[QUOTE="DMH, post: 1995492, member: 24945"] Because the people who were killing them are gone. Why would adventurers kill them when survival is much more at stake? Human and kobold survivors are not going to automatically live near each other. Okay lets look at it a different way. Kobolds are grass and elves are oaks. When fire burns down the forest, which is going to colonize first? Which is going to dominate the landscape? If a few of the oaks survive, there is a chance they can revive their community (unless a 3rd party, like squirrels, eats all the acorns). And grass is known to weaken tree roots. If I could cut and paste a few lines from the article, I would. 90% of the humans and allies are dead. That means there is a lot of open land for anyone who can control it. If the kobolds take a chunk far away from the surviving human (and ally) communities, who is going to travel to the kobold to kill them? Wouldn't they be more worried about keeping themselves and their kin alive than going out to kill a threat they don't even know exists? Yes. The other lizard peoples are larger and take more time to get to adult size. Post 79. I already mentioned monsters and how they would alter the dynamics of the situation. I thought we were talking about surface land competition. Of course they would be affected and their lifestyle (using Sea Devils as the basis) would make regaining their numbers that much harder since they have a high mutation rate and kill the mutant infants.
