Again leading the group and sneaking forward by himself, Hunter moves cautiously towards the half collapsed palisade. Just as he gets too a good angle to peek inside he hears a loud growling bark of alarm and a large black wolf leaps out for cover and jumps at him ready to strike!!!
Meanwhile, from within the old homestead someone shouts in goblin and more surprised growls and barks can be heard...

As neither of you are surprised Hunter can roll initiative...
Black Wolf [roll0].
The rest of the group is two rounds of Dashing away I would think (that's only like a 120ft back). unless you think you might have been closer?
Everyone can roll initiative and if you have Ranged attacks, etc. you can act next round (unless your Passive Perception is at least a 16)
Lucious is quick to act as his blade has been thirsting for blood. He moves forward 30 feet hexing the beast as he moves. As he stops he points at the fowl creature and a beam fires from his fingertips scoring a hit.
The large wolf bites at Hunter who is barely able to ward the creature off with his rapier. The rest of the company is somewhat surprised but the sudden animals appearance and attack as Hunter responds...
GM:
Black wolf attacks first Attack and damage if it hits: 1D20+3 = [9]+3 = 12; 1D8+1 = [4]+1 = 5.
Hunter's Action next (take your full round).
I use group Initiatives normally so we compare all the hero's Initiatives to the badguys, whoever has the highest, everyone goes on that side first and the other side all goes.
So Goblins Initiative: 1D20+2 = [17]+2 = 19
Once I see everyone's roll we will move onto Round 2
Dodging out of the way of wolf’s attack, Hunter smiled. He had gotten lucky and hopefully his luck would hold until his allies arrived, he thought to himself as he attempted to plundge his rapier into the snarling black wolf.
Hunter's stab causes the wolf to bark back in pain and then growls with some inner hatred at him!!! Hunter hears more shouts and through a space in the palisade seeing at least two or three goblins jumping onto the backs of more black wolves...
