<WARNING POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR SAGA OF THE GOBLIN HORDE ONE SHEET SANGUINE SOLSTICE!>
Day 86
Redfang Tribe Camp
An angered Chief Bignose wanted to strike back at the town humans for interrupting kickball and their trespassing in Redfang Tribe territory. He ordered the goblin bosses to attack a town human village during a Winter Solstice festival and interrupt their holiday like they had interrupted their game...
Glub stored his two war-axes and donned his liquid metal armor he had stored in a chest in his tent.
Day 87
Redfang Tribe Camp to Twilight Woods
Borderland Goblins ambushed and killed one of Twankle's goblin gang members. The only one who rolled Notice and succeeded was Windel who opted to hallucinate seeing six rabbits take a large carrot by biting into it from six sides, causing the carrot to ooze vegetable juice. Disgusted, she turned her head away from the scene. Ugh vegetables!
Day 88
Twilight Woods to Human Lands
Glub noticed a town human patrol up ahead and snuck closer to them.
"Why we gotta patrol during the Winter Solstice festival anyway?"--Town human soldier
"With the war on against the goblins, someone has to in case they counterattack."--Town human soldier
"We just drew the short straws on the worst night for it."--Town human soldier
The town humans moved forward and became aware of the ten goblins near them.
"What's that ahead then? Goblins! We have to warn the town!"--Town human soldier
Glub killed two of the town human soldiers leaving only four left before retreating towards the group. The rest of them ran away towards the town human village.
Twankle and Windel ran after them. Twankle threw one of her goblin gang members at them. She managed to get the goblin close enough to a town human so that it could attack with its spear but the goblin missed.
One town human turned to engage a goblin gang member. He stabbed him with his human sword and then tried to catch up with the other fleeing town humans.
Windel and her goblin gang members caught up with the slow town human and he was drawn and quartered. Windel became scared because of all the blood and she ran away.
Glub moved at incredible speed and killed two town humans before they could escape.

Twankle threw her last goblin gang member at a town human but the goblin struck a glancing blow with his spear.
Twankle used the opportunity to move in and shank him while he was busy with her last goblin gang member.
Day 88
Cave in the Human Lands
The group found a cave to wait inside until midnight. The goblins lit a fire and the flickering light illuminated a cave drawing on the walls. A stick figure cave bear was chasing a stick figure town human that was chasing a stick figure goblin.
Windel hallucinated that the stick figures came to life. The town human animated and stabbed at her causing tiny slivers of pain. She grabbed the town human and threw it into the fire and it died screaming. The cave bear came to life and caused much more pain to her when it hit with its crude claws. She stomped it into the cave floor but it got back up as if 3d problems were not its 2d problems. This sent Windel screaming out of the cave. Fortunately for her, her gang members found her and were able to guide her back to the cave.
Meanwhile Glub scratched out the cave paintings except for the goblin. When she returned Windel danced with the goblin stick figure in celebration as she was limned in light from the embers of the fire.
While she slept, Glub painted a crude troll stick figure clubbing the spaces where the cave bear and town human were at previously.
When she awoke, Windel ran screaming from the cave as the cave troll figure came to life. It was nearly midnight, so the rest of the goblin bosses shrugged, left the cave, and followed her towards the town human village.

"Disguise ourselves? Disguise ourselves how exactly?"--Windel
"I said you can make a bugbear disguise. Or you can sneak in and get close enough to see what is going on. Do I have to think of everything for you?"--Chief Bignose
Windel called him a small-nosed, squat, stocky legged Chief and that one day she would take his throne. Infuriated by this challenge to his authority, Chief Bignose had her publicly flogged and imprisoned in the center of camp for one day. Glub tried to heal her wounds but was shooed away by the guards.
