I was actually hanging out at the local baddie pub when that strategy meeting took place. Like you thought, they were throwing around ideas for combinations that might take down Gizmo and crew. Suddenly a Balron jumped up and said, “Hey Y’all, hold my ale and watch this!” He fired up a summoning circle and contacted all his Balron buddies and told them to meet him near the mountains and they would ambush Gizmo. The strategy was was similar to an Oprah giveaway…You get a nap, you get a nap, EVERYBODY gets a nap. But, like most monster strategies it didn’t last long. Gizmo and the gang prevailed in the end.
