Red remained calm through the whole situation. He already had a plan and followed it through. It was to escape the moment he was found out, even though he planned to stay a little bit longer.
His arms were still sore and were still trembling, his chest a little bit tight from the crash. He absorbed most of the force with the block. His reaction helped him to block that kick, and he knew it was thanks to the Mystic Chef's blessing.
'It's a good decision to give Darla that glowing stone.'
He didn't immediately leave the village, assessing the situation. How did he get found out? He didn't make a noise, but the house he was in was quickly surrounded. It was as if the kobold was confident the enemy was there. He made sure to kill the small kobold before it could scream.
"Maybe the blood?"
Maybe the kobold had a sharp nose and could smell the fresh blood. That made sense if that was the case. The blood was still spilled even if he got rid of the body by exchanging it for loot.
