[QUOTE="MarauderX, post: 3902496, member: 9990"] Without reading everyone else's responses... Traps, traps, traps. [list] Give them flour from a raided miller's wagon. Have the PCs throw off a trip wire that drops the flour from above, give an Obscuring Mist feel along with coating them in flour - negatives to Hide. Have a simple pit trap, then bait it with a frightened goblin wearing something gold on the other side. PC catches the goblin 'flatfooted' and charges straight into the pit trap. Add spikes and some disease at the bottom for nastyness. Prep a Gust of Wind or do the same with air pressure by having them open a major door to the outside. If the torches go out, they can't target too well, but the goblins can. Add tiny viper snakes that are released from a number of urns where the goblins keep them. They could fill a corridor if motivated by fire, and if the party retreats down the tunnel have it blocked off with a thorny mobile barricade moved into place. Drop one or two tiny viper snakes on them from above just for some creepy fun. Cave-ins in front of and behind the party are always fun until your torches run low. Drench a hall in oil or strong distilled spirits and light it up when the goblins hear the splash of heavy feet. No sight necessary.[/list] [/QUOTE]
