TACTICS

Before Combat Goblin assassins like to attack from ambush.

During Combat Unless the PCs successfully detect the goblins the goblins get a surprise round in which they fire on the PCs. The goblins make full use of their Deadly Aim (already reflected in their stat blocks). They try to focus on melee fighters in the first round, hoping to drop them before they can close to sword range and prevent the goblins from using their bows effectively.

Morale The goblin assassins won’t fight to the death, and any goblin reduced to below 1/4 its maximum hit points attempts to flee.
