They do not have one eye, rather they have eyes pointed forward like a predator or a primate.

Front facing eyes are usually nature's way of telling you something is a predator. Let's not go up against a group of predators with a small hunting party lol

Yeah, let's not hunt a bunch of man-eating goats with only six people.

[X] Hunt the goats, you are not going to shy away from odd looking goats after dealing with a sea cat
If we act carefully we can propably deal with them. They are small for goats.
And predators taste no worse than prey.
Edit: These are definitly not Dire Goats, those would be larger.

Green for additions, yellow for substitutions, red for deletions, blue for everything else.
From the previous update:

Some word doubling.
ought
to move

The sentence uses "they" but then switches to impersonal "you"
not familiar with the expression; suspecting a typo.
"grumble", and either a dot or a semicolon should be present to divide the sentences.
"had not ripped", possibly? The beginning of the last sentence is missing.
"than"
"seeing", and also possibly a comma to separate the direct speech.
..."cedars", possibly?
...how do I keep missing votes that go up mere couple of hours ago?

...a herd of predatory goats? It could happen, but one does wonder where they get enough prey to feed them all. Nah, I bet they are still herbivores. Maybe omnivores if we're unlucky.

Never underestimate a group of predators, no matter how small. Also, six against sixteen is not good odds.

1 big one, 8 adults, 3 young ones. Makes 12.
Also we are seven if we include our MC.
If these are relativly close to CR 1/3 regular goats I'm giving us great odds.
Much better ones than attacking five level two men alone with only a seacat that may or may not help us.

There are non-negligible odds that they breath fire or have laser vision, or something worse. Healing is as muggle as it can be at the moment, so even relatively mild injuries can be life threatening. Even if we can kill all of the goats, assuming they don't flee rather than attempt to murder us back, the chances for serious injury to one or more of our men is a bit too high, IMO.

Also, they could be immune to mundane weapons like (IIRC) Rakshasa and Lycanthropes.
If they are, we don't want to provoke something that we have literally no means of putting down.
Also, when you mentioned goats, my mind *immediately* went to Qohor, specifically the Black Goat in the Forest with Ten Thousand Young.

Dire goats are also bigger than average goats, these are on the small side.
So what do you suggest?
Wait for entirely save encounters?
We can't afford that, not at level 2 and with absolutly no knowledge-skills that could give us a reasonable chance to identify anything.
Wait for a another smaller creature. Or even a single big creature that will allow us to leverage our numbers. Something in the vein of a deer. These goats might be individually inferior but they have superior numbers and way better knowledge of the terrain.
Edit- Another thing to note is that it's not a failure if we don't bring anything back right now. We scouted and should know a little regarding the surrounding area. We can come back next time with more men or perhaps with crossbows. I know one mutineer had one, its unknown if there are more but one more ranged weapon is helpful regardless.

Not safe, but not quite so murky, at least not willingly. If the goats attack us, that's one thing, but I'm wary of unnecessarily poking a metaphorical Dragon so soon after making landfall. The men we have right now are a precious, perhaps even irreplaceable resource, so I don't want to squander them.

I am very glad that we are at the shore at last. It was a very tense feeling of lost in the sea.

I do not think that it will be a party-wipe encounter, but it is better not to risk. Even wounds would be nasty, not to say about lost of our men.
