The dragoness slumps back against one of the trees, her limbs trembling weakly.

“I... I won’t let you... take me...” she groans, trying desperately to stand and continue the fight. Before you can do anything about the situation, however, you hear waves breaking just behind you. Turning, you see a horde of some two dozen spider-morphs approaching the little island. It seems Kiha’s made enemies of the swamp’s denizens, and you’ve finally taken the dragoness down hard enough that they’re coming for their sweet revenge.

You look down upon your fallen foe, who is now watching wide-eyed as the first spider-folk pull themselves up onto dry land, brandishing claws and fangs and clubs. For a moment, you’re sure you can see raw terror in her eyes.

“Oh, Marae,” she whimpers as a pair of driders come into view, both grinning wickedly as they take the lead of the horde.

To your surprise, Kiha hangs her head and whispers, “Just go, Tamokii. You’ve already beaten me, and they’ll punish me for my weakness... I deserve whatever’s coming to me. So JUST GO!”

You could make like a baker and move your buns, but Gods knows what will happen to Kiha if you do.
