus action. The spirit's aura effect depends on its type: Bear, Hawk, Unicorn
Unicorn Spirit. The unicorn spirit lends its protection to those nearby. You and your allies gain advantage on all ability checks made to detect creatures in the spirit’s aura. In addition, if you cast a spell using a spell slot that restores hit points to any creature inside or outside the aura, each creature of your choice in the aura also regains hit points equal to your druid level.
She’d then bring a finger to her lips. “Shh.” Bryn would snap her fingers, and with a pouf the halfgiant would ‘disappear’ in a pouf of what smelled like a fresh morning rain. A black panther appears in her stead.
Action: Casting wild shape into a black panther to stealth out and percept
Taman surges to the northern big toe of the temple sculpture, shouting to Azaka, who is 20 ft west of him and 5ft lower elevation, and with a flick of his hand divine motes of light fly to the guide; she growls in pain, trying to extricate an arrow from her knee. He risks a glance to the north, where the ugly, black feathered arrows came from; he sees two groups of olive-skinned, smallish humanoids ripping arrows from their quivers, fitting them to shortbows.
The closest group is directly north, past the animal pen, on a small hillock 40 – 50 ft away; two of the goblins use the tree on top of the hillock for half cover, the third crouches in the open to the side of them.
The second group of three goblins is to his northwest, about 60 ft away; the most direct path to them lies through the collapsed soldier tents [difficult ground]. They stand in the open without cover.
Taman looses a bolt at the north goblin not standing in cover and is rewarded with a grunt of pain and a curse, but the filthy thing still stands, reloading its bow; Taman sinks down into cover.
Celtra assesses the situation, hoisting her shield to chest height and leaps forward to the north, running on grass to the side of the soldier tents, sliding in the dirt to a crouch behind the only piece of cover: a ten foot square tent that still stands. She doesn’t perceive any other threats; she stands roughly 25 feet from the goblins on the hill to the north, and 35 feet from the goblins to the northwest.
A streak of white passes Taman and Celtra as Sebastian sprints down the steps of the temple, out and around the nearest command tent, taking a moment to glance north, and back into the temple. He communicates no new threats to Taman.
Fulcra speeds to Taman’s side, and with a gesture the earth around Azaka boils over her into a mound and she disappears from view.
Cimeri rushes to Fulcra’s southern side, risking a peek around him and over the instep of the statue; she sees no new threats in any direction.
Bryn’s totem glows and a unicorn issues forth, stamping its hoof and tossing its mane before trotting down the steps, standing in a position to aid all involved currently.
[Bryn: you have become the panther; do you wish to move out? Where? See description below and lmk, that will be the last action of the round]
[To the south of the temple-entrance-stairs, adjacent, are two lush jungle trees and underbrush. They meet the southern most command tent, which is 15 ft by 15 ft. The next piece of cover is the northern command tent, 15 by 15 ft, directly west of the temple stairs. Azaka (mound o’ dirt) is halfway between the stairs and the northern command tent. Those in the temple are 50 feet from the north goblins, but must travel a direct path to skirt the difficult ground of the tents; also, they are 90 ft from the northwest goblins if they skirt the south and west edges of the soldier tents; the direct path to them through the tents would cost 100 ft of movement. ]

Since Celtra was taking care of the northern group, Cimeri run south - by the way that allowed some cover. Once reaching that cove (hopefully she was able to move about 40ft) - she threw a dart at the closest attacker. Not so much in hope to wound the creature, but to attract it's attention - who knows, seen a single relatively not-so-scary target they might even run towards her.
Bryn would follow on the prowl after Cimeri and Fulcra. She'd duck into the lush jungle cover, sniffing out and calculating her best route to their attackers.
[If I understand the layout correctly, Bryn would also want to head south where there's most cover for her to get around. Essentially she'd want to work her way around to the half covered Goblins striking from there. She's hoping for a sneak attack/pounce opportunity. As a panther she can move 50ft, climb 40]
[We see Goblins G1 -> G6 at the top from left to right, three to the northwest, three to the north. Azaka is the black AZ. Taman is the blue T between the feet of the statue; he shot G4. Celtra is the red CL behind that larger tent. Fulcra is the Orange F next to Taman. Cimeri has run 40 ft west, the purple Ci, and needs LOS to G2 to throw the dart, which hit and killed it (yay!). Bryn (light blue) has run along the landing of the temple, jumped down between the animal pen and the ridge and slunk to a position behind the latrines. I'm hoping that approximates what everyone wanted to do?]
[I'm changing Cimeri and Bryn's initial actions to the above because, well, it just makes better sense; you would have done that instead of looking around, i'm assuming, after Taman and Fulcra had already done so.]
[I'm ruling that y'all were surprised, so goblin actions have happened for this turn already. They will act directly after Fulcra/Sebastian, so we can now get posts from Taman, Celtra, Fulcra, and Sebastian. Goblin 4 is wounded, Goblin 2 is down.]
OOC: "It's not you, it's me!" :) Seriously though, your description allowed us to act coherently for several pages, but at some point I always loose tracks without maps and begin to attack dead enemies or run in a wrong direction.
(As long as there is a map - blame anything on her, Cimeri can live with that guilt :) )
BTW: I realize I'm ignoring a few things like disadvantage on the dart throw for long range and stealth roll for Bryn in panther form; I'm willing to absorb those since the map was not well understood. We're here to have fun, after all.
