The Kobold is nearly quick enough to pull it's leg out of the loop of chain before it is yanked tight, but an elongated claw snags in a link at the last possible moment and the creature's feet are whipped out from under it.
(Dex based resist trip roll:1d20+2=21 Please check Tuk's position. L12 is next to Thrindar, not a kobold.))

John tannerson ac 12, location H,9 hit points 2/4
John is hit most severly by the bolt. He knows he needs to help as much as possible as fast as possible. the ambush line is well placed and well organized. Not a good sign for the party of green heros. He knows he has been easily hit once and that his last spell was quickly disrupted during the chaos. he makes a split second decision. He moves to I 9 and draws his cross bow and a bolt. (move action)
Grok realizes that not engaging the enemy will quickly drain Pelors favor for the day. He cannot hop to keep up with the damage being dealt by the multitude of kobolds that managed to surprise them.
Gripping his mace tightly, Grok rushes off into combat, charging the little beasties.
OOC:
Grok will move to H5 which should be 40' movement for him which is double. If I'm incorrect and he can actually make it to the kobold at I3, he'll charge the bugger and swing.

If it is not too late Jakobee will use his unused move action to step behind Scrag/Grok for cover after blasting at the kobolds.
Ok, but let's limit retro-actions.

Please post combat actions in order of initiative. It makes it easier for me to keep track of things.
Hopefully future combats will flow smoother as I get a system going.
Battle Map updated for Thrindar and Jakobee.
Next Action: Scrag
Scrag's axe connects with the kobold with shocking speed. The slash blasts its way through the kobold's ribs and up through it's body to exit the shoulder, sending the two pieces of kobold flying with the momentum of the charge. Nearby enemies are treated to chunky and stringy bits of their brother landing on them.
Next up: Tuk
Updated the battlemap, now showing cover and improved colors to make them more easily distinguished. Guessing at where Rosalia went, so please let me know if it needs changed. I can't quite get her to cover with one action unless she runs. Can she run in a straight line and then attack? I think so, will have to check to be sure. If she does get to cover, it will be adjacent to a kobold. I'll leave her at 30' from the trail till we get it figured out.
Tuk advances a step (M0) makes his chains sing, sending it's sharpened spikes to cut and rip the kobold behind the one he has already triped. "Die" the grim man sentences.
OOC: Using the reach to get to the Kobold in O1 I think. It's not quite clear which Kobold is in which square. I'm assuming there's one at n1 and the other at o1.
Tuk chain attack: 18 vs AC for 7 dmg.

Tuk's chain whips around the kobold's arm, and when yanked, the sharp chains circumscribe an ever tightening ring of destruction and the creature's arm comes off in the last few links. The creature falls dead almost immediately from shock and blood loss.
OOC: Maddmic, H5 and I3 are just open grass, not near anything. The kobolds are in coordinates N through T and 2 through 6. Can you check the map again, I'm not sure what you are intending. I'm going to edit the previous post's map and make Grok's color a bit easier to see against the background. It's been bugging me anyways.

OOC:
Grok will move to P8. which should be 40' movement. I posted his actions earlier because I was going to be away from my PC all day. I'd rather not keep you guys waiting on me.

Rosalia draws another arrow from her quiver. She had got them for a good price. Euan, the fletcher, always liked her. And his arrows were light and stiff.
She saw her companions assault the kobolds, fearless as they were. Perhaps having a troll at their side was helping...
She aimed at the same kobold but this time her arrow bounced off the tree that he used as cover!

Roderic's blade whistles over the head of the shorter creature and it grin's wickedly back up at him while it continues loading it's crossbow...
Rosalia's arrow manages to hit the only taller bush in the area that some might call a tree. (But only by torturing poor, innocent little semantics.)
OOC: Sorry, I'm a bit confused by some people's actions. There was a surprise round where the kobolds attacked. Then we went through round 1 and now we are at the beginning of round 2 where Rosalia has just acted? So the only one of us that should have done two rounds worth of actions would be Rosalia?
