Can any friendly npcs fight the evil stuff and not the player?
I wanted to make the player to start in a war, goblins vs humans.

Nothing
No, there is not currently any support in the Coldstone engine for NPC vs. NPC combat and NPC allies to the player. A few workarounds have been suggested in the past (try searching this board to find them), but they're all pretty kludgy in my opinion.

'You can either be on the stage, just a performer, just going through the lines...or you can be outside it, and know how the script works, where the scenery hangs, and where the trapdoors are. Isn't that better?'
-- T. Pratchett
1.To do exactly what you want You could use a turn based system.
2.You could give an NPC stamina as a spell caster and cast negative spells not at you but at allies. But that will not allow the humans to fight together aganst the goblins it will turn into a huge free for all.
3. You could just show the NPC's fighting in an animation. Although you would be unabe to aid in the outcome of the battle.
