Lina paused on entering the arena, frowning as she set foot onto the cold sand. The sight of the kobold made her relax, if only slightly. A kobold...they were covered in a degree of natural armor, which could make this interesting. She eyed the kobold for a moment, then slipped behind one of the pillars to get out of sight of the kobold. She didn't want to take it<em>too</em>lightly. But she waited for it to come closer before finally slipping out from behind the pillar to stab at its back!<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the kobold had actually anticipated her, and brought the club around<em>hard</em>, clipping her head, if only just, and dazing her for long enough for it to hit her in the gut, winding her through her armor. She rolled backward a couple of steps to get a moment, then feinted at the kobold's gut, causing it to start blocking down below...only for her other dagger to sink into its neck, dropping the creature at last, and leaving her winded and worried about what might be coming.
