Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lord Zardoz" data-source="post: 651315" data-attributes="member: 704">Pits with PresentsOne of the most effective ways for Kobolds to cause the players problems is to arrange for pit traps which then have something else fall in with / after / on the players.What I would do is place a pit trap with some spikes at the bottom of the stairs set for a manual trigger (someone has to pull a lever to arm/trigger it).  You will need to arrange for the kobolds to hold the party at the bottom of the stairs, so a Porticulis door with a lock on it would work nicely.  When they are at the door trying to open it, hit the pit trap.Decorate the bottom of the pit trap with Tangle foot Bags to keep the victims from getting out easily.  Have a Sorcerer cast Grease on the stairs, so those who fall down fall in.Finally, you want to have a spiked log about as wide as the corridor with large wooden wheels handy.  The log will have spikes / swords / whatever on it.  This will roll down the stairs causing damage and bull rushing the players back towards the pit.For an encore, you can cast web on the opening of the pit, pour a bunch of oil down there, fasten a steel grate to the top of it, and set the players on fire.To do this, all you really need is a level 3 Sorcerer and maybe 10 or so Kobolds.END COMMUNICATION</blockquote>
