Knowing that she wasn't entirely safe yet, as she still had to avoid the massive wave of water rushing towards her, Scaly continued running with all of her might, as she sometimes turned around to look at the mountain gnolls not too far behind her having completely given up on chasing after her as they were now just escaping in the same direction as her.
Even when the leading mountain gnoll managed to catch up to her and pass her, he didn't do anything to her. Instead, just continuing to escape.
Clearly, he understood very well that if he wasted even a single second trying to deal with her, he might end up wasting time he could have better used trying to escape. After all, no matter how valuable Scaly might be because of the mountain dwelling troll meat she had ended up eating, it meant nothing to him if he couldn't escape from the heavenly lake serpents.
