He fights back, the smart way, and wins!

Seeing no other option the Kobold rushed towards the guards, clutching his bag of holding and reached into it and took out a piece of flint rock he had found, rushing between the legs of the soldiers he watched the wizard prepare an acid spell. With a flick of his wrist Scorchscale threw the sharp edged rock at him, hoping that it would make his spell disrupt into worthless sparkles. It succeeds as the rock strikes with a natural twenty and the wizard fumbles his spell as the rock strikes his forehead, leavign a deep gash.

Then the adventurers came and began to rush towards him, he threw out a handful of dried Ogre Dung, releasing a cloud of smelly dust into the air. Which in turn caused the soldiers to coughed and gag when they failed their fortitude save rolls, which had resulted in them swallowing some of the foul dust. The kobold then saw the dwarf ranger move towards him with his blunderbuss, a gleeful look on his face. Not able to keep himself calm the panicking Kobold threw out what he first gripped in his bag, four Boomshroms and a Fire Beetle Stomach. The shrooms just landed on the ground around them, not able to do much with their soft texture. But the beetle stomach struck the muzzle of the gun, getting stuck on it,, leaking its body fluids all over the once clean weapon. While the ranger cursed and removed the gut from his gun Scorchscale ran towards the forest lines and the ranger aimed for him, and fired.

The stomach fluids of a Fire Beetle is flammable, so when the ranger fired his Fire Beetle stomach fluid drenched weapon it let out a sudden rush of flames, which struck at least one of the boomshrooms around him, ending up in a massive explosion as all the shrooms exploded into a growing sphere of fire, leaving several burning corpses. At first Scorchscale had been shocked but then he realized that he, Scorchscale, the weakest and non-talented of kobolds, had just defeated a group of adventurers along with a npc guard patrol on his own! He was giddy when he looted the corpses and took the two horses and the wagon they pulled and took them into the marshes towards home, he had discovered a way for him to truly survive when in danger, he'd become an Alchemist!

Meanwhile after a day the rumors about a powerful Kobold using a powerful explosion to wipe out a patrol of over twenty men, the corpses had been unable to be identified, on its own from what the druids had gathered from the animals in the marshes. It grew into overstated proportions and soon people were talking about a dragon blowing up patrols in the marshes, while the papers stated that it had been a powerful kobold sorcerer who had blown up the patrol. And rumors, news and gossip, always drew attention to those who sought it, adventurers. Scorchscale's life was going to turn very interesting, very soon, especially when he would realize that he had leveled up from the victory.
