No, he wouldn't challenge us.

Stop him, and make up some shamanistic bull about the aliens coming with the protection of --gods, ancestors, whatever the hell these guys believe in-- and say we're here to help the two races coexist.  Then start to free the colonists and bring them back.  Tell the rest of the Goblins to stay away, and make sure the aliens know we mean them no harm.

If the chieftain opposes us, kick his ass.  Preferably with help.

Let me rephrase:

The old Chieftain would not accept a challenge from a young, recently graduated apprentice of the ex-shaman during the tribe's civil war that happened to break out during the execution of other-worldly beings.

Him not excepting would dishonor us both greatly. He would be saying we are weak to fight, but he is to much a coward to fight us.

I doubt he really cares that much.  In case you guys didn't notice, there is a fucking fight going on right now.

I agree. Knife him to death.
Or simply knock him out and free the humans. If the one who had his eye poked out is still alive, quick first aid (stop bleeding and such).

There's a fight starting right now. Besides, I doubt he'd want to lose honor under any circumstances, given his high status.

If they were all paying attention to him, yeah.  But they aren't, they're distracted by fighting others.  Anything this guy can do to win, I think he will.  He doesn't seem like the most honorable chap.
And there's more at stake than his honor.  He's old, and he's about to kill a colonist.  Chances are he'll just pretend to not hear us over the din of the revolution in the background.  Karne even pointed out this possibility.

Also, remember time is of the essence for both sides here.  The colonists might find us, they've probably phoned home that there could be hostiles out here.  It's possible they saw or received a message from the captured party at the time.  Maybe they heard the message end in an "urk!" or something.
And last time, the fight we had from a challenge took at least a day to set up.

If the colonist who had his eye stabbed out survives, they could always rebuild his eye, they have the technology

The real question is: does he have the money?

Or use him to fight crime with his laser-eye or something.

That is what "laser-eye" surgery is, right?

Nope.

How about we challenge him by shouting a challenge as we attack him?

I'm fine with a compromise, of sorts.


We probably should aim to incapacitate rather than to kill him.

Either way. Incapacitation is ideal.
