Questions about Ripnugget's Commandos?

[KissMeDarkly]

This question is specifically geared towards the 3 Goblin Commandos who are with Ripnugget in Area C19. What are their Tactics? Using the Tactics on page 13 aren't viable because these commandos don't have goblin dogs. What Gear do they have? Since they don't have goblin dogs I'm also assuming that what they have to fight with will be different.

I would think their tactics would be about the same. They can still use horsechoppers and potions of rage and prefer to attack any animals they see. They're mooks in this case.

Their gear is the same as the commandos on page 13. As for tactics... basically boils down to "Drink potion, then run up to PCs and fight in melee."

[Cintra Bristol]

One or more of the goblin commandos could instead stay up on the timbers (assuming they got the change to climb the pillars once the alarm was raised), and use their bows to shoot at PCs while the boss uses ride-by-attack amongst them.

Because goblins like to use terrain and improvised weapons, it's possible that they could have something hidden up top to throw, instead of just using bows. Maybe one of the goblins hurls a skull down on the floor between the throne and the PCs, and the warchanter uses the wand of Silent Image to make the appearance of a swarm of spiders scattering out from where the skull struck and shattered? (The intent would be to keep the PCs from closing with the warchanter.) Or does that require too much coordination for goblins?

Goblins can be coordinated. Remember, a whole bunch of them hid in Sandpoint and all attacked at once when they heard the thunderstone.
