Verran cautiously and quietly moves a little bit closer to where the rustle is coming from. Her sling is still out and loaded, and she stops about 30 feet away.

Rowan arrives at Tiki's side to find the corpse of a goblin. Its body is hidden amongst some ferns besise the fallen pine. It is no more then a day or two dead and the fatal blow appears to be two arrows buried in its chest.
Verran moves closer to where Tiki and Rowan are. From this new vantage point she spots alittle bit of movement out of the corner of her eye. Verran focuses on the area where she thought she saw something but there is nothing there.
The silence of the forest is suddenly broken by the blast of a horn. Its deep hollow tone moans through the trees north of the caravan. A second blast slighly higher pitched answers the first horn. The taskmaster's shoulders sink... "Prepare to defend the caravan!" At first you see just one or two goblins running towards your position... Then there are three... five... dozens... the entire forest crawls with the forms of these small creatures.
They are almost upon Rowan and Tiki... it will not be long before the green skinned horde will be at the wagons.
[sblock=OOC]Goblin attackers are about 120 feet from wagons and about 70 feet from Rowan. Their numbers are impossible to tell at this point.[/sblock]

Thrang Hymnir, gnome sorcerer, HP 7/7, AC 17 (touch 13)
Watching his fellows check out the problem on the road nearby, Thrang just keeps ready for any signs of danger. He can't help with any barriers that might be in the way, but when the taskmaster calls out, Thrang springs forward to see where this new threat is coming from!
Moving a bit closer to the front, Thrang checks his heavy crossbow to make sure a bolt is secured on the stock. He also mutters some deep, throaty words of magic, incanting a spell of personal defense; feeling the strands of magic tug at his blood, and gesturing to pull those strings into place as a protective sheath.
[sblock=ooc]Moving 10 feet closer to the front of the caravan, and casting Mage Armor on himself. Improves his AC from 13 to 17.[/sblock]

Thalmarose Oberith, Grey Elf Evoker, hp 8/8, AC 22, (touch 18)
Even as the surly gnome starts to move his hands, The grey elf's free hand mimics the exact same motion glowing blue, and his eyes flash like molten gold for a moment before fading back to normal (mage armor). "This probably won't work, but it's what the magic commands." Then he will hunker down amongst the cargo in the wagon for some partial cover.

"Tiki, Defend the caravan!" Rowan shouts to Tiki as she launches a bullet from her sling at the nearest of the goblins. After her shot she makes her way towards one of the wagons to gain a bit of cover.
[sblock=details]AC 18; Command Tiki to defend (free action); Attack (Sling +6, 1d3, 20/x2) (standard action), then move 30ft. towards the nearest wagon (move action).[/sblock]

Verran is backing up towards the carravan so as to not be part of the melee. Her sling is firing at the first goblin who comes into range.

The war cries of goblins echo through the woods, the dull moaning of their horns ever present in the background. It is obvious to all that the rumour of the goblin threat in the Dim Forest is not just a rumour.
Rowan and Verran's slings both find their marks falling two charging goblins. Their bodies are overrun by their green skinned allies. The goblin charge continues and Rowan, Verran and Tiki have reached the caravan. The goblin raiders are less then 50 feet from the wagons now and many guardsmen loose ranged weapons as they approach.
[sblock=OOC]Rowan +6 Sling - Roll: 20 = 26, Threat confirmation roll 12+6 = 18 confirmed, Damage: 5
Verran +7 Sling - Roll: 11 = 18, Damage: 3[/sblock] -- New Round everyone may take their next actions! --

Thrang moves a bit closer to where his comrades are, but not too close to the front line yet. He takes aim with his gnomish heavy crossbow once he gets to a slightly better position to fire from, and tries to fell a goblin with a bolt from the small, mechanical engine of death. Or so he'd like to think of it.
(ooc: just moving closer to the front, but staying at least 15 feet behind the front line for now, then firing a shot.)

Rowan slinks behind one of the wagons while she loads another round, loosing it the second it is loaded, hoping for another successful hit.
[sblock=details]
AC 22 (with cover); ranged attack (Sling +6, 1d3, 20/x2)
If getting behind a wagon only costs a 5-foot step, then Rowan will load her sling as a move action, and attack as a standard action.
If taking cover costs more than a 5-foot step, Rowan will use a double move action to take cover behind a wagon and to load her sling; she'll attack next round.[/sblock]
