This will be fun.By the way, before we get to the kobolds - throw another mystery at them when they're all done with the kobold adventure. When the PCs detect evil and kill the evil, (a) the evil person has nothing to do with the mystery, and (b) he/she was the son/daughter of the local Lord or the most popular person in town. Since the group is so tough, just make most of the bad guys 1st lvl NPC classes, and let politics be the real villain!As for the kobolds:1. Too many templates are silly. Kill them with normal kobolds for extra embarrassment.2. The caves are pitch black. Take advantage of that; darkvision ends at 60', and bending passages do a wonderful job of restricting vision.  Remember that the rogue can't sneak attack in concealment, and darkness grants concealment! Alternatively, the kobolds might fight in smoke or mist with 5' worth of vision and 20% concealment, using their keen sense of smell to seek out targets.3. Separate the party. A wall will roll down separating the first or last person in the group. Then that person gets swarmed.4. Kobolds use poison; let's say they distill it out of the giant centipedes or carrion crawlers that they raise. When every arrow is poisoned, the group will quickly be taking strength damage and/or be paralyzed. Give them diseases for extra fun, by having every arrow dipped in excrement, too.5. As Aeloius said, kobolds live in small tunnels. Medium creatures will get -2 to hit, minimum, and the barbarian can't swing that greataxe. If the kobolds have a captive carrion crawler that they brew poison from, they may have a tunnel with some holes in the top - just big enough for carrion crawler tentacles to squirm down and touch the people crawling below it.6. Kobolds are reptilian, and may very well keep pet lightning lizards. These lizards may very well attack from behind in narrow passages.7. The kobolds would likely have a largish passage that they lure invaders up. Then the kobolds duck out tiny holes (a squeeze even for them), while other kobolds collapse the entry to that tunnel. With the heroes bottled up, sending poisonous smoke through those small holes might be very effective.</blockquote>
