As Anki had expected, the Kobolds were barely any trouble at all for the group of highly capable adventurers. Her own geomancy combined with Fei's martial arts and Srikandi's expert sword fighting skills made it very clear to the Kobolds just how utterly outmatched they were despite their superior numbers. It was hardly surprising. After all, one hundred ants are still just easily killed ants in the end, and in essence this one-sided "battle" (if it can even be called that considering it was closer to a massacre) wasn't very different from that. The Kobold leader were evidently at least smart enough to realize the hopeless situation that he and his brethren had gotten themselves in, as it soon signaled a frantic retreat to avoid an imminent total wipeout. [color=DEB887]"Mmm."[/color] Anki mumbled softly as she watched the Kobolds running with their tails between their legs, some literally so in their panicked attempt to protect their dear life. She then relaxed her posture, letting her scepter rest slanted against her left shoulder. Since they've completely abandoned the notion of fighting and was now running away, Anki saw little reason to continue attacking them. [color=DEB887]"I suppose that is that then..."[/color] She looked around briefly, finding that the other adventurers with her were all pretty much fine as expected. On the other hand, Kobold corpses littered the area, soon to be consumed by nature to fulfill the circle of life as it should be. Satisfied with her brief observation, she turned to Srikandi as the party leader asked if anyone was hurt during the fighting. Anki walked over closer to Srikandi, slowly shaking her head briefly before answering. [color=DEB887]"I am fine and unharmed, Ms. Srikandi... It should be no trouble for me if we are to continue our travel."[/color] Of course, just like the others Anki have yet to realize the young dragon flying towards them, far away across the mountains as it was...
