Old Dog and New Tricks

'So that's what it was!' Shye thought to himself after finally solving the mystery of how the blind kobold was able to precisely track him down.

It was…the scent of blood.

After shallowly cutting the kneepit of the kobold general, its blood stuck to the blades of his sword.

As a blind creature, although it couldn't see, its other senses like hearing and smelling were enhanced, thus, the strong scent of blood in his sword allowed the kobold general to accurately pinpoint his location.

'So it reacts when it hears a sound and when it smells blood huh?' Shye pondered as he revised the plan in his head.

Meanwhile, the kobold general started crawling on all fours, looking alarmingly chilling as it sniffed around in hopes of locating the little loathsome bastard who dared to disturb its peaceful slumber.
