It is very possible to notice scouts, especially when they take as little care to hide themselves as I did. I had been expecting a visit from the invaders.

The kobold cursed at me in his language, and did no such thing.

"I know you think you're being stealthy, but you're just wasting time."

It isn't just their second tier tissues; I had those. In most cases, it was just a free plus one to your statistics. Those were easy enough to come by.
