“ We're going after the Mush dwellers first huh.”  Bors said nonchalantly. 

“ Yep that's right apparently that orders from up top.” Mii said with a sigh.

“ Ugh, that swamp’s seriously no good. Why do we have to go to such a place.”  Gobox said with a clear look of disgust.

“ Besides the fact that the goddess commanded us, I want there to be a surplus of people for the sacrifice at the end of the month.” Zor said, looking grim. 

“ Oh right that.” Gobox said, having just remembered the precarious situations his home was in. “ Wait won't it be just as bad if more people die fighting the war then we gain from conquering the Mush dwellers.”

“ I know, that's why I need to plan this shit out.” Zor said with annoyance. He was trying to plan out how to invade the swamp village while minimizing casualties on both sides and ensuring that there are enough troops in reserve to send back to the village just in case. 

“ Hmm, Why don’t we focus on range spear throws to pick off people at a distance.” Bors suggested. 

“Can’t We don’t have enough skilled spear throwers to reliably hit targets. Plus in order to hit the people of the village we'd have to get close enough for them to attack us in retaliation.” Zor countered with a sigh. 

“ Why don’t I and the other shamans use magic to burn down the village.” Mii suggested. “ It should help to demoralize them making it easier to overwhelm them in combat.”

“ No.” Zor said again. “ There is no guarantee that the fire won't spread out of control and kill more people than we intend. Also it is impossible to know whether the fire will demoralize them or just piss them off and make them more aggressive.”

“ Why don’t we all man up and just charge the village instead of this pussyfooting around.” Gobox announced with all the false machismo he could muster.

“ Because that completely defeats the purpose we're trying to accomplish, idiot.” Bors said in annoyances.

“Don’t call me an idiot, idiot.” Gobox shot back.

“ What you say?!” Bors roared in a rare moment of emotion. 

Mii rolled her eyes as those to start such a childish argument. Meanwhile Zor ignored as he continued to try and think of a plan.

“Why don’t you lure them out of the village?” a familiar voice said from above.

“What was that?” Zor said as the entire group was on edge.

“ Why don’t you initiate a small strike into the swamp village and use that to lure the warriors into a trap? Then when you defeat them you can enter the village and capture the non-combatants.” the familiar voice said again this time from behind them.

Turning around they found an unfamiliar female goblin standing there.

“What?” she said to their shocked faces
