Against an impossible foe:
...tinker tailor soldier sailor poor man beggar thief tinker tailor soldier sailor poor man beggar thief tinker tailor soldier sailor poor man beggar thief... No, no, no, how can I have got here? I'm not a fighter! I tinker, I make beautiful things, I sell them for more than they are worth! Why am I in a fight? I'm a scoundrel, a thief, a cheat, but I never was a thug, never picked a fight, never won one! Not fair and square, at least! Fightingis out of the question. Running? Hiding? Where? Is there someone to defend me? A hole to crawl into? Oh, yes, Rakheet the coward, the sniveling, the craven, but I'd much rather be Rakheet the alive craven than the dead hero.
Thoughts run frantically into the little ratfolk's mind as he sprints away from the danger, hoping that someone else would pick up the fight and slow it down.
