One day until the attack.
Jaren gathered everyone at the boulder where he had announced the tournament. On top he explained what they all would do the next day. He called forward Pipin from the crowd to stand next to him and explain what he saw during his scoutings.
Looking over his brethren Pipin didn't feel nervous. Contrary to that, he felt confident. Those goblins down there were not all from his group, but he was still all of their superior. Standing next to the great boss.
He started talking when he realized he just stood there. Jaren even putting his hand on Pipin's shoulder and shaking him.
He snapped out of his thoughts.
'Every day the beast goes to sleep just after long after we do. Just when the great moon is at its peak. But before he goes to sleep, he comes to the edge of the river and watches us.' he pointed to the other side of the river. and the others their eyes followed.
'The beast is stronger than any of us can imagine but it does have one weakness. A red one on its neck . A stab wound that has not healed, and probably never wil as it is infected. It sleeps in a cave about 500 meters into the forest'
Jaren was curious as to what caused such a wound. Whatever caused it must have been more dangerous than the beast, or dead.
He thanked Pipin for his explanation and stepped up to the front again 'Listen you dimwits we only get one chance at this, if we fail we die. It is as simple as that.' The others were already afraid as their instincts told them that whatever this creature was, It would be hard to kill.
'But I have trained you all for this day. Whatever lies on the other side is not a match for us. We are not only a stronger team, but also a smarter one. You all just need to follow my plan. And I'm sure, we will kill it.'
The extra's looked up with wonder. That man above them, was their boss, he made them survive till this point, he had to be right. Nobody cheered, all of them admired as Jaren shinned in the sun like a diamond. XD
Jaren then proceeded to explain the plan.
It would go as followed. They all would pretend to be asleep so the beast did not suspect anything odd from them.
After it went to sleep in its cave, Gooba his team would lace the the dark forest with all of the traps, barriers he had prepared. They then would stand upon the tree branches and wait. Their arrows ready to fly.
The barriers Gooba had created would be in a circle so they could trap the beast. Before they could trap it, Eli's group would lure it into the barricade.
Gooba's group would unleash all of the arrows on it.
Then boksen his group would distract it, as the Ninjas would attack it from were it was not looking. When the ninjas where tired, Eli's squad would jump in and so they would switch when the time was right.
In the final hour when the beast was at its lowest point, Jaka's group would swarm it. Jaren and bleux would then step in and attempt to stab it were it hurted. Adding the finishing touch to their plan.
Jaren looked at the south side of the camp were Jaka's group did not even pay attention to the plan. He did not want to pay attention to them in their plan. Bleux was persistent though, saying that they could fill up the holes in his plan.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞 he thought. After he was done explaining his plan, everyone scattered. He went to the archers who occupied the space around Gooba his hut.
Seeing if they kept up with the plan.
Eight goblins were all working in unison preparing the traps. Jaren walked over snippers of wood that were scraped of to sharpen a sticks. They all were to occupied with their inventing, but still gave Jaren a little nod
He got pushed to the side, Boko was standing over him with a worried look. Pointing at the spot he was heading, jaren saw a bear trap 'Very dangerous.' Boko said. "Out off everyone why are you here?" Jaren thought.
He got pulled back up and both headed to the squad leader his hut. They made it bigger than before. After all, how was Gooba going to store all his traps in a hut that was the same size as before.
Just like Before Gooba was tinkering, but this time he was talking to Boksen. He said next to Gooba, trying to attach a rock to the end of his club. Twisting and bending a piece off rope around the rock and club.
'Agh, I can't do this, are you sure you explained it right.' Boksen said irritated. A little bit nervous Gooba said:' I think I did, let me try then I can see what I said wrong.'
He gently took the club and the rock out of the big goblins hands and proceeded to tie the two together. 'I don't know maybe you need to try again.' Gooba said afraid. 'sure.' boksen replied.
'Your pretty good at that Gooba.' Jaren said, bending over the scrawny goblins shoulder. Gooba was already sitting, but he still crashed to the ground. Breathing for air he thanked Jaren for the compliment. The Boss then asked how far the traps came allong.
As expected Gooba was well on schedule. The scrawny goblin could not waste the chance Jaren gave him. Gooba was going to be his very best self.
The two continued to have a conversation together while Boksen watched on and tried to tie his club together.
But now he was not frustrated. As he remembered the beautiful thing he would do soon. When the two were done talking and did the forminalities, jaren left again and Boksen ran after him.
'Bos, boss. I need to tell you something.' Boksen purposely made his face one of worry.
'What is it Boksen?' Jaren was confused, Boksen did not talk to him. Ever. And the fact that he was worried also meant that the situation had to be dire for sure. Right?
Boksen looked around, as if he was scouting for danger and whispered 'Jaka said he is going to kill Bleux. And after that, he'll try to do the same to you.'
