It's been a while since I've actually let him live so I forget exactly what it was that made me be sure to always kill him. I
think it was because he was going behind my back and talking to Naho and/or threatening her or something? That's a big no-no in my book. Only I get to interact with my pets. Either way, I have no use for a kobold that can think for itself anyway. Kobolds that can think for themselves might start having funny thoughts like "maybe I
shouldn't let the dragon eat me" and that's simply not acceptable
