Uhm, I'm still here, just really really not sure how to make my entrance in the IC thread. I mean, where did we meet, how long have we been travelling together? Do we know anything about the other characters?

You've met the others over the last day or two (they're clearly passing through, but this is the last major town -- and not very major at that -- before Winterhaven); if you want to have tried to learn more about the others, you can make a streetwise check to pick some things up.

As par as I am assuming, we were sent to this town, Lakeside, to meet with others journeying to winterhaven for various problems. It's been left to us to assume or make it up. You can either be at the table already and sort of just been quiet or you can narrate an entrance.

Pretty much. Lakeside's the nearest town of any size to Winterhaven, and most people would come through it on the way (a Lyrandar sailor might not, figuring it's faster to sail along Karrn Bay and cross overland, but then you're pretty much traveling through wilderness most of the way.

Despite my best efforts, no one ever seems to do much with pre-game 'getting to know you' spots I try to set up. Maybe sometime I'll just skip them.

Anyway, I'm going to assume you guys finish making any travel arrangements and move on. Do you want to set up a marching order?

Ahh sorry. I somehow missed the launch of the IC thread and was still waiting for the GO!

I'm reading into it now.

Not quite too late (mostly because my tabletop game's on Thursday, so there won't be any combat this evening).

You can post now; assume you've been with them all along, though you may want to include a bit of flashback that says how you got here.

I am kinda assuming (i) this is a combat encounter and (ii) that this is a surprise round with only me?

Almost. Darren's extraordinarily good perception roll means he saw the same Kobolds you did, and so can act as well. The other Kobolds rolled better for Stealth, so no one's passive perception was good enough to see any of them.
