A Small Blockage (Part 1)

"Good job little guys," Mao said, smiling. "You really helped us out there." 

The goblins gaped and they tilted their heads down a bit. Their pointed ears softened a little, and the humans reckoned it was because they were shy.

Very cute. 

Mao and the others chuckled, while the other humans nearby sneered to themselves. The aborigines had always looked down on goblins and found them ugly and disgusting. 

They did not understand what these people thought when they looked fondly at the critters! 

These expressions and sneers were not missed by the Alterrans, of course. 

The trip continued on and a few mobs were encountered, they were dealt with in a similar manner but with more ease. "Let's work together okay?" Mao told the goblins and somehow a team of goblins would integrate into the human ones. 

It was quite fun, with the humans dealing brute force while the goblins assisted and even guided where to attack.
