OOC: Reloading a crossbow doesn't provoke an AoO. Shooting it does.
Gideon jumps into the woods to your left. As he advances, he spots the bandit with the bow, an obvious goblinoid, probably Hobgoblin. The woodland hinders his movement, and though he's able to reach the archer, he's unable to strike. Only once he's close upon the archer, does he notice the archer is not alone, and another of his kind is waiting with a longsword in his hands.
Channeling Pelor's energy, Geryn sends forth divine blessings to himself and his comrades (Affecting all players).
Astatia takes advantage to Sashla's height to get a better overview of the area. From there she's able to spot the archer that's in melee with Gideon, but not the one with the longsword.
The goblinoid with the longsword moves into melee (Astatia can see him now) and strikes the halfling, inflicting 4 damage.
Col charges into the woods on your right, running for the voice. He spots the yelling goblinoid and advances, but not far enough to clash steel.
Raven is unable to see any of the bandits.
The goblinoid opposing Col moves in and attacks with his longsword, inflicting 5 damage to the gnome.
[Attack 18+6=24 Damage 3+3=6] Damien stumbles into the woodlands to his left, seeing both goblinoids and the halfling. Though the archer is blocked by the other goblinoid and the halfling, the one carrying the longsword is open to attacks (flanking position is out of reach) and receives a mighty blow from the prince, that leaves him staggering.
The goblinoid with the bow steps 5 foot away from Gideon and fires, missing him badly.
