[QUOTE="Aluvial, post: 5833372, member: 6862"] Get your hands on a copy of Dragon Mountain boxed set. I ran my players through this and to this day, they are fearful of kobold tactics... I started another group with old players in Return to the Keep on the Borderlands... The kobold cave came up (Bree-Yark) and my players immediately left the area. Ha ha. Dragon Mountain featured lots of kobolds using missile weapons and cover in an old Dwarven city/keep/complex. They worshiped a devious red dragon. To the point, 100 kobolds roll 5 20's.... 400 kobolds roll 20 20's.... The maze was designed to trap the PC's in the mountain, and then funnel them through gauntlet after gauntlet... I don't remember the traps, I just remember the arrows... Wait, one trap springs to mind. The funnel trap. PC fall's into a pit, which is a funnel, they go through a Dispel Magic (maybe) and then a reduction spell. They drop into the funnel and down into a tube. Then there is another Dispel Magic, which ends the reduction, trapping the PC in the tube. Squish. If the party reduces the PC somehow, the PC ends up falling into water at the end of the tube. I also remember falling rocks and lots of harrying the party when they rested. I used some kobolds as fanatic Kamikaze's as well, always interrupting rest times. This was done by rushing the at the party with lots of oil strapped to the body, or even with loud music at night. I played a track of of Floyd's Ummagumma... grooving with a pict.... something like that. [/QUOTE]
