The group continues down the road for about six miles. Then, from the undergrowth ((ASG whitelistees be like NAWT AGIN)), come charging eight Goblins riding wolves. They are clad in an assortment of hide and leather armor, as well as bits of scavenged metal stuff. They hold spears, daggers, clubs, and slings. From behind them comes crashing something larger - a Bugbear! It wields a great morning star, its spikes gleaming in the sunlight. In the brief window of time before they shall be upon you, only three have time enough to act: Ithe saw them almost instantly, and has time to unhook his weapons, raise his shield, and make a defensive or offensive move. Kordian saw him just after Ithe, and has time to fire bow or take up a defensive position. Beep saw the Goblins as well, and can take up a defensive stance if he so chooses. Dimitri is in the back, so he sees nothing (the Goblins are coming from the south), and Andrew is busy picking his nose.
