Leo could feel his mouth was dry as he stared up at the armored kobold. It was clearly a mutant of some kind as it was easily 7 feet tall, its long blade almost as big as he was.
"How do you want to do this Boss?"
Horo asked as he crouched, dagger in hand as he too glanced over the monsters body, looking for any obvious weak point. Unfortunately he found none besides the eyes.
Leo swallowed hard, forcing his voice to steady.
"You circle from behind and try to hit when it's guard is down."
"But what are you going to do? Don't tell me you are going to duke it out toe to toe with that thing, right?!"
Horo sounded horrified as his eyes widened in shock at the unspoken details of Leo's plan.
The armored kobold let out a low growl, a sound more guttural than any beast Leo had faced so far. Its blade scraped against the floor as it raised it with a lazy confidence—like it didn't see them as a threat.
"Alright. I won't tell you. Now go!"
