Our adroit heroes tracked the goblins back to a small camp in the woods. Completely unaware of the threat around them, the goblins sit around a fire, easy prey to the hidden band of adventurers lurking in the trees. The party attacks! Arrows rain down, spells are cast, and sword wielders rush in.

What are scenarios in which each of the above would occur?
