OOC - Remember that the two groups are not aware of each other. Whatever you are planning you need to do it with whatever you have in your group. Also, remember how far your group is away from the scene on the road.

As they study the group fiends they note that they appear to be a lightly armored advance party. They wear light armor and carry curved swords and daggers. About half of the number carry shortbows.

One of their number, who appears to be the butcher for the group, hacks apart a screaming human woman with a lethal looking cleaver as others stuff the morsels into sacks.

The mounted woman nods, and reaches for the helmet hanging from the side of her steed, settling it on nice using her hood as a cushion, then reaching for the weapons strapped to the side.

The group on the road begins moving towards the caravan at a trot. One rider leans down to help the kender up to a stirrup where he can stand.

A bolt of silver and blue coursed towards the hobgoblin. For an instant a lone figure can be seen at its origin.

The kender positions himself in the stirrup, working to brandish his hopec correctly in his hands as he kept steady.

Alfred jumps to his feet, then quickly and quietly rushes multiple meters while drawing his bow to be able to shoot. He stays in the shadows.

The riders on the road approach at a trot.  As they near the firelight, one kicks their horse into a gallop while the other slows and enters the edge of the firelight.  As the other continues to charge, One pulls up and fires two quick shots at the Hobgoblin.

PL...

The short figure bounded to the ground, brandishing a small stone in a hopec sling staff, which he fired at the same hobgoblin.

Out of the darkness suddenly thunders an armored woman mounted on a warhorse with lance and shield. Wordlessly she drives forward toward the goblin butcher (G1). Arrows and sling stones streak from the darkness down the trail.

At the same time from the wood to the north a blue lance of magic streaks forth striking the mounted hobgoblin accompanied by a rain of arrows.

OOC - I working up the combat damage etc. Please wait until I say New Round before you post again.

Hearing the oncoming knight, the hobgoblin is not surprised. He wheels his burdened pony around and moves rapidly away from the charging knight yelling in their vulgar tongue clearly trying to rally the goblins to defend him.  Virtually all of the goblins are completely taken by surprise. Those who are not, turn to flee with their leader.

The knights lance tears into the back of the goblin butcher. A sling stone strikes the hobgoblin in the back of the head almost knocking the beast from his saddle . One of the arrows from the road strikes the hobgoblin in the back but it is deflected by the beasts mail armor.

The arcane bolt from the woods strikes the hobgoblin and it roars in agony but stays on his mount.

The knight drives her warhorse forward over the butcher and drives it down into the mud and blood of the road. The goblins leg is crushed under the hooves of the warhorse.

OOC - New round. As Nick said please make a few extra rolls for possible crits, stuns or Toughness resistance rolls etc. I will use them in the order rolled. Also, make sure you identify the target of your attacks in the dice roller before you roll. If it is not obvious to me you may have to reroll with an identified target. It will not take me so long again now that I have my tables set up.

Another silver blue lance thunders from among the trees.

"One!"  Solara's voice rung out, the butcher crumpling to the ground between her lance and her mount's crushing hooves.  She whirled around, guiding her steed with her legs as the horse moved on past the stricken goblin, leaning forward and shoving her lance towards it.

And then in a feat of impressive strength and fortitude, recalled the lance and drove it forward a second time.

"Flee or fight!"  She called out.  "Your banditry will no longer go unpunished!"

Alfred, staying in the dense brush, shoots at the hobgoblin boss.

The kender plucked a stone from the ground and launched it from the sling on his hopec. He shouted after the goblins: "Back! Back!"

PL...

Ocelot targets a goblin near the captives while guiding his horse around with his knees.

The hobgoblin drives his pony into a mad gallop, disappearing down the road into the darkness.

A sling stone sails into the melee striking one of the goblins in the arm (G5).


An arrow streaks out of the darkness and is driven deep into the shoulder of one of the goblins (G4) guarding the prisoners.

Still surprised, Solara lances one of the goblins (G5) before it has even drawn its sword. Her lance is driven through the things shoulder crippling it permanently. It collapses screaming and in agony. 

From the darkness of the treeline, a lance of blue magic strikes the other nearby goblin (G3) in the chest. The goblin lets out a roar of pain tinged with terror. The knights war hourse tramples down the goblin (G3) driving it into the mud of the road crushing its chest under its massive weight and killing it.

Arrows streak from the tree line striking all around the combatants but not hitting anything.

Shaking off the surprise of the attack, the goblins are slow to respond to their commanders orders. They were confronted by unknown and unseen enemies including wizards. Goblins were not known for their courage unless they outnumbered their foes by a large margin. Some drew bows (odd numbers) and arrows while others drew swords (even numbers) and readied their small battered shields.

One (G5) flees from Solara after his arm is so badly injured. As turns to run Solara drives her lance once again into the fleeing fiends back driving it through its arm and into its chest killing it.

OOC - New round. Please everyone put all the required information in the dice roller because it takes me longer if I have to go look up information. Id the target of the attack, bonus, and the base target number. It just makes it alot easier and faster for me so I dont have to jump around or try and figure out what everyone is doing etc.

Solara had never been one to shy away from a little danger, especially if it was for a good cause--and given how the guards of the prisoners seem to have forgotten about the survivors they had in their power, in favor of drawing bows and lining up on her...

Well, she'd call that a win.

She whirls in her seat, glancing briefly at the group massing up off to the side.  More of them than she was comfortable with--truth be told.  But she needed to draw their attention for at least a little ways longer.

So with a wordless cry, she spurred her steed back into action, responding to the challenge of the bow-goblins by plunging through them, her lance reaping a terrible toll on the first of their number, even as she took advantage of the greater mass of her mount to force her way to the side of their formation, putting her back to the road behind--and more importantly, keeping the greater mass of foes in the corner of her eye.

No sense getting cornered if she didn't have to.

"DAMNATION" Cursing can be heard from the right flank.

The kender rushed ahead (towards G13/G14), turning right into the brush after a short dash.

The rider in the rode directs his horse towards the 3 goblins going against Solara.
