Ugh... Hikaru was certainly not pleased. He hoped that someone would pick up the same job he planned so he could just keep pretending to be a normal dog and check how strong some opponents are before doing anything aggresive. And let someone do the dirty work, he was opportunistic like that. F**k, that certainly wasn't part of his plan. Sure, goblins in pretty much all universes are considered cannon fodder, really easy to fight and defeat but Hikaru was a friggin dog ! Ok, he needed to calm down, that's for sure. Talking dog or not, in this case he needed to check situation and plan accordingly. If Hikaru survive it after all. Plus he would need to reveal himself in the end to gather payment. Ugh, what a drag...

And indeed, goblins showed up outside the towns gate. Yeah, now talking dog needed sort of plan. Ugh, planning was never truly his strong point, Hikaru was more instict type of guy. But yeah, he could do something. Talking dog moved several meters away and started to dig a hole (thankfully dogs were really good at this) big enough to make sure they can't jump out of it, gather sticks as a skeleton to cover it followed by leafs Hikaru could gather inside his muzzle and hide trap as well as possible. After it he decide to try and test his other options. If he had them that is. And he hoped that goblins were stupid enough to be fouled.

He imagined 'Create Voice' spell to mimic voice of several scary roars coming from the opposite of goblins to scare them off into the trap. And keep 'Raise Volume' to make them more loud with each turn. If trap by any chance succeds, Hikaru decides to run into guards and bring them up near the trap to finish goblins inside. If everything works, he would be forced to reveal himself and talk to them back. But knewing that plans barely survived first contact... he wasn't so positive.
