If they were waiting in ambush to attack when someone got close, then the weapon wouldn't have gone off until they made the decision to attack - i.e. they had already left cover to do so.If a goblin was waiting in ambush, and your weapon warned you of this before it actually jumped out, then the warning might cause you to stop in your tracks before you got close enough for the goblin to do so. Or if it alerted you to a potentially dangerous creature, and the warning caused you to take actions which frightened it into attacking, then the warning would be the only reason the weapon went off in the first place. In order to avoid that sort of precognition paradox, I ruled that it didn't go off until the enemy had actually decided to attack. As written, the item is kind of vague on specifics, so I went as far as possible to make it user-friendly to the wielder.</blockquote>
