The goblin chooses that moment to look right in your direction, and side-steps your throw. Your stone whistles past, landing in a brush about 30' past it.OOC: Initiative: [roll0].
Surprise round: [roll1]. If successful, damage = [roll2].
IC:
Overton in the brush spies the goblins ahead. He reaches into his pocket and takes out three of the smooth stones he carries there, blows on them with a small prayer [[magic stone cantrip]], and whips one at the nearest goblin.
You spot no flankers. However...Still looking about Kel sweeps his bow around making sure they were not being flanked.
[roll0]
Your rock smokes slightly as it lands in the brush, and you have the faint feeling of a battle outside of your sight.The first stone appeared to go wide of the mark (?), and may have given away Overton's presence in the forest. As soon as he can react again, he takes a second stone, and flicks it, giving it a spin that will cause it to curve in the air. As he does so, he feels a supernatural blessing, beyond what he himself has imbued onto the stone. This is on him. And he smiles as he throws.
OOC:
First action after the surprise round (= round 1 or 2, depending on how we think of it): To hit now [roll0] (+2 bless, +2 prof, +3 Wis). If successful damage = [roll1].
Your javelin flies true, soaring through the air like a falcon. It takes a goblin through the heart, and the goblin falls dead instantly.OC: Initiative: [roll0]
I can throw a weapon at the goblin without penalties? If so I'm going to throw my javelin at the enemy [roll0].
If it hits [roll1] pierce damage.
Kell, Lana, and Overton feels a benevolent swell of martial valour. Idun feels as if an answer of some sort has been given, perhaps to a call to battle.Initiative: Initiative: [roll0]
Reacting a bit slowly, Idun almost begins to turn back towards the wagon and safety as soon as she spots the poorly-hidden goblins, but grits her teeth and mutters a quiet prayer to bless her companions as they start the attack instead. Perhaps seizing the initiative and taking the fight straight to them is the wiser approach anyway.

Draw mace
I'll go ahead and roll for everyone this round;

[/sblock]
A snarling goblin face charges shrieking at Idun, scimitar curving around to strike at her neck...And then an arrow sails neatly into the goblin's right eye.Kel swiftly sights the goblin and looses his arrow. Maybe he loosed too swiftly, only the gods would know.
