"That could work, we could cross the valley away from the cave, and approach the entrance from the side."
"I'll need a little prep time to set it up, but I could use a bit of illusion magic to make it sound like there's a large group of people on the opposite side of the entrance and starting to charge in. With luck, they'll be ready to fire at the first thing that moves when Rachel's summon pops around the corner."
Out of Character: Proposing to use an infusion to duplicate the Ghost Sound cantrip, which at my CL can produce any sound so long as it is not louder than 8 humans doing stuff like running and shouting.
Kn, Presuming the others agree, I'd suggest having Ghost on point, Rachel and Allen just behind, and the last three trailing with ranged weapons at the ready. We'd head far enough up or down the valley that firing at us from the safety of the cave mouth would be problematic, then work out way back towards it while hugging the ridge wall.
At some appropriate point, potentially now, I'd get people to stop for 3 minutes and 6 seconds to get my infusions out of the way. Goblin Bane on my crossbow, Magic Vestment on Ghost (+1 to the furry guy's AC for the next two hours), priming red cloth with Cure Minor Wounds as discussed before, and priming some random rock I pick up with Ghost Sound.
I'd have one infusion left at that point, I could do another Magic Vestment with it among other things, but I'd prefer to stay flexible and see how the situation evolves.
I listen to Jason and Rachel discuss what magics they can use and grin a bit, "I wish I had access to this in the Army. The plan sounds good. Unless our new members have questions about the plan or our order of battle I say we go."
" This sounds to be a good plan to me. When it is time let me know and I will summon an ally." I look at the newcomers. " All joking aside earlier, be very careful. You could die in here. Den and I almost did before. "'I advance at an angle ahead with Ghost to approach the cave entrance from the side.
As you move into position Ghost starts to growl. He is looking into the tree line above the valley and behind the cave. About this time some javelins start heading your way. The Goblins are trying to ambush you. I will need combat rolls and initiative rolls.

I cringe as the javelins begin to fly. " So much for that plan. Damn. Ghost, let's get them. " I race up towards where the javelins are flying from. As I'm going I dig deep and call upon a wolf ally to help us. When it arrives I will direct it to attack with Ghost.
Out of Character: : I will use my normal move then summon a wolf who I direct to charge along with Ghost.

If it looks like it is possible to charge the ridge, I will simply drop down prone in a good position and begin firing up the slope at the most likely targets.
If not, I will call to Rachel, "I can get Ghost up there if you summon a flying creature and move it up.", then go digging for my Benign Transposition scroll.
