I could barely see through all the blood in my eyes, my head was constantly aching and the ringing in my ears seemed louder than a mating minotaur...okay maybe not that loud. I struggled to my hands and knees lifting my small bruised body out of the sloshing mud and glanced up.

Ah I forgot about that. That kobold......OH SHIT THAT KOBOLD! Without much thinking I leapt to my feet trying to ignore my pain. I desperately looked around for anything I could use as a weapon. AH-HAH! Crat's dagger was only a few steps away. I ran over to it as fast as I could with my short legs and grasped it in my hands.

Without further ado I once again looked at the kobold who was now advancing on our fallen escort.

'think think think think COME ON BRAIN FIND A WEAKPOINT!!'

Then suddenly my eyes darted to an obvious and exposed weak point, like a mosquito to blood my whole being was solely focused on advancing to said vulnerability.

"SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR KNEECAP YOU BASTARD!!! "
