The goblins are shocked, but don't panic. One sniper has been dropped by Spider, but the other remains, and he quickly and quietly dives into the bushes, where at least some of his foes loose sight of him.
"Cover!" the staff-wielder yells. The armored goblin rushes out of the brush and sweeps his spear at Spider's feat, knocking the half-orc down. The staff-wielder himself, meanwhile raises his arms, and hurls a burst of magic at Sound of Stone, which surrounds the thri-kreen like a swarm of stinging gnats. While Sound of Stone is not stuck in place, his mind tells him that moving will result in a world of pain.
The staff-wielder then moves behind his armored ally, but not before one of Murmur's leafy tendrils reaches out and strikes him, leaving a deep welt.
The dismounted rider whistles, and his mount, eying Murmur suspiciously, backs away around a tree, then thumps over to its master, who is quickly up and back in the saddle.
The other rider steers his mount up the stream a short ways, then wildly gallops at Zardi, his javelin not even coming close to the goliath.[sblock=Enemy Actions]

Goblin Tactics, as an immediate reaction.
For Staff goblin, and goblin snipers:
When the goblin is missed by a melee attack, the goblin can shift 1 square as an immediate reaction.
For Armored goblin:
As above, but the goblin also makes a melee basic attack as a part of the reaction.
For goblin riders:
when mounted and either the goblin or its mount is missed by a melee attack the goblin can shift itself and its mount 1 square as an immediate reaction.
Neither unmounted goblin riders nor the mount when the goblin isn't riding it have this ability.
The goblins will shift under the following circumstances.
1) there is a space the goblin can shift to that is out of melee range. (shift can't go into difficult terrain)
2) the goblin will not suffer an attack as a result of shifting (e.g. Pharodeys's spirit's attack)
3) the goblin has not already used this ability this round.
When you resolve your attacks if you miss a goblin with a melee attack, please resolve the shift, and let me know where the goblin shifts to.[/sblock][sblock=Controlling Carlotta]Any PC can take a standard, move, or minor action to have an NPC perform an action of the same (or a lesser) type. E.g., if you want Carlotta to use Tempest Assault, you spend a standard action. If you want her to move, you spend a move action. An NPC is limited to the usual number of actions each round (but those actions need not all be granted by the same PC). An NPC who has an immediate action can likewise only use it if a PC has an immediate action available to use on his/her behalf.
NPCs can take free actions and opportunity actions normally, without the direction of PCs. They are always considered to have their weapons in hand and don’t need to spend actions unsheathing them.
If left to her own devices, Carlotta will, if adjacent to an enemy, use a minor action to use Nature's Wrath to mark, then will use Warden's Fury as an immediate interrupt if the opportunity presents itself. If, on the other hand, she is not adjacent to an enemy, she will move so that she is.[/sblock][sblock=Carlotta]
