A shout from beyond a hill, and Gregof appears at the top - staggering. A couple of arrow shafts protrude from his shoulder and back.
Antares' eyes widen at the sight of wood, iron and blood, the smell imagined... He wants to rush out, to help, but somehow still has the presence of mind to blink and wonder what, in truth, is happening here? (And, just perhaps, fear of rushing out unprotected when arrows are flying low, apparently, has a little to do with it as well...? Too, to observe goblins in the flesh for the first time...!) But surely - surely - the three diminutive ones are not attacking the town entire? (And, surely again, its citizens are not so thin-willed as to run screaming from so unimposing a threat? Even
he is less than whelmed with fear at the moment...)
"I -ah - believe we should move with caution?" he advises while reaching into his pouch for the tiny longbow token that powers his offensive magic.
Then, remembering:
"Perhaps the famed battle of Widow's Fury Gorge, where battled the armies of-" He catches Stellan's (and Muzdin's) expression and quickly skips several thought-paragraphs ahead: the young elven mage hesitantly points a little ahead, between them and the- the horde?
"Defend that narrower space inbetwixt old man Corl's angled wooden fence and the side of - I believe it's one of the pig ponds owned by the Mollins family?" Is that what one does in these situations? asks his expression. He is far from sure. (And by his constant looks that way, somewhat concerned about the good officer's continued well being as well?)

Actions: draw "bow". If the others agree, he'll move to the fence/whatever ends up being actually there and climb to the other side so that it provides cover, if appropriate. "What do you want?" he'll shout to the approaching menace if nobody else speak up in the meanwhile. And urgently gesture for Gregof to join them if possible/appropriate without drawing the goblins' attention to the good captain.

[sblock=Various OOC]
Just a suggestion on the location, of course. Assume he points the best defensible position he can see, Gambler? What would that be?
Questions: Are we inside the walls or outside them? (We do have a wall, right?) Where is Gregof compared to us and the goblins? On the other side of them? Lastly, how are the goblins armed/armored, if at all?
Oh, and it's good to be playing again. :thumbs up:
