Darian puts a finger to his lips as he looks back at Soth, then crouches a little lower and moves behind a tree indicating that the others should do the same.

"...W-whats that roaring..?"
Emyralda sneaks forward with Felix, loaded crossbow in-hand.
"You guys don't get to have all the fun," Tara whispers as she follows the other two.
Six goblins stand in the middle of the path. They seem to be paying attention to some sort of animal that they have trapped between them, poking it with their dog slicers.
They haven't noticed the three of you stealthing up yet.
"Goblins... Should we attack while were still unnoticed?" Terra asks quietly trying to decide if one of here area spells is worth using now or worth saving for their hideout.
"I think we can take a few goblins. Who's with me? Let's go get these suckers." Tara prepares to engage the creatures.
Emyralda nods in agreement and levels her crossbow to take aim at the goblins. She waits for a moment, listening for the pause between her own heartbeats, and squeezes the weapon's trigger to send a bolt streaking toward one of the goblins.
As the crossbow is fired, Tara takes the opportuni to charge the goblins.
Init.
"Dammit! Too far!" Darian gripes as the crossbow bolt is fired. He rushes through the undergrowth and out onto the path.

Emyralda's crossbow bolt finds it's mark, and the goblin goes down without a sound.
Terra Draws her bow, and pulls an arrow, ready to shoot.
Tara pulls her Longspear, ready to advance on the goblins the next round.
Felix fires two arrows in rapid succession. The first hits its mark, dropping the goblin, but the second flies over its falling body.
Soth-Loren utters Bless, giving the party a +1 to their attacks.
The goblins, surprised, stand around looking at their two fallen companions.
Darrian steps out onto the path and moves closer to the goblins.
Taravel readies her longspear, and Terra (although currently out of sight of the goblins) readies her bow.
Round 1
Round One:
Emyralda re-loads her crossbow and fires at another flat-footed goblin.
Emyralda drops another goblin with her shot, and both of Felix's arrows fly true.
There is currently only one goblin left standing, looking at his fallen friends.
The goblin reacts with a snarl of rage and leaps at Soth-Loren, weapon swinging wildly.
Attack:
Damage:
The goblin slices Soth-Loren for his trouble.
Darian reaches the battle just in time to see them all dead save for the one stabbing his friend.
With a disappointed grunt he brings his long blade down.
Terra walks over to the scene of the slaughter. "So much for getting info on their hide out... Maybe you should have just kicked that last one... Although that would have probably done it in too... Terra says, looking at Darien's legs. "What were they torturing?"
"Oops." Darian said half-heartedly.
"Honestly, I really doubt there's anything a goblin would tell us that would actually be helpful."
Pinned in the road by a foot trap is a small fox. It has been stabbed and tormented by the goblins, and is barely alive.

Prepairing to cast a spell, Soth-Loren stops and looks about a moment before trying to touch and release the little fox. I'll instead burn a Channel Energy, to heal everyone, and maybe one of the Goblins isn't actually fully dead, just down and out.
As he does that, he will also do a quick scan of the area, just lookig for any other threats or anything out of the ordinary.
Perception:
Tara waits to see if anyone tries to heal the beaten up little fox. If not, she tries to get it to drink from one of her healing potions.
Darian kneels an carefully pries the trap open as Soth-Loren's burst of healing washes over them all.
"Everyone back up, please. When it comes to it's going to be mighty touchy."
Pulling Gopher's bowls from his pack he fills dishes with water and dried meat, and stands back to wait.
Darian sets the fox free of the trap. It looks around at the party briefly, then at Darian. It then turns to eat and drink from the food that Darian put out for it.
