"Two of them," Jack grunts, slipping off his horse and heading obliquely towards the nearest cover en route to their attackers. His axe comes easily to hand as he moves.
"No chance, little gobs!" he roars. "Cower - it is men you face!"

Bendyn touches his heels lightly to his horse's flanks, and it leaps forwards. Bendyn spears his lance into the turf and pulls his crossbow from his back. The horse covers the 50 feet or so to the trees quickly and comes to a halt, kicking clumps of dirt and grass into the air in front of it. Bendyn swings lightly form his horse's back, but his dismount is a little awkward and Bendyn stumbles momentarily before regaining his balance. Crossbow in hand, Bendyn throws himself behind the cover of a tree to load the weapon.
The attackers are about 20 feet into the trees, crouched behind a large fallen branch. The are angrily arguing among themselves in their own language. And this time, although the accent and pronunciation are a little different to what he is familiar with, Bendyn recognises it.
Bendyn: [sblock]Draconic. Which would mean the attackers aren't goblins if the lore Bendyn has picked up is worth anything. It would make them Kobolds.[/sblock]
Jack slips from his pony and begins to hustle across the clearing, drawing his axe as he goes. He makes to the edge of the trees and pulls up against a tree, about 10-15 feet to the left of where the attacker's lurk. He can just make out the small figures through the trees. They are crouching down behind a fallen branch, frantically reloading or grabbing up spears, and arguing about something. They don't sound like goblins.
ooc: Imagine a clock face. An oval clock face I suppose, wider than it is high. The characters were a little to the left of centre at the start of the round. Jack is at about 1 o'clock, in the trees. The attackers are at about 2 o'clock, also in the trees. Bendyn is at about 2 o'clock as well, just outside the trees. The path leaves the clearing at about 3 o'clock.

ooc: Sorry Scotley, I wasn't real clear there. They are arguing as they reload crossbows, grab spears, that sort of thing. And they are aware of Bendyn and thee others.
BTW, don't have a crossbow listed on your character sheet. Just noticed when I went to chheck the bonuses. Daggar? Javlin?

"Well, now," Jack calls. "Guess you ain't goblins after all. And I reckon that means you're the ones responsible for those goblin heads back there. Which means you're invaders, and trespassers, and murderers, and fair game."
"All right, troops!" he bellows to the squadron of village militia who might or might not be hiding really well in the woods nearby. "Open season on shorties! Araq, take second squad and cut off the line of retreat. Mal, hit 'em in the flank."
Without leaving cover of his tree, he keeps an ear out for activity from the not-gobs.

Casparan
Casparan, never really one for riding at the best of times, decide that if there is going to be a fight, he would rather be on foot. He slips off his pony and runs down the length of the track until it brings him into the trees.
"I've got the right side covered!" he shouts as he goes.
Like Jack, he pulls up alongside a convenient tree.

OOC: Okay, in that case Bendyn too will use a tree for cover and fire. The crossbow was the magic item of a now departed character that Bendyn has been using for some time. Since I appearently didn't add it to his RG post I can drop it, or if you read back in the IC a bit and agree he has it I'll add it. Assuming he doesn't have it then he'll toss a javelin.
OOC2: It is on the sheet "crystal light crossbow" under "gear from fallen comrads". I never put the stats on since he plans to return it to the family.
