Lilt... made one of the gravest mistakes any adventurer could make. Freeze. She watched in horror as the club swiped in an arc with her in the path. She didn't even move... not till it had already collided with her body and sent her tiny form hurtling into the ground she was standing on violently, bounce up and cart wheel in the air. She landed roughly on her arms and knees.

She felt nothing at first. Confused, she tried to stand. And made a pained and violent gag. She teetered as she sputtered blood. Gravity threatened to make her its dirty little mistress and pull her to the ground for good. But... a kobold's will is stronger than such natural forces. And miraculously, she pushed her self back to her feet. Her breathing had been reduced to a rattling wheeze, as she stumbled about in place.

A moment later, and she found herself being thrown across the gap and landed harshly behind rubble in a roll. She looked up to the orc with a hint of annoyance, but said nothing. The intent was appreciated none the less. As she rose back to her feet once again, she took note of everything going on around her. First the Orc bailing, after collecting some things from the hideout. Then the human barbarian absconding.

She got the message, and she wasn't about to dally. With a pained grunt she spun and took a step... about to make her leave herself. She paused and glanced regretfully back to the two still by the orc. More specifically... the Paladin, as the other had already earned her ire.

Her gaze shifted to her own pitiful state and back to the paladin. And with a regretful grimace, she turned her attention to the Cyclops ready to make a gamble. She climbed down the building, taking the safest path possible. She made a hacking cough before raising her voice loud enough to be heard by the cyclops...

[color=ec008c][b]"Koboldssssss... dissslike competition with cyclopssss.... they've alwaysss had their eye on the prize."[/b][/color] She visibly grimaced to her own joke. They were never her strongest point... but unfortunately she had to come up with something on the fly.

She spun about and darted off in the direction of the temple, taking a route that would break line of sight with the monster in case her attempt to give them a chance to escape did not work. But she'd stay close enough for the paladin to catch up.
