Does Fuu best the kobolds?

Fuu is outnumbered and outmaneuvered

The tone of the audience shifted from vague anticipation to raw excitement as the match began- a lone woman against five foes. The kobolds were quick to act. The one holding the shield immediately ran forward at Fuu, closing the gap quickly with his head down in a mad bullrush as he held the shield in front of himself like a battering ram.

The direct attack was obviously meant to hold her attention away from the others, but Fuu saw no real means to use that to her advantage. The shield was too wide and the kobold had caught her a little too flat footed for her to dance around him, so Fuu retreated, making hasty steps backwards as he barreled down on her. With no real time to think, she shifted slightly to the side and thrust out her spear, pushing into the shield and knocking the kobold backward.

Without a second thought, Fuu turned away from him, looking for the other assailants who were no doubt already closing in on her, only to let out a surprised gasp when the spear was yanked from her grip. It seemed she had pushed too hard, as the weapon was now lodged deep in the thick leather of the shield. The kobold stumbled backward, thrown off balance by her attack, and fell on his back, with the shield covering him and the spear pointed toward the ceiling.

"Scale-tooth launch!" a tiny voice off to Fuu's left yelled and Fuu flinched as a pair of small rocks struck her in the shoulder. Her eyes fixed on the pair of sling-wielding kobolds loading up another volley, and she brought her hands up to defend herself from the next attack.

"Launch!" the voice yelled again, and this time Fuu was ready. Her hand shot out to pluck one of the stones out of the air, but she quickly found that that was the least of her issues. The final pair of kobolds had somehow snuck around her, and had chosen this same moment for their attack. As Fuu dodged out of the way of the second incoming projectile, a pair of nets wrapped around her, one from either side to bind her legs and entangle her limbs.

Fuu stumbled forward, regaining her balance but only for a moment, as one of the kobolds tackled her form behind. He was much smaller than Fuu, but with her limbs caught up in the nets, the attack was well enough to knock her prone.

"It seems our challenger has been defeated!" Fan'Zwit'Zal's voice declared.

Does Fuu have any tricks up her sleeve?
