You attempt to cast an illusion of a giant troll charging at the camp. A rampaging troll would look weird seeing how it's still an illusion.
Illusions can't do jack, except for distracting.
You succeed in casting, and create a full-grown troll, sadly not bigger then normal(roll=13). This should give you some time, as all the guards are already going over there and attempting to shoot it with arrows.
The ones that don't shoot hold spears to catch the troll. The only ones that didn't go somewhere else are the shamans and the chief, seeing how he demanded not to be interrupted.

After floating as fast as your air could carry you, which isn't all that fast, you see that your cultists are playing a game of knucklebones. Looks like they killed a squirrel for the bones.
You repossess Mongoose, but you have to defeat his mental state again. It went down in seconds, as it remains in fetal position, and the surroundings of his mindscape look rotted.
Then you rush in, kicking a hole in a part of the fence, crawl through and then you run as fast as your loaned feet can carry you, which is quite fast.
You arrive at the gathering of the shamans and the chiefs, and then yell that you challenge the goblin to a dual!

You are met with stunned silence, and the head shaman mouths a certain obscenity that everyone knows.
The goblin chief, however, jumps up and grabs a large axe. You have no idea how he's strong enough to hold the damned thing, It would be huge even by human standards.
There are some basic weapons in a nearby basket. An axe, a sword and a spiky flail. Might be better then your dinky dagger. Many rocks, and some sand  on the floor too, not to mention basic furniture is easy to get as tents are easy to enter.
What's your battle plan?

Grab the sword, lead the goblin to a tent, throw sand in his eyes, collapse tent, kill him while he can't do anything.

Edit: Kick him in the jewels (assuming gobbos have jewels) while necessary.

Sounds good...  Picking up sand in the middle of a fight could leave us vulnerable though.  How about we use our smoke pellet instead?  Maybe just slash his throat while he can't see?

Well, do the smoke pellet first, then, if it doesn't work, do my plan.

[gman8181]

Well I'm basically saying that we do use your plan, just with a smoke pellet instead of sand.

Oh, I didn't understand you.

[Gentlefish]

Why not sand him while we reach for our weapon? Scoop a handful up as we take off on our run and fling it at him before grabbing the sword.

Then tent, jewells, et cetera.

Beacuse it leaves us open to attack if it fails?

Well, I don't know the best way of facing him, I just posted a way to do the damned thing. If you guys find a really good way to do so, fell free, if not, I would be better to don't wate time in tactical hings that we don't really know.

Open with smoke pellet, follow with sand, the odds of actually hitting anything are fairly low, but sand has a decent spread and if they can't see then they are less likely to close their eyes in time to stop it... And yes, recollect our time as a goblin, we should be fairly well versed in goblin vulnerable points...

You pull out your pellet, and throw it right at his feet, leading to a perfect smoke.(roll=19)
While he recoils in surprise,  you grab a handful of sand and throw it in the general direction of his eyes. That turns out to be enough, as you hear him grunt in annoyance. (rol=18)
You pick up a sword, but the chief has gotten over his surprise from the smoke-sand attack and gives a downwards cleave with his axe. It gives a mighty WHAM!
Next to you.(his roll=8 -3 sand in the eyes=5)

You give an attack, but you drop your sword and almost fall of balance.(roll=1)
The goblin takes this opportunity, and attempts another whack. He hits. HARD. (his roll=20 -3 =1)
To your advantage, it seems he keeps a dull blade to inflict extra pain. You can ignore that, as long as it's your host taking the damage.
It breaks a few ribs on your right side, and it forces your collapse. His attempt to finish you off misses by inches (his roll=8-3=5) (your roll=8)

You pull yourself up and grab an axe from the basket. Then you perform the ancient human trick of "hey look over there!" and kick the goblin leader in the jimmies.
His codpiece takes a good bit of the attack, but he still cringes from the pain.  You follow up with an axe strike, which hits his arm. Sadly, an armored part.
He takes a swing, but missteps and proceeds to hit his foot. (his roll= 1-3= -2
He screams in pain, and can't get his axe out. You hit him in the chest, doing some clear damage, but he is a strong goblin.
the goblin's attempt to rip his axe loose ends in a disaster as he not only damages his foot further, but hits himself in the chin, causing him to bite off a bit of his tongue. (his roll=1)

You give a final whack with your axe, cutting his throat. (your roll=20)
He clutches his throat, attempting to use a health salve, but he can't through the panic.
You grab his axe.
When the goblins return to check on the commotion, you are standing on the table with the head of your adversary in left hand and the giant axe in the other.

You are exceptionally lucky, you know that? Another hit and your host would have been dead. If it wasn't for the sand, you'd have died in a single hit.

Well, that was a really good (and hilarious) update. Kitten Snot, you are improving your writing skills (compared to your other game, "You are Patient Zero". And yes, I've been lurking there, but by the time I finished reading, things were already screwed up, thats why I didn't post there).

Lets continue with the game:
Say that we are the new chief of the tribe, and that the tribesmen now belong to the Great God Putribilibus Carnifex.
Try to count the resources of the tribe, look for things that would need improvement, there should be plenty of them, as Gobbos aren't very smart.
Take some tribesmen back to the tower and make them dig tunnels.
(Optional) Make the gobbos farm MOAR DEATHROT

EDIT: grammar

[gman8181]

Everything above but have goblins start digging tunnels from this end and have the humans dig at the other end to meet up in the middle.  Getting goblins through town to our other tower would probably be more difficult.

Also heal up and see if we can't appoint a lieutenant to oversee things while we're gone.  Better yet, ask our god if we can summon a lesser but intelligent and loyal demon to act as a lieutenant for us.

[Gentlefish]

I think Put would like a cult. Let's get organized here. Summon the goblins, yeah, and tell them we speak for Put, and that they must now worship him under penalty of slow death. By rotting.

Then see if Put has anything to help us with.

[gman8181]

Assuming there aren't any rules against entities being the ruler of goblin tribes, we should also let these goblins know that "Mongoose" isn't our real form.  Don't want them to be loyal to our host's body instead of actually us.
