"It seems as if we have lost the element of surprise- let's see how much havoc we can wreak...," Tyrla said dryly, sounding more annoyed than frightened. "Any bets as to whether this is Sarsith and his dragon or Nurkernak?"

The group heads back up and towards the stairs they came from. Once they reach the outer walls, they see a lone goblin perched on top of the southern building.

"Finally, I get to see the pinkies who killed Koth. Nice to meet you. My name is Saarvith. Wyrmlord Saarvith. So, how'd you do him in? Did he scream?"
Currently not quite really in combat... although realistically there wouldn't be a 'surprise round' in this case. The goblin is positioned on the roof of the nearby building with a bow and arrow, but right now he just seems to be talking. Once again, you can start anywhere in the red outline.

There was no way that this meeting was not going to end in bloodshed- and Tyrla didn't want that blood to be hers, or her friends'. The only real question was whether there was any chance that they might get useful information from this goblinoid. She took a quick look around, scanning for the dragon that this fellow kept as a pet- just like ogres to have messed up the name, she decided.
Her temper was not known to be well-controlled, and in this case, it lasted only as long as it took her to look over their surroundings. It did not, after all seem like any of her more eloquent friends would want to negotiate here- this was a battle. She rasped out a few words in the goblin tongue, and allowed arcane fire to dance around the fingers of her right hand...
in Goblin: [sblock] "He screamed quite a bit- but not as much as you're going to." (Ready action for an eldritch blast at the first sign of aggression- either from the goblin, or the appearance of another foe) [/sblock]

Warren the halfling, HP 37/44, AC 25, Child of Shadows stance
Warren sighs. "Right, let's get this over with, then." he mutters.
Unless the others start conversing peacefully with the goblin, Warren executes a short half-turn with one leg outstretched, one arm pointing low and the other high, twisting shadows around him in a dark, writhing cloak. Then he dashes down the stairs and heads along the boardwalk towards the entrance of the other building.
If they do converse, he just does all this once someone makes a hostile move.
[sblock=ooc]Stance change to Child of Shadows, 20% concealment on rounds in which he moves 10+ feet, then a double-move.[/sblock]

He died miserably, Larian responds. He refused to admit that he was outmatched and the result was inevitable. Will you prove any wiser, Saarvith? We would much prefer a peaceful end to your activities here in Rhest. Even as he speaks, Larian is doing his best to keep an eye out for either of the two other enemies the ogres had mentioned. He readies his rod of extend, prepared to cast haste if the opportunity arises.
[sblock=ooc] If you all wait to move (I'm looking at you, Warren), I'll make you faster and more effective with Haste.
I'll start with cover from the southern wall, but still able to peer around the corner to talk to the goblin. [/sblock]

"A peaceful end to MY activities? What about you and your murderous vigilantism? You pinkskins always think you're better than a good goblin. What in avernus are you raiders doing out this far in this backwater hole? What, did the elves cry for help because my boys killed a few of them? Well they deserved it. I was minding my own business until they showed up."
As soon as Warren starts to move...
Avril:
[sblock]Sense Motive:Warren suddenly moving makes the goblins ear to ear smile just slightly more pronounced. You realize he wants Warren to run at him.[/sblock]
"Good riddance to Koth. He deserved to suffer." The goblin takes an almost absent-minded step backwards and to his right, allowing himself to fall off the roof with his arms outstretched. He simply falls, not allowing himself to be carried down by gravity.
A huge splash can be heard not far off, as a racing jet-black monster comes screaming out of the water from behind the tower, swooping in to snatch the goblin. With sudden ferocity, it grabs the Wyrmlord and in a coordinated move the dragon rolls 360 degrees while tossing the goblin just a couple feet into the air, and the rider shfits into position to land on the waiting saddle.
Witnessing this, Larian immediately recalls the quickest spell in his mind, haste.
A second newcome appears on the opposite side of the structure Saarvith was standing on, almost fading in from a chameleon-like invisibility and then releasing an Eldritch Blast against Tyrla in retaliation. (Not sure who Tyrla wants to call her redied action against? The dragon or the goblin? Either way this guy appears right after that.
Further, everyone hears three snake-like hisses nearby the building. Something else is out there.

"Kord shield us!"
Siobhan invoces a prayer of protection. She then gets some distance between herself and the rest of the group so that the dragon won't be able to breath on them all at once.
[sblock=OoC]Cast Mass Shield of Faith, granting everyone (I think no-one is more than 25ft from another) a +3 deflection bonus to AC.
Move to the bottom of the South stairs.[/sblock]

Tyrla curled her lip in a snarl of irritation- of course nothing was going to go smoothly. Even as she unleashed her arcane bolt, she realized their was another threat- or rather, several more.
OOC: Use the readied eldritch blast against the goblin. I presume the opposing warlock was just hiding really well, rather than actually invisible, so that See the Unseen is of no use. Figuring the goblin was more than 30 feet away, that is +9 ranged touch, 4d6 damage.
