The kobold's tail started wagging furiously as his tongue lolled out, pleased to be greeted like this. 

[b]"Yes. Yes enemy. Bad come to farm. Bad harvest with enemy. Come. Come now. Enemy soon." [/b]

The barks and yips of faraway kobolds could still be heard in various intensity as they followed the guard. The furhook berries shrubs they passed seemed almost ripe, with many already weighting heavy on their branches, ready to snag onto any furry animal. Once harvest comes, the kobolds would be running up and down the rows of shrubs, shaking off the berries onto a basket every now and then. Primarily used like a vegetable because of their sweet acidic taste, these would also be used to make a sweet mead the lamias seemed to particularly enjoy. 

For now the farm only hosts apprehensive kobolds, with a particularly more well equipped kobolds standing out nearer to the main storehouse, wearing a thicker leather and fabric armor as well as a very well made shield. Even the rock axe he wielded seemed a step up from the rest of the clubs and axes the rest had.

[b]The Kobold Chief and his retinue.[/b][/center]

From the way they were positioned and the way the Kobold Chief was arranging the men he had, it was obvious they were the frontlines. The other kobolds were positioned strangely however, staggered too far to make a holding line feasible. With yips and barks, the calls kept getting closer and closer, until two kobolds burst from the foliages in front of them, holding their weapons in their mouths as they scampered past the group. By now every single kobold in the farm had stood up, gripping their weapons at the ready, as the far away yips and barks were noticeably clipped and shorter in tone. 

By now even those who weren't well versed in the kobold language knew what that meant.

[i]Danger close. Beware friends.[/i]

With a mighty rustle of leaves and snapping of twigs, the danger in question leapt out into the opening.

The 2 foot tall beast let out a mighty honk.

The battle... begins?
