[QUOTE="Carnifex, post: 1213067, member: 227"] Here's an idea from my Acrozatarim game. Admittedly my game has soem steam tech that is not standard for D&D games, but I figured that the inventive kobolds, good as they are with traps, are probably a dab hand with mechanical things and so giving them some crude steamworks wasn't outta line. The kobolds have made themselves a very crude drilling machine, basically a big boring drill that chews through rock at a good speed, powered by an oil-burning steam engine, mounted in a metal, wheeled framework that is piloted and manned by a handful of kobold sorcerer-engineers. When under attack, they use it to completely remap their own lair; drilling new tunnels aroudn the place to confuse attackers and to give their warriors new places to attack from and flee too. So the party wander down a long tunnel, having cleared some rooms and thinking they've thus made a safe zone behind them, only for the drill to make a new tunnel for a surprise attack for kobold rogues from behind. The machine itself can be used as an actual weapon in dire need, ramming the massive drill into an unfortunate player :D [/QUOTE]
