[QUOTE="Andion Isurand, post: 1213573, member: 10062"] For the kobold lairs, design crawlspaces just big enough for Kobolds to move through without penalty, but small enough to give any 'medium-sized' or larger creatures a hard time. Camoflage and conceal the openings to these crawlspaces. While some of these crawlspaces would allow Kobolds to outmanuver the PCs, end in dead ends, and arrive in deeper caverns with tougher monsters... Have some of these crawlspaces eventually open back up in dozens of places that are very high up on the walls in some taller, larger caverns the PCs will have to move through. From these protected locations, place kobold snipers using crossbows with poisoned bolts, alchemical items and bags of caltrops. Use large, 'poisoned' barbwire nets. :D Suspend these over large caverns where they can dropped on many PCs. Including the rooms with the snipers. Use gates, bars and things that can be shut to keep the PCs pinned down under enemy crossbow fire. Use narrow kobold-sized defense bridges that force larger creatures to make balance checks. Use grease spells here. [/QUOTE]
