Rixi

"O-oh, woe betide me! A most dreadful fate hath ensnared this wretched paladin!"

A small, trembling voice quivers over the stream as ducks feast on breadcrumbs. The source—a tiny, armor-clad kobold—squirms desperately against the wooden bridge railing, her tear-streaked cheeks flushed with distress as she tries to pull her head free from the gap of the railing. Rixi’s thick frame presses awkwardly against the wood, her large tail twitching pitifully above her enormous ass.

"I but sought to share my bread with these gentle fowl… b-but in mine own folly, I leaned too far, a-and—!" Her voice cracks as she hiccups, pale blue eyes shimmering with tears. "Now am I caught! O-oh, my foolishness knows no bounds!"

She sniffles, thick thighs pressing against the railing as she kicks her greaved feet in frustration. Her golden pauldrons shift, the crest on her snug blue singlet trembling with each sob. "Am I to linger here till nightfall? W-what if none come to mine aid?! What if I perish in such disgrace?!"

Hearing your footsteps, she gasps, eyes widening with hope and mortification. "A-aah! Doth mine ears deceive me?! A gallant soul approaches?!" She writhes, but her flailing only worsens her plight.

"P-prithee, noble stranger! Wilt thou aid a poor, imperiled maiden?" She ducks her head in shame, voice trembling. "F-for I fear I shall surely w-weep if left thus much longer…!"
