"Big B-Boss call up powerful monsters with it," Snotgobble replies, shivering in fear.
"Big stone creatures, or big fire creatures. Big fire creatures burn stuff good..." he says a little enviously.
"But Big Boss or Pretty Lady come out an' see you dere, they be plenty mad, so should stay off bad-stone-hill."
"This thing can summon elementals!" Terra exclaims, losing interest in the goblin's response before he has a chance to finish. "How does it work~" Terra starts to study the object more intensely, losing track of the situation.
"Yep, that is definitely good to know. Make a note to keep them away from here! Last thing we need is more bad guys."
"I see..."
Can Terra tell how they are augmented? Does it apply the augment summon feat?
With the nod of readiness from the folks on the hill, Darian turned toward the goblin village and began moving into position.
Tara will let Darian take the lead, then will follow behind him by about 20' or so.
Terra is ready with her bow magic.
Just to refresh things, here is the map.

Currently there are no bad guys in init, because they aren't active yet. So iniot is more of an idea of who goes when for once something starts.
Terra waits with bow in hand for something to happen.
The goblin villages are still quiet. Over the sound of the waterfall you can only hear the faint sounds of goblins from farther back in their villages.
Darian moved forward as quietly as he could until he saw a group of goblins. Glancing back to make sire his partner was ready, he nodded, the two of them rushing in at the same time.
Darian leaped into the middle of them an swung, hoping to catch more than one with his powerful swing.
Tara follows and attempts to pierce a goblin with her Longspear.
Attack
Damage
Quietly moving along the cliff face, you come to a pair of wagons, one tipped over on its side, and both marked with crude pictures of goblins attacking wagons.
Just beyond their shelter is a crudely fenced in area, attached to both the cliff face and a ramshackle hut. There are 5 goblin dogs enclosed within, growling and snapping at each other. They haven't seemed to notice you yet, because of the noise and the cover from the wagons.
The rest of the village seems to be quiet (although with the waterfall's noise, quiet is a relative term). The sounds of goblins seems to be coming from much farther off.
Darian turned up his lip at the disgusting oversized rodents, stepped forward and brought his polearm down over the fence.
The goblin dog drops to Darian's attack. The rest of the goblin dogs rush to the fence, howling and trying to get out to attack Darian.
The goblin dogs across the canyon hear the commotion, and set off howling themselves.
When the dogs move toward Darian, Taravel rushes to his side and takes a poke at one of the foul hounds with her spear.
The goblin dog is pierced by your spear, and dies.
Darian swings mightily...
"Well, that should get the goblins' attention," Emyralda comments to Terra as the goblin dogs begin to howl. The young Varisian glances up toward the caves in the cliff to see if any enemies respond to the commotion.
"Yeah. Hopefully they take them all out. I'm not that good at shooting this thing. Ah~" Terra says as she tries to adjust her glasses and nearly lets her arrow fly. Whew
Tara keeps jabbing with her spear at any of the evil hounds.
Attack
Damage
Between Darian and Taravel, the goblin dogs are swiftly dispached (there were only 5 in that pen). And yet their noise has set off the goblin dogs in the pen across the canyon, and (by the sounds of it) more goblin dogs penned up farther down the canyon.
A few heartbeats later, a small number of goblins stick their heads out of various huts to see what the noise is all about, blinking sleep from their eyes.
Also, a large-headed goblinoid female steps out of the cave onto the ledge above the hill where Tara and Emyralda wait.
Emyralda fires her crossbow at the large-headed goblinoid female on the ledge above and quickly loads another bolt into her weapon.
"Gyah!" Terra Squeaks in response to Emyralda's action. She then turns to the direction that she shot and fires at the same goblin.
"The other pen, quick. We don't want them letting those dogs loose on us. I'll be right behind you."
Listening to Darian, Tara begins the trek to the other kennel holding the dogs. Getting rid of them before the goblins could react would be the wisest move.
Seeing a goblin near her trek, the barbarian takes a poke at him with her spear. She could always get to the dogs later.
Attack
Damage
Darian hustles and plants himself behind one of the goblin houses keeping out of the open.
The goblin, half asleep is surprised by Taravel, and falls to her longspear.
Darian moves up near her, and the goblin dogs in in the pen in front of them set up a renewed frenzy of howls.
The other goblins drift around, trying to discover the source of the disturbance. A few more goblin stick their heads out of huts.
Felix drops the goblin by the pen you just left with an arrow.
Emyralda takes a step to get a clearer view of the goblin village and fires her crossbow at a goblin as it exits its hut .
Emyralda's bolt barely misses the goblin, but he doesn't seem to notice it as he stands blinking in the sun.
