 Sir Roland examines the battlefield, and comes to the conclusion that Aurelia is likely to be charged by one of the goblins that they are facing.  He moves himself to stand between the goblins and Aurelia, and declares a Readied Action:  "If a goblin moves into a square that I can reach, I will attack him."
-One goblin attempts to rush Aurelia and moves into a square that Sir Roland can reach.  Sir Roland's Readied Action triggers, and he swings at the goblin.  The goblin (somehow) survives, and continues trying to move past Sir Roland, thus provoking a [[unbound:actions:Counterattack]] as he leaves the area that Sir Roland threatens.  Unfortunately, as Sir Roland used his reaction to take his Readied Action, he cannot Counterattack.
