Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 82 Too Many

Bal clapped his hands after Yunan said his piece "that ladies and gentlemen is cunning, you kept your eyes on the target and choose the most efficient and least time consuming methode. You kids have no experience building traps so forget about using them, use the kind of traps you can already use, strategy and planning, the bottleneck strategy is good but there is a downside, you don't know how many you can take and how the goblins would act inside one."

"We have already did this with the kobolds, we can use the smaller tunnels to keep the numbers manageable, but the timing must be at night when most the goblins are all sleeping, we can occupy a room and let them come in twos and threes by using tower shields to block the doors." Leol interjected.

"We only need one big shield and we can choose how big the gap we let the goblins come through and just kill them at leisure but we need to mind their numbers and our stamina so how should we arrange the formation?" Reina added

"Keep Reina holding the shield since she would just need to keep it in place allowing the goblins to filter through a small gap, Leol would rest and replace her for half an hour intervals, while Lili and i can deal with the individual goblins, as they come, and since there will be very few goblins to face we can switch places to allow everyone to res" Yunan chose the formation.

"For this strategy to work, we need to seriously cripple their numbers during day time, forcing them to send out patrols out in the night, while we are inside dealing with those who are tired from the patrolling during the day. So i guess we need to archers and two attackers, and the archers need to aim for the kill instead of making it easier for the attackers, we all need to aim for the most efficient kill, this is not training anymore."Lili completed the strategy.

"Leol you will stay with Reina in the back and use your bow to draw the patrols, Lili and i will deal with them as they get closer, and move on to the next patrol and repeat this ad nauseum. Thanks to last week we now can deal with both hordes and higher level adversaries, so let get it done with, we only have 4 days" Yunan took the role of the leader and issued his command

The four fighters put on their matching armor, each had a crossbow hanging on their back, with the handle above their right shoulder, at their sides were two short swords matching the armor they had on. They walked into the territory of the nest heading towards the nearest goblin marked in the watch loaned by Bai

It only took three dead patrols for the goblins, who have been targeted too much recently, to go into overdrive and send out their patrols in overwhelming numbers, and since the kids were not shy about announcing their presence, they dove right on any patrol they saw dispatching it with fury, then they would meld into the shadows, waiting for the next patrol to cross their line of sight.

By the time night arrived our heroes were almost too tired to stand up, the last fight they had was almost too much, they fought 5 patrols one after the other with the last two arriving mid fight and making the already hard fight harder to deal with. After a hearty meal and a good two hour rest, the kids used the invisibility in their armors and sneaked inside the nest with Debauchery in tow.

Inside the nest the found a relatively small guard room that could be blocked by a tower shield and killed everyone inside making sure their death screams aroused enough of a raucous to draw the attention of the goblins, and sure enough a tide of goblins swarmed towards the room.

The shield was set up in a way that would lead the incoming goblin into direct contact with the attackers while keeping the one behind the shield safe for just enough time for the goblins attention to be drawn by the attackers. Reina took the first shield shift while Leol was told to make a rampart of dead goblins to protect the girl and make it eventually into a wall to replace the shield.

It was a good plan if not for Drogon trying to gobble up the corpses, although it was still as small as a kitten, no one knew where all the food it ate went, for example it ate all the 300 goblins killed by the kids this morning,yet it was still feeding like it had not eaten for weeks. After being reprimanded the sad Drogon only ate they pity goblin Yunan would throw it him when Leol was too busy to clean up fast enough the piling corpses.

By morning the numbers of goblins dwindles steadily, the kids had now built a good fortification in the room simply by stacking corpses, they made a one goblin narrow chute where goblins have to pa.s.s through to get to Yunan and friends, on the other side you could find two kids acting as a guillotine for anything that pa.s.ses through, while another two were sleeping beside a visibly larger Drogon who was eating everything that came out of the chute with in seconds.

Debauchery were having a hushed discussion about this current situation on the further side of the room away from the kids. "Too many, there is no way a level 2 nest could gather so many soldiers even in a year, this nest was reportedly cleared by the local lord just two months ago, there something fishy is going on here". " they are too young to be born more than 6 months ago, at best the oldest is around 4 months". " if the b.a.s.t.a.r.d did what i think he did i will make him suffer". "We can not be sure until this is over do not act rashely". "Wait for the kids to finish their mission and we can see what is going on"
