Which damage gets prevented?

So in a game of @[email protected] the other day, my enemy attacked with Mons's Goblin Raiders and Ghyrson. Which would normally deal four damage total then two more from Ghyrson. But I had played a Bandage, preventing "the next" damage. If that next damage is the one from the Goblins, I don't get the extra Ghyrson damage, so that's why it matters.

There was no first strike in this particular situation.

@Sandra @mtg If I understand right, you as the player being damaged get to choose which point of damage Bandage prevents out of the four incoming points... if you choose to block that assigned by the goblins, then there's nothing for Ghryson to trigger off of, I think, so you get the 3 + 0 case?
