Lucan (autopilot) hears Manzanita and Dunathar shout, and turns and rushes back the way he came. Hurdling over the underbrush, he makes it 30 feet of where he last saw the others.
Goven, breaks cover and rushes to Lucan's aide. Axe in hand, he closes the 30 feet and stands by his ally's side.
Another hobgoblin appears, riding a massive worg. Wearing similar gear to the first one, he carries a bow in one hand and reins to a second worg in the other. He rides up to the retreating hobgoblin and drops drops the reins to the second worg. It's a good shot, but the hobgoblin is too far away. The arrow passes a few feet to the side of Goven.
Manzanita, after shouting "Lucan! Come back!", fires an arrow from the concealment of the tree, aiming for the first, injured hobgoblin. Her arrow misses.
Dunathar moves forward slightly, staying hidden, getting in a better position for a ranged sneak attack.
Zook advances a bit, readying his spell.
The wounded hobgoblin grabs the reins of his worg and mounts it, riding towards the party again, bow drawn.
Three more hobgoblins appear, mounted on worgs. The first hobgoblin looks like the other two. With bow in hand, he advances and fires. His arrow crosses the distance and strikes Goven in the chest.
The next hobgoblin wears no armor, and carries a morningstar in his hand. He rides forward, but not as far as the others.
The last hobgoblin is a female, wearing heavy armor. She rides forward, putting her bow away and drawing a longsword.
Manzanita has seen the female hobgoblin before, during the ambush on Glendrake's caravan. She was hanging back in the distance, with a few other hobgoblins, maybe the ones riding with her now. Yes, the unarmored one might have been there too. Khelan was the female's name, Darien had said, and Rathog was her sorcerous lieutenant. They were survivors of Darien's raid of the Night Swarm Clan. Based on the priest of Hextor's journals, they were now part of Inyek's Red Claw Clan. She now had a red claw emblazoned on her black tabard.
