"I guess," Dani said, folding the cloak and hat into her pack and reaching for a low branch. She pulled herself up, and continued until she was in the leaf cover. "Haven't had to do that in a while," she commented.

"Hey, remember back in phys-ed class where there was this guy who always tried to cheat and use magic to do the fence jump part?" Lufia asked with a grin.

The sound of footsteps gradually became louder. After some time, a massive column of Goblins came over the horizon, marching and chanting and waving random implements intended for use as clubs. As they got closer, the group could hear their chanting...

"BLOOD FOR BONE GOD! BONE FOR...um..."

"...Snot throne?"

"Wait, that not right."

"What right then?"

Pause.

"...BLOOD FOR CREAM! BLOOD FOR CREAM! BLOOD FOR CREAM!"

Near the cart, Zereal facepalmed. "Remember what I said before?"

"How many times is this now?"

"I'll admit, that would be the first time i've ever heard a Goblin say something like that. Most other times, they would fall within a few short moments of me drawing my weapon." Raidou spoke in a low tone, holding his Cutlass down to the ground and peeking out from around the corner. This was the first time he participated in an ambush... And to be honest, he would have preferred facing them head-on as opposed to being sneaky. However, if it minimalized casualties, he wasn't going to complain.

"Pray tell, what would be the perfect time to spring out and strike? I've never performed a sneak attack before." he asked, glancing over to the nearest person.

"Remember what I said before?"

Outwardly, the mekka merely nodded to Zereal. Inside however, the young moogle breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried over nothing. Moving his controls quickly, Kupek hunkered his mekka down as best he could behind some bushes and reached into the large satchel at it's side. He began to combine some items, making a small bomb- but he held off on including the last element.

"Pray tell, what would be the perfect time to spring out and strike? I've never performed a sneak attack before."

"When you see the whites of their eyes, kupo?"

Kailan sighed, remembering that Lufia asked to perform the first attack... He looked down to the Goblins, putting his hands to the swords hilts and waiting for the White Mage attack to come...

"Hmm... That may work, but..." Raidou started, peeking out from around the corner, attempting to stare into the eyes of one of the goblins. Turning back, he shrugged. "I can see them from this distance, but they don't really seem white."

"Yeah," Dani replied to Lufia. "Dunno why he was even in the Red track in the first place, if he had to use Magic to cover for himself..." She hushed as the Goblins approached. She sighed, quietly. "Way to reinforce the stereotypes, boys," she muttered.

As the others discussed strategy, Derry hopped up into a tree and readied his bow with an arrow. He'd pick them off while the others ambushed from the ground then join the melee later.

"Just wait for Lufia's opening," he called down quietly.

Sendis readied her spear as her free hand went to the hilt of her short sword. Nodding, msotly to herself, at Derry's words she waited, tensing at the anticipation of battle.

"Well, since you usually have a really great attention to detail, I was wondering if you knew how the guy did that magic-assisted jump," Lufia whispered as the goblins drew closer, "I was never taught how to do it and I think it might help with the hammer attack I'm gonna try."

"Well," Dani said, "I think he was doing two things: concentrating positive energy in his legs, to make them stronger, and invoking wind to help keep him up longer. It's not very efficient, really, and it's not the same as what Dragoons do... But I guess the energy might work here, if you're thinking what I think you're thinking."

Lufia grinned.

"Yup," she whispered back, "I'm gonna make that initial hit I plan on doing much, much harder that it should be."

After a minute, Zereal finally spoke up. "I'm not so sure it's a good idea to attack at all. Look at how massive this group of Goblins is...anything we do is just gonna cause a whole mess of the smelly buggers to jump on us all at once."

"Then what? We do nothing and let them continue on their rampage?" Lufia asked, carefully looking down the roadway from her position hidden up in the trees.

"Please don't confuse pragmatism with cowardice," the redheaded swordsman commented. "We need a plan other than 'jump out and attack' or those things are going to steamroll us, and then they'll go on slaughtering anyway."

"I know, I know..." the white mage replied, watching as the amount of goblins that she could see from her position increase, "We can't help anyone if we're all dead and I can't cast healing spells fast enough to counter a mass goblin rush. I still want to do something though..."

"Hmm... What about using Kupek's chemistry abilities to whip up some sort of smoke bomb? We could toss it into their group and throw them into disarray while we work to pick them off before the smoke runs thin." Raidou interjected, shouldering his Cutlass. "A battle fought head-on would be more preferable for me, but against a group this size, tactics may prove to be a better ally."

"Confusion or a trap would be best against them," Derry called down, "We could lure them into a smoke bomb trap and work to make them think there are more of us than there actually are. At the very least, we'll still have the element of surprise and if we keep our attacks moving from different directions, we can keep them off balance."

There was also another thing on his mind.

"Also, do we have any word on the other groups?"

Nicus crouched low, his hammer held at the ready while a bulging satchel made a home on his hip. He toyed with the handle of his tool as he waited.

"And suppose we don't attack? These Goblins look like they're on a mission, and I doubt it's to sell kupo nut cookies to the kiddies! If we don't stop them, who will?"

"Well, if we have to fight, how should we go about it?" Lufia asked quietly, "I still intend on jumping down and smashing with the hammer to cause an earthquake effect to knock a large number of them down. What next?"

"Dont look at me, I'm a Knight, I tend to follow orders and defeat single opponents..." Kailan shrugged... "Battle plans are for tacticians..." He sighed out...

"If we're meaning to do this, it must be done swift and mercilessly. I have bombs here, yon White Mage's hammer must weigh a ton and will crush any poor Gob under its track. She leaps and scatters, I will toss my bombs into the wind, and the survivors of that attack ought be scattered and disoriented enough for us to finish. But we mustn't dally, or show mercy, or allow their plaintive cries to sway us. We must be swift and cold and merciless as the midnight winter storm in the highlands. No survivors, no quarter given."

Nicus's face was grim as he related his thoughts.

"...And then the rest of them will jump on top of us and overwhelm us with sheer numbers," Zereal replied. "I'm not saying we should just let them pass, but we need some kind of epic plan if we're gonna take on an army this big by ourselves."

"Well... We have a bunch of people hidden on a lot of trees..." Kailan wondered... "A big group of Goblins walking down... The best plan I could imagine is having a wizard cast some spell that makes part of the goblin look like some human\moogle\viera and hope they kill each others by themselves..."
