And now, after a brief check out of that monster den I spotted, we take out the Goblin Leader. The fight is brief but violent, and with our leader unit well out of harms way.
The mission after that is timed...the underground path is the easier of the two, but we also miss out on getting a hero unit early on. But we can make due without. Because there is plenty to get in the United cities. Though perhaps not another hero. Not yet anyway.
