[Center][color=7D8C81][H1]Goblin Aya[/H1][/color][/Center] One of the older goblins had pointed out to Aya the value of adding weights to her net when she built it. Of course she was already planning something along these lines, probably owing to the burst of information she’d received earlier, but now that she properly thought about it she realised she wasn’t sure where the proper balance lied. The heavier the weights were the harder the net would be to escape, and that would be important, especially considering the unknown strength of their prey, but at the same time, if they went too heavy then they wouldn’t be able to throw the net effectively in the first place. For that matter what was the optimal distribution of the weights? Aya didn’t have time to draw a conclusion, for from seemingly out of nowhere one of her brothers appeared, shoved a pelt and horn into her hands, said something about thinking not being able to fill her stomach and began dragging her away from her sisters and out of the church. Was this brother an idiot? How did he expect her to survive without thinking? Wait, had he actually haunted a horned rabbit already? Did that mean the wildlife was weaker than she’d imagined or had this brother just gotten lucky? Well considering the number of siblings she had, Aya guessed it made sense that if they all flung themselves into danger at least a few might come out unscathed. Wait. Was that how goblins survived as a species? It suddenly made sense why they aged so quickly and somehow it was because of an even worse fate! Aya didn’t particularly want to become another statistic in the presumably astronomical goblin death toll, but her brother did have a point on one thing, she would need to act eventually and as things were relying on this brother might just be her best chance at survival for the time being. Maybe she could even save his life while she was at it. Putting on her best attempt at charisma, which is to say adopting a grin befitting a slasher villain, Aya began trying to convince Argos not to throw them both headfirst at death, [color=7D8C81]"Er- brother… I agree that thinking won't feed me, but I still think planning is important… think of it as hitting a horned bunny, if you’re strong you can whack it harder but if you’re smart you can use a tool or something and whack it better?"[/color] Aya didn’t know why she presented that last part as a question, [color=7D8C81]"Brother killed a rabbit, so you’re probably strong, but you could also fight smart, and then you could hit harder and better. The best of both worlds."[/color] Hopefully, that had been convincing enough, but that still left the problem of actually proposing and selling this goblin on a plan that wouldn’t see them both impaled, splattered, disembowelled or having suffered any number of other grizzly deaths by the end of the day. [color=7D8C81]"I think I might be able to help you with the hitting better part,"[/color] that was a lie, Aya wasn’t particularly smart by her own reckoning and she certainly didn’t think her ideas would be the game-changer she was trying to make them out as, [color=7D8C81]"How about for now we don’t plan too hard and instead just look for something to hunt. If we find something that looks like it isn’t any stronger than a horned rabbit we can devise a plan to ambush it otherwise we can try making a trap for whatever we find?"[/color] That was a terrible, terrible plan and Aya could feel a tightness in her chest as her panic began to rise. There was so much that could go wrong and Aya was pretty sure she’d just suggested something that had a good chance of getting one or both of them killed, but given the circumstances, the speed things were moving at and the fact the goblins had clearly slotted into an evolutionary niche that same them dying in troves, she couldn’t think of anything else to do.

[*]Aya realised that goblins probably survived as a species by having lots of babies rather than any of those babies being particularly likely to survive. [*]Aya tried to convince Argos not to just charge into battle but to find a middle ground between brains and brawn. More specifically she tried to convince him to help her scout and then either set a trap or ambush as the situation calls for. [*]Aya panicked some more. [/list][/hider]
