Point out that there are more of these alien beings, and that we should probably avoid antagonising them for the moment.

Yes, but also describe the visit to their lands thoroughly.

Be sure to emphasize how they have access to powerful magic which we couldn't dream of, enough that the least of peasants have it abundantly.

Aw fuck, am I psychic or what?
Anyway, do Wyrm's plan.

Also, there's a buggery joke in your post somewhere.  I'm just too tired and lazy to do more than chuckle at it. Something like, y'know, finding it.

They are on our planet, so hopefully they are more open to strange fauna.

He was probably chosen for being open-minded and wise, like most leaders.
I'm sigging this at some point. Do you realise that's humans you're talking about?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Anyway now we know why the humans were getting agitated.

My bet is more along the lines of "uh, guys, there's a problem: [insert here one or more amongst: food shortage, communication problem, political tension, local wildlife related problem, disappearance, they found out gobbos, this week-end concert is canceled...]"
Disappearance? check.

So yes to that. Do you have some story about goblins that killed an unknown creature and ended up being annihilated by the mama? If not, make one up.

Also "If that thing was a weapon, how do you kill with it? It should have a pointy end, no? I've seen and touched such things, and they are innofensive, if mysterious."

Kaian, to be fair, the humans did leave the "Alien Killing Mechs" back home.

Well, maybe that was just so they could figure out a way to build tanks without weaknesses to a primitive spear.


Also, don't be too quick to dismiss the concert theory.  Those men could be part of the band.

It's the "like most leaders" that made my day.

Back on track, emphasize on how much screwed we are if the pale-skins are killed. Their tribe is already out searching them, and can certainly level the area if they want to.

"Wait!" You cry.

The chief turns to look at you. "Arkun-sha?" He says. "You've returned just in time! These... THINGS! Were trying to sneak into the Stones!" He references a great ring of stones, a natural formation slightly to the south of here. You passed it on your way back, in fact. It's a very holy site to your people, and tresspass is a serious offense.

But still! "You mustn't! I was just at their tribe, if you had seen what I've seen you'd-"

"Be afraid?!" He bellows. "I fear no creature! Certainly no Heathens!"

"Please," You beg, "Don't kill them. Their tribe wil return looking for them and-" He scoffs, making you somewhat upset. "Remember the tale of the Longear and Spiderrat!" It's an old tale, a respected one about not messing with a creatures young. To put it shortly, the Longear ends up quite dead at the end of the story, despite being bigger and better equipped to fighting than the Spiderrat.

The chieftan sneers, and half the tribe with him. The others look somewhat disturbed. You spot Ulla, looking stone-faced and staring coldly at the Chief.

"This is no time for stories. This is a time for ACTION!" And he draws a dagger from his pouch and drives it into the eye of the nearest alien. The others loose high pitched wails and begin to thrash wildly.

The tribe is in a uproar. A almost civil war is breaking out, fists are flying! Goblin fights goblin, and in the midst stands Ulla-sha, still staring coldly at the Chieftan as if she was surrounded by no more than a stiff breeze. He glares back. "Find me a new shaman. And commence the rest of the Executions."

You have a chance to get up there, but ending the executions would surely mean exile. Is it worth the risk?
