Riona and Argus can hear some obviously loud shuffling off in the bushes to the right side of the road, and clinking of metal.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

"...I hear an ominous noise," Argus whispers. "shuffling... and metal, in the bushes." Argus draws his sword and approaches warily.

Taking defensive action and walks toward them.

---- William ----
On the Road

Upon hearing Argus's warning William reaches up and touches his holy symbol

May Heironeous Bless all who travel with me as we head into the danger of this land with that simple prayer William feels the blessing of Heironeous flow over him and his allies. He then reaches down and pulls his longsword from his sheath looking around to see what glory has decided to come his way.

Lester frowns with Argus' warning but he acts quickly, falling back a bit from the group, and tries to approach the mentioned bushes from its flank silently. He unsheathes his dagger on the way.

[SamTheCleric]

"So, as I was saying, the pattern you trace in the air has a direct correlation to the spell being cast, if you can't get your fingers just right the spell is usel... wait, what's going on?" Fenbiddle mentioned, clearly not paying attention.

[Ritz_PBoD]

Riona was listening to Fenbiddle drone on and on about clouds and magic- before quickly listening to the forest around her. There! In the bushes! A sound. Riona turned her head swiftly in that direction. “Hold on Fenbiddle!” she said as she rode towards the bushes going nearly full speed, as she drew near the men crowding around the bush she leapt off her horse, drawing her blades, whistling as the horse came to a stop right before the men, slashing at the bushes as she disappeared into them. “GOBLINS! I’M SURE!” Riona called out as her hair disappeared in the bush, she was dead set on goblins so it could have been a squirrel.

I think that’s all I need for this little tiny post (maybe a better description but you get the idea)
Maybe tumble

[Boggs]

Gabriel

At the warning, Gabriel quickly heaves the great sword to his front. He looks around to the other party members, dashing to the front in order to protect the others. He strategically puts himself closer to Fenbiddle to prevent him from injury. "Do we have a count? There's not much that I can see in the bushes." Gabriel readies himself, focusing his eyes on the bushes. "While they may be goblins, prepare yourselves for the worst."

Riona saw and killed a goblin, four more popped out of the bushes though, one missing Riona, then the next tripping her, the next going for argus, and tripping him, and the next going for gabriel, and tripping him, all beating your strength checks, only the one that hit gabriel got his extra attack to hit though, and I forgot to roll for damage, so I'll roll on the OOC board like I will for initiative.

sorry to roll for you guys, but it would have taken a long time to wait for everyone to make an opposed check. If it bothers you, tell me and I won't do it anymore

After her acrobatics, Riona's attack connects with a goblin in the bush, causing it to cry out as it's chest is sliced open.

A deep roar, the cry of a wild animal is let loose, and goblins spring out from the bushes, sweeping weapons at the legs of those of you in front, dragging your legs from beneath you as you connect with the ground.

Four Goblins in armor stand with pole-arms above you all, glaring down at those of you on the ground. With another loud roar, and a crashing of the bushes, and out shambles a much larger goblin, the size of a normal human, but much stronger. He looks at your group, and shouts in a gutteral common.

"You leave, you live"

Feel free to post out of initiative order for regular speech, but for combat, initiative is

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Argus blinks, somewhat stunned with the new realization that the open sky is before his face as opposed to bush or earth. And he blinks again when the new open sky is replaced with that of a massive goblinoid. "It seems a foe stands before us... It would be far easier to leave were we not forcibly put onto our backs and then threatened... If I were aided back to my feet it would make the circumstances for leaving far easier. But, I shall not lie to you, were on my feet I may very well simply put a sword through you." He takes a small flask from his belt and takes a little swig of it.

"Oh My!" fenbiddle exclaims upon seeing the goblins explode from the bushes.

The Goblinoid grunts amusedly at Argus's comment

"Drop weapons, crawl

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

"Now now, we don't have to be children about this." Argus, like he doesn't even see the weapons, begins to clamber to his feet, sword still in hand. "We can settle this like grown men."

Initiative has already been rolled, technically Fenbiddle and Argus's actions haven't taken place, Gabriel goes first in initiative, so only conversation has taken part as of yet.

From the battle grid, I see that there's another enemy to Lester's right. What's he doing? What's my status, am I seen?

Oh, and is it possible to run through the bushes?

