The peacefulness of the afternoon march is abruptly shattered by a screech and cry from above the party. Looking up, the party sees a eagle falling from the sky, impaled by a crossbow bolt. Echoing the screech of the plummeting bird is a cackle from behind a large stone to the northwest of the party. The high pitched giggle is followed by exclamation is some hissed language
Goblin
The mirthful squeals give way to a loud, booming, authoritarian voice speaking in the same language.
Goblin
There is a moment of silence from behind the rock, then two small goblins stumble out into the open. They are followed by a larger, roughly human sized, goblinoid. His skin is a different color, and he appears to be wearing a suit of chainmail. In his hand is a massive hammer, a mallet with a 4 foot long handle. In his other hand is appears to be a razor formed into a circle with the blade facing outside. Those with experience in martial weapons easily recognize them as an earthbreaker and a chakram, serious weapons.
One of the smaller goblins looks very familiar.
In Common, the large one in the middle shouts to the party. Alright you Pinko whores! Stand and deliver! Don't waste my time here and you will be free to piss yourselves after we are gone.
Assuming the party does not comply with the request (in which case you aren't really allowed to be PCs anymore)

The apparent leader of the trio is a Hobgoblin. A larger type of goblin. Because of their superior strength, Hobgoblins often take leadership roles in goblin society, especially among raid or war parties. They are faster than humans and more hearty than humans.

Hobgoblins generally serve as field officers for goblin leaders. Their strength and martial inclinations make them good soldiers, but few have the business or political acumen to rise very high in goblin society, and few become a 'Big Boss'. Leading raids is one of the few ways most hobgoblins can make a lot of money. Because of the extreme risk of raiding, hobgoblins rarely live long, and their population suffers. As a result hobgoblins represent about 10-15% of goblin society.
