You throw him a party!

You have to wonder what they're teaching adventurers these days.

Any sane hero would wonder why a Fox Spirit had suddenly decided to stop running. They'd be at least a little suspicious of you, sitting on your hind legs in the middle of a forest grove, just waiting for your pursuer to burst through the underbrush. But the Knight chasing you is a special kind of stupid, and you're all too happy to educate him.

He crashes through a shrubbery, armor clanking and sword raised. His eyes are wild with rage. It only takes a second for him to spot you sitting there with a smug grin on your foxy face.

"You!" he bellows, charging right at you. Before he's made it halfway, the grove erupts in blinding light. Dozens of Will-o-the-Wisps pour out of the nearby trees and swarm the Knight, zapping him with tiny shocks of electricity. Each one by itself would be harmless, but together they make a giant, shiny ball of pain.

You're just fine. These guys are your besties. Fox Spirits get along great with Wisps, especially after your weekly game of dodgeball. They're more than happy to help you take down a big, nasty predator whose sword passes right through them.

The bright pink one is your favorite. You call it Tinkles.

The Knight collapses to the ground, stunned and out for the count. Wisps can't normally kill heroes- they're too weak to do anything other than paralyze. You, however, are not a Wisp. You daintily prance over and take a nibble on his big, dumb, 1-HP head.

DING! DING!

The Knight despawns and disappears. All but one Wisp fades into the aether to rest, leaving you and Tinkles to look over your new stat sheet.

Again you let out a high-pitched whine. A real Kitsune wouldn't have to choose, they'd have it all! Life is so unfair.
