[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 1213357, member: 14041"] Lots of the tactics already mentioned will of course make the encounter tough, but there is one really simple way to amp up a kobold lair, and it is used as a plot device in Sunless Citadel: Dragons. Even just one realtively young dragon on the kobolds side will make for a nice final big encounter. Force them to keep going deeper into the lair by blocking the obvious exit route. Annoy the players with the traps and hit and run tactics mentioned earlier in posts by people who know far more about running such things than I do, but PCs want a Big Bad at the end. A kobold sorcerer a few levels higher than the party average and nice nasty dragon, preferably of one of the nonstandard varities so PCs will have a harder time identifying its weaknesses, should suitably challange the PCs, even if you don't run tactics that well. Or, have them go in a slaughter the kobolds. That's what they are expecting to happen. Then have the Dragon they have been worshiping come around for the monthly offering. He will likely wonder where all his worshipers have gone, and he might not be happy about it. [/QUOTE]
