"Ruut's right. Fear is a path which can be effective, if you walk the fine line separating 'not worth worrying about' and 'worth anything to exterminate'. This...this crosses that line...besides, if we help them, this opens up alternate paths to success. Leaving him, letting him die, leads merely to various choices of exile."
Johnathan glances at the warrior. "Of course, there is one slight hitch. Needless to say, if we appeared as-is, he would suspect we were in league with the goblins. Aeri, could you make all of you look human? Or at least Warrick?"

If he agrees:
"Excellent. Please do so. Warrick? You take the left, I'll take the right. Careful--whatever's going on, it's fishy, and I wouldn't be surprised if these were a bit tougher than normal. Ruut, sit back for now unless you have a bow or something concealed and you're confident you won't hit any of us on accident. Aeri, dispel or comfuse the goblins if you can, but if you can't stay with Ruut. Everyone understand?"
Attack the goblins, taking the right side, stabbing at goblins with my spear.

If Aeri disagrees:
"Hm. That's unfortunate. Well, we can't just leave him. Stay back unless I'm in dire danger, I'll help."
Attack the goblins alone.

"This is boring. You're just doing the same thing over and over again. Heck, even the romance scenes between Victoria and Selina had a little variety. 'Darnos cuts Jeb.' 'Jeb regenarates.' It's annoying. And there's not exactly anything else to do. So, I'm going to try something. There's really only one way this ends badly, and it would still be worth it to break this idiotic cycle."
Alex grabs Darnos's head and kisses him on the lips.

((...This might be a good time to remind Xantalos that, since Alex looks exactly like Angel, he is...ahem...attracted to her.))

Since this most likely going to be a closed ecosystem I think we should make everything symbiotic, but they will also worked together to defend themselves.

To some extent or another, +1.
It will be like Soviet Russia, but less prone to corruption and incompetence!

...the leftovers didn't dissipate like the ones did yesterday evening...

Isn't this the first night we spent here?

---

Carl awakes. He stretches, brushes against Selina on accident. He recoils a bit.
"Um. Selina, are you awake?"

((Out of curiosity, how will my magic work?))

Darnos is interrupted.
"He won't break, you know. He cheats."

On the upside, you feel you understand Life magic better.

((Understanding gained: "I shouldn't do that ever again. EVER."))

Attempt to counter the life magic with force magic, without hurting him. Or getting squashed.
