anyone who hears would see he is across the road near the treeline about 70 feet away.

Norgim nods to Johan and continues on his way slowly towards the Halflings, still listening to Johan’s tale about the fiend. As he approaches the Halflings he gives them a smile and a wink, assuring them that their toils are soon to be over…….driver8 said:

Norgim stops dead in his tracks. His friendly smile, now contorted with concern, issues forth “Ready yerselves! By Moradins hammer!!” He pulls out and readies “Shields Bane” his trusted battleaxe, and gives a quick look around to make sure that every one is doing the same as he sets off towards the cry as fast as he can...

Yondo
Yondo, momentarily enthralled by Drusilla's tale, stirs himself at the sound of Fatcoin's cries. Making sure his dagger is still secured in its sheath, he quickly retrieves and loads his crossbow, steeling himself for battle.
He quickly surveys the area in the direction of the commotion, looking for signs of the enemy's strength and intentions. Depending on what he sees and how far away the enemies are, he will either rush after his companions to provide supporting fire or take cover to guard the camp.
"Ready yourselves for battle!" he cries, in case anyone didn't hear Fatcoin's warning.

As Fatcoin backpedals away, the treeline comes alive with a howl. The howl is answered by another, and then another as he retreats back toward the party. But nothing emerges from the forest.
Vergart, Norgim and James rush toward Fatcoin meeting him just outside the clearing. As they approach, Norgim notices Ursula running beside him like a hound to the hunt.
As Yondo takes up position with his crossbow, he can hear the indignant voice of Johan.
"This is outrageous!" he shouts, his voice becoming shrill, "We've travelled the Viscounty for three years and have not been molested by a single beast, monster or highwayman..outrageous!"
The halflings and Telion scamper toward the wagon, and only Drusilla stands nearby, unmoving and seemingly unconcerned.
The howls grow louder as Fatcoin's goblins, two of them to be exact, erupt from the treeline in a shower of broken branches and strewn leaves. Both are identical looking: grey- green skin,bareheaded with ragged leather armor and small shields. Symbols can be seen on the shileds as the goblins rush forward-crude orange handprints which haphazardly decorate the shield fronts.
As the goblins pursue after Fatcoin, they wave their weapons- a short sword for one, an axe for another, -over their heads, howling loudly.
Then, behind the goblins, two more forms appear out from the cover of the trees, howling. Two large beasts, wolf-like but larger, with vicious maws and cruel eyes emerge,running hard.
The creatures split up, one veering to the left, the other the right of the goblins who continue ahead. As these beasts run one cries out in Common, "Run, run, fools, death comes now! We worgs now come!"
Initiative:
Norgim
Colm
Goblins (2)
Fatcoin
Yondo
Vergart
James
Worgs (2)
OOC:The goblins are about 20 feet from Fatcoin who the closest to the enemy and outside the stand of trees wherethe camp is located. The worgs are almost even with the goblins but are on the goblin's flanks. The red arrows on the attached map shows their position and paths.
Also combat is a little different from 3E. A round lasts 10 seconds. A PC can move up to one half their move rate and still act (ie attack, cast a spell, use an ability, etc). Using a ready item or weapon-drawing a sword or arrow does not count as an action. A PC moving his full rate cant attack but can jog (move rate x2), or run (move rate x4).

Norgim Soulforge Pal 2
Norgim, thankful for his new ally’s aid, rushes off toward the sharp-tongued worg with his axe held high. "Some aid with the goblin's, we'll take the flanks!!"
As Norgim runs toward the worg he shouts, “Aye, death comes ye naughty doggy, and it’s yer own!!” swinging his axe at the first opportunity.

"Pitiful vermin," Colm shouts towards the goblins, withdrawing a dart from a small pouch at his waist.
(( With my other action (if I get one, that is) I'll pull out my morningstar. ))

Yondo
"Either pick up a weapon or take cover and stay out of the way!" Yondo yells, hearing Johan's outburst.
With a curious glance at Drusilla, who doesn't seem to be concerned, he will take a shot at the first enemy that comes within range, provided he has a clear shot and none of his companions are in the way. If there is no clear shot, he will hold his ground and defend the camp, taking shots if and when he is able without putting any allies in danger.
If any enemies get within 20 feet and are coming after him, he will discard his crossbow and draw his dagger.
