[QUOTE="tzor, post: 1217599, member: 12826"] All of Gaul is divided into three parts … or in this case three adventurers. In a well-designed kobold lair, the party is toast. Kobolds have two significant advantages, they are short and they are light. “A kobold is 2 to 2-1/2 feet tall and weighs 35 to 45 pounds.” Imagine a passage 4’ tall and 5’ wide. Imagine similar passages above and below the passage. Wire traps are placed around 3-1/2 and 4 feet high. The wooden floors are mostly rotten and at various places can support no more than 75 pounds of weight. The kobold only has to taunt and the barbarian is going to run down the hallway. Smashing through the wire trap, which causes a solid wall to fall down behind him (I did mention divide right?), he then falls through the floor to the passage below, into the lower passage with quicksand and angry kobolds. Meanwhile the rogue sneaks past the kobold’s pets, the dire weasels. Dire weasels have sent. The rogue can easily become trapped and bleed to death by those weasels, especially when there are kobolds that can ensure that the rogue cannot remove the attached dire weasel without getting massively attacked by the kobolds. Of course there are a dozen other traps for the cleric. Having walls slide down should be common for any race proficient in trap making and mining. Some can be triggered by kobolds that hear things coming. Once the walls are down, the floor can open up, or the ceiling can open up and all sorts of things can fall on them. In summary: Split the party up so the cleric cannot heal the others. Make the barbarian rush into a trap and turn the tables on the rogue. If you max out the Kobold Band, the encounter is listed as a “very hard” encounter against the 100 kobolds, 4 weasels, one 6 3rd level and one 6th level kobolds before considerations of terrain and traps are taken into account. Enjoy. Someone has to. [/QUOTE]
