Xandak makes eye contact with Urthask, bows deeply as both a greeting and thanks for his help, and turns to follow Gongar towards the North Gate.

Urthask returns the human's salute and urges Arktos forward. He is glad to have companions again, though he does not yet know their names, except for the one called Malik. Proper introductions can come later. His thoughts turn to his father. Before they disappeared, Galazur and his Riders patrolled these very streets once, and helped Daviren Hosk crush a goblin tribe that threatened the area. For the thousandth time Urthask wonders what became of his clansmen. In addition to protecting the populace, Urthask is now driven to investigate this new goblin threat as it might be a clue to solving the mystery of the Lost Riders.

"of course" states Daire. "monsters cause destruction wherever they trot, sometimes it's better to remove the monsters then it is to heal the damage caused by their passage." Having said his piece he moves with the other fighters towards the sounds of battle. Daire reflects on the history of Orc and Dwarvenkind and wonder's at traveling with one of their ilk, he will reserve his judgement for now.

Round One, North Gate
You rush toward the North Gate, turning the corner in time to see a group of goblins surrounding a lone man and his dog. There are seven goblins, one of which is mounted on a large goblin dog. The mounted goblin is wielding a polearm, and stabbing at the human's dog, which is barking and growling at the mounted creature, trying to protect his master.
You all watch as, suddenly, the goblin brings down his polearm on the dogs head, ending its life. The goblins cheer and begin to advance on the helpless man. As you skid to a halt they hear you and several of them turn around, baring weapons.

Player's Turn!Apr 4, 2016 4:50 pm
Urthask bellows "Die, vermin!" as he levels his lance at the mounted goblin and charges! Arktos and Urthask crash into the fray like an avalanche of claws, teeth, muscle, and steel. The ghost bear opens its maw and tries to rip the goblin mount's throat out.
When Urthask charges and hits, allies gain a +2 bonus on their next attack roll against the target of that charge. This bonus must be used before Urthask's next turn, or it is lost.
Challenge
Once per day, a cavalier can challenge a foe to combat. As a swift action, the cavalier chooses one target within sight to challenge. Whenever an Order of the Bear beast rider issues a challenge, his allies receive a +1 circumstance bonus on melee attack rolls against the target of his challenge whenever he is threatening the target. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the cavalier possesses. Challenging a foe requires much of the cavalier’s
concentration. The cavalier takes a –2 penalty to his Armor Class, except against attacks made by the target of his challenge.
*Choosing to Overrun G2 instead of the Disarm attempt on GB.
*Does Arktos also gain +2 to attack from Distracting Charge? If he does, I haven't factored that in.
*Also not factored in: +1 bonus to my attack roll (granted by Challenge).

As Arktos and Urthask charge in and bowl over G2, knocking him to the ground, a crossbow bolt whizzes by and hits the mounted goblin in the side of his chest (5 damage). He almost loses his seat, but manages to catch himself at the last moment. His relief is short lived as Urthask's lance catches him in the side (10 damage), blowing through and out the other side, ending his life immediately.
The goblin dog growls loudly as he feels his master be blasted off of his back.
Daire charges in behind the great bear and his rider, launching his flail out in a quick arc to crush the skull of the now prone G2 (8 damage). His second strike hits the already dead creature, just for good measure.

Gongar rushes forward, launching his whip at G1 as he advances. He scores a nasty hit on the goblin's cheek (4 damage), leaving a long gash on it's face. His following hammer swing and attack on the goblin dog with his whip fail to connect.
Xandak has better luck with his attacks. His first jab lands on the goblin's sternum (8 damage) and you hear a loud crack as the bone breaks. His follow-up strike with his knew snaps the goblin's head back (6 damage). It falls lifelessly to the ground.
G1 screams wildly and begins viciously attacking Gongar. The skilled dwarf manages to fend off all of the goblin's attacks.
The goblin dog, furious at its master's death, bites at Arktos. It manages to get ahold of the great bear's neck (9 damage) and begins to tug back and forth, attempting to rip its throat out.G6 steps up to the dangerous monk, slashing wildly with his jagged blade.

Xandak has to fight his natural reaction to yell out in pain when he is sliced open by the Goblin's blade. That hurt - bad - but he manages to suppress it by focusing all of his anger and adrenaline on the goblin who wielded that sword, lashing out with his fists and feet in lightning succession.

So here's what I'm doing - I'm just gonna roll three attacks. If any one of them kills G6, he will use the rest of them on G5. If somehow both G5 and G6 die, he will use any remaining attacks on the Goblin Dog.
Edit one more time since Power Attack has been clarified: the second attack should be 18 to hit with 7 damage, and my third attack was a 13 to hit with 7 damage

Gongar continues his attacks on G1. His first attack, with his whip is pushed aside by the goblin. The defense leaves the goblin open to Gongar's second attack with his hammer which slams into his chest (7 damage) and takes him down. He lashes out with his whip to try to trip G4 up, but has to pull his attack at the last moment as the man gets in the way of the attack.
Arktos roars in pain and begins to bite and claw at the disgusting creature that bit it. He bites at the little creature, but it is too quick and manages to duck back. A paw swipes across and the dog holds back, then lunges forward just in time to have its face horribly clawed by the powerful bear (8 damage).
Urthask drops his lance and draws his bastard sword to attempt to defend his faithful companion. He slashes at the creature twice, but the pained movements of his mount make it impossible to land a blow.
Daire rushes forward to aid his allies, flail spinning out in its chain. He lashes out once and the powerful weapon lands a solid blow on the goblin dog's skull (8 damage), killing it instantly.
