Vespian expects treachery at any moment, so keeps to a state of heightened awareness.

Listen: 23
Spot: 18

Mukhallad blessfully ambles.

Quindil is enjoying the scenery, but isn't completely out to lunch yet.

Spot: 16
Listen: 10

Though Pello seems as distracted as Mukhallad, his ears nonetheless constantly, unconsciously searches the surrounding soundscape for anything of interest.

Spot: 11
Listen: 20

Vespian readies her Great Sword, just itchy to swing at something sneaky springing at them from out of the brush.

Gimuld readies himself, too, preparing for any sign that isn't friendly.

Quindil looks for a snack in the grass...
Wild Lore: 13
He samples an odd plant, chews, and grimaces.  Edible, but not exactly tasty.


Quindil Liahstia rolled 13 using 1d20+5. Wilderness Lore.

Most of the party hears something along the ridge to the left as you begin descent into a valley with a sparkling, bubbling steam cutting it's way through the center.  Vespian in the lead, notices both that a road, more nearly a trail, winds along generally parallel to the stream, and that there are four goblins trying to be sneaky, watching from where the party generally hears them rustling through the brush.

Gimuld sensing danger, trys to move into the shadows, near Vespian and Erdthar, and brush to be able to leap out of bush in a suprise attack. He spys a spot that looks promising and he makes his way forward.

Hide check: Gimuld Froking rolled 15 using 1d20+4.

No surprise on either side.  Initiatives please.

Vespian holds up a hand and motions towards the new gathering of Goblins, she then tries to sprint to cover behind the Popular trees. g22

Initiative: 6

Mukhallad hitches up his robe and sprints forward up with narrow west corrador that is free from bushes. (16d)

Quindil moves to 21h, drawing his bow and keeping a wary eye on the goblins.

Initiative:17
Quindil Liahstia rolled 17 using 1d20+3 [14]. Initiative.

Gimuld and Mukhallad, I have your actions, but can you roll initiative?

Right, init is this:
21:51, Today: Gimuld Froking rolled 6 using 1d20+3

Occ: Sorry got confused with the legend (good job though, btw) - Init 16

Spotting the goblins, Pello runs over the spells in his mind, and then doubtfully pulls out his crossbow.

"Now.. let's see if I can remember how to use this.." he mutters to himself and tries to his aim on one of goblins.

"Now what did that instructor say? Place your finger lightly on the trigger."

Pello does the move and suddently sees a bolt flying towards the goblins.

"Whoops."

OOC:
Initiative: 15

Attack: 21 (natural 19)
Crit?: 18
Damage: 1 (before crit)

Legend:

 sss: Slope.  15 ft. drop from square away from water to the stream, slope varies from a cliff to around 45 degrees
    Double cost to move through this square

    So left hand bank in row 1 is a DC18 balance check, row 4 left side is DC16, row 14 left side is DC12
 bbb: Brush. double cost to move through this square

Seeing their hidden position was spotted. The goblins known to the party darted off to the north.
Their quick small green forms blended into the brush, but for the most part, they were in such haste to get away that their movement was obvious.
(G1= 8 hide, G2= 8 hide, G3= 19 hide, G4= 7 hide, anyone trying to keep track make a spot - They were supposed to scatter somewhat - but looks like they paniced here - anyone making the DC8 can see all three in the open)
(Anyone not attempting the spot check - a free action, but you can't have your focus on the other group and try - loses them in the brush automatically)

As attention focused to the north, four more goblins suddenly popped up to the east, across the creek, and threw darts with deadly accuracy over the deep streambed.  Two darts hit Vespian in her shapely chest, but with so little force they fell to the ground, bent and useless without damaging the lively lass.  The proof of her fine chain shirt stopping the force of the small weapons.  (22,19 to hit, -4 for range, both miss).  Erdthar fare even better, the small missles land in the brush nowhere near him. (4,8 to hit, -4 for range, both miss badly)

The Party, for the most part, seemed intent in moving off after the flank force of diminuative foes, to the jeers of the Goblins at the far bank of the stream.

Since the goblins went first, and the hidden ones failed to hold their action, I'll give you a chance to change actions based on the new information.

Pello, your nearest target among the first four is 125 feet away, and if you fail your spot, he has 50% concealment for a 20% miss chance.

Seeing the new enemies, Vespian runs, 3x Movement to y,45  to where she can engage the other set of Goblins.

Checking his prior action Mukhallad merely trots to a40 and raises a shield spell facing northeast.

Vespian, please make a DC 14 blance going down the slope, and a DC 16 balance to go up the other side, if you fail either, you end your turn in the water at T44

Erdthar, not happy at the goblins firing darts at him, rushes toward the pair to the right, unfortunately, he trips, and falls face first in the cold, shallow stream at the base of the slope.


DC 12 balance to go down to the water: failed
Ending Position:  In water at U46

Vespian sprints down the bank, nimbly as any top heavy Gazelle, she crosses the water and charges up the next bank, only to slip, slide and end up on her well cushioned butt in the middle of the stream. Oh Bugger...,

Gimuld (instead of above action) trots back a bit to meet the Goblin leader. Gimuld raises his morningstar and attacks!

Gimuld moves to b47
Possible Damage: Gimuld Froking rolled 9 using 1d8+2. damage.
Attack Roll: Gimuld Froking rolled 16 using 1d20+3.
