Is there a way to take it out peacefully?

I resorted to pacification. Same thing right?
Joking aside, I could not come up with anything in about half an hour of trial and error.

Ended up leaving the village to gather *junk* to sell the merchants to get the gold.. only to scratch everything off the ground again after the village was cleared

Posted a way to do this here... http://www.larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=545475&#Post545475

Just did this part. Maybe somebody else had same idea but I spawned wind-up toy, feather-falled it close to totem (don't move otherwise the toy will follow you), just before the explosion I turned my characters invisible just in case = mission accomplished. Maybe you can even spice it up by making the toy invisible. I also spawned fire-elemental close to the totem and as it expired it set the totem on fire and eventually it got destroyed, again the goblins didn't seem to care. I bet there is bunch of other ways.
