I kind of like the idea of shooting a bunch of wingless Sprites with 
parachutes over a castle wall.  That would cause a lot of confusion.

I think:

Since it would splat and die, lobbing the Muk would be going a bit 
far.  LightRaiders should only kill when they have to, goblins and 
orcs for sure, and other DCs if they must.  Face it, the Muk is 
the least physically dangerous Dark Creature.  But the Muk would be a 
hapless victim in this instance.  A couple barrels of Muk-tainted mud 
could be a good substitute.

If in a battle, firing the Loadstones should be okay.
