Red absorbed all the cores and continued his hunt. He was on a streak, excited to hunt more kobolds. His excitement beat his hunger, so he didn't bother to go back for lunch.
It took him some time to find the next group, and the next group was even a bigger group. A group of twenty kobolds, and it might be the same group he found in the morning. More kobolds meant more cores, but that was when he triggered Levelheaded and calmed down.
The fireball was strong, and he was confident in his bow. However, twenty kobolds were still too many. Another consideration was that the group had six archers, and he could not see the level of the two kobold archers.
He reminded himself that the sixteen kobolds were a lucky find. The group was engaging three Jakar. He got four free kills, and Jakar took down three kobolds out of sixteen. In another, he was hunting thirteen kobolds and having Jakar as a distraction. It might not work the same against twenty kobolds.
