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.</blockquote>