[LatemYvaeh]

---- William ----
Goblin Ambush Round 1

William looks around and studies the armor and markings of the Goblins trying to identify clan and allegiance if any

on my action

If my bless did not complete before the combat started he will complete that spell
Other wise he will cast Magic Vestment on his shield
After he finishes casting he will then move foward to defend whom ever appears to be in the most danger currently.

As he moves to defend his comrades he will call out Praise Heironeous may this battle provide my comrades the chance for glory and honor. Have at thee cowardly varmits.

[Ritz_PBoD]

Riona hops up from the ground, pushing her self off of it with her hands, to once again be standing with her two feet on the ground. She then puts steel to flesh as she cleaves into the goblin that had tripped her (the one to her right I assume at least to the dot's right the one not in front of Will (Argus) I think).

Gabriel

Gabriel looks up from the ground, shaking his head from the damage he had sustained from the fall. Maneuvering in the full-plate, he makes his way back to his feet. Sword in hand, looks to the Goblin, "You speak well for a Goblin. I give you one chance to leave this life of violence and embrace the warmth of Light." Unsure of the Goblin's response, Gabriel begins to take a swing at the Goblin's weapon.

As Gabriel gets to his feet, The goblin next to him lets out what seems like a yelp, and swipes his weapon at the Paladin's feet, catching them, but the metal slides right off his greaves as the goblin tries to pull him down. Ready to attack again, the goblin gets a nasty surprize as Gabriel swings his massive weapon at him, crashing into it and cracking it in half, leaving only the pole in the surprized creature's hand.

The leader shouts a command to his followers, and they all swing at whomsoever is closest to them. One swings at argus, catching him between the cracks on the shoulder of his armor (3 points), Two swinging down at Riona, one missing entirely, the blade catching the ground, while the other slices right across her leg (5 points). The last goblin drops his pole and runs away from Gabriel, pulling out his longbow from behind his back.

The Leader turns to Gabriel "You have sealed the fate of you and your comrades" he says, and makes is way to the paladin.

EDIT: oops, apparently I forgot he was way too far away to attack Gabriel XD, next time

Argus gets to his feet, shrugging off the goblin's attempt to pull him down, and lets forth his attack at the poor creature, cleaving it down the middle with his blade, cutting diagonally through almost 2 feet of his flesh. The poor goblin was too surprized even to scream in pain as he fell to the ground, blood pouring from the gaping wound.

William moves down to help Gabriel protect Fenbiddle.

Riona's attack swipes at the goblin near her, but scrapes the armor, cutting in, but not actually hitting any flesh.

Fenbiddle does nothing...

Cespenar runs behind a bush to the north, un-noticed by the goblins who are preoccupied with the more dangerous looking 'enemies'

[SPOILER]
I've got all your actions for this round, and I've posted the new map with those actions in mind. Argus's action is impossible though, so he'll tell me, or post what he's going to do, and assuming none of you change your action based on that, then we'll move on to Gabriel's next action.

Answer to Cespenar: That's the leader, although he's no longer there. No you can't run through the bushes, but you can walk through them at half speed, and they provide cover.

LatemYvaeh: you got your bless before, and when it's your turn in initiative, you'll get your action done

[Cespenar]

Spoiler

I thought Lester ran to the bushes before the combat, in the same round that Riona charged the bushes, but I assume you interpreted it as a 2 round action?

If that's not the case and I still got an action, Lester runs with full speed behind the escaping goblin. If that was indeed the case and the hiding took 2 rounds, then I'm waiting for the new round.

[Regord_Silentflame]

No, you hadn't posted like everyone else had, so I guess I had misinturpreted your first post. Go ahead and post what you'll do for the current round before we move on.

My action for Round 2

---- William ----
Goblin Ambush Round 2

William stands defiantly between the goblins and Fenbiddle ready to defend him at a moments notice. Upon seeing one of the goblins attempt to flee. William again touches his holy symbol. May Heironeous' blade punish you for your cowardly ways and with a gesture a sword of force appears near the Goblin and begins to attack.

He looks over at the main combat and yells so as to be heard over the combat Please attempt to take one alive we need to question them.

"Ouch," said Riona as the sword left a neat cut in her. She looked at it but then attacked again. "You servants of evil, die," she said in goblin. She then looked at the goblin, swinging her blade again before drawing the second one, for the next attack.
