[QUOTE="Cyrinishad, post: 7301241, member: 6808925"] Here's another angle on this situation, now that you have established that the Kobolds aren't just monsters to be destroyed, but are actually humanoids which are fully capable of both Good & Evil... Which means that when the PCs slaughtered the short, scaly dude, they were treading on Murder/Evil territory... So, you could flip the script on them, and have the remaining Kobolds be non-combatants that successfully flee and abandon their home, while the Orcs come to investigate the lair of their Kobold allies and end up fighting the PCs... THEN when the PCs get back to town they find that the Local Good Temple has given the remaining Kobolds sanctuary, and that the Kobolds have become converts of the Temple... If you are hoping to explore storylines or quests that involve them interacting with so-called "monstrous" humanoids in the future, it may be worthwhile to show them that there are more options on the table than killing... Perhaps one of the surviving Kobolds is the mother of the unfortunate volunteer, and she has already told the Priests how her son was convinced that these so-called "Heroes" were going to rescue their unfortunate tribe from the clutches of their Evil Kobold Chieftan, and his Evil Orc allies... But when her idealistic little Kobold Boy tried to help, these Murderous Adventurers revealed themselves to be genocidal monsters intent on killing defenseless Kobold women and children...:devil: [/QUOTE]
