They saw the kobold standing there with the rope and unloaded on him before he got to go. They had no idea what the thing  did but they (correctly) decided that if the kobolds wanted to use it, they did NOT want the kobolds to use it. They killed one drake without it ever hitting any of them, the other one hit the ranger HARD, then they concentrated fire and killed it. It was however a definate shock and forced the first use of healing surges in the game.The pressure-plate trap in the previous room proved more problematic for them until they started jumping from sacrophagus to sarcophagus to avoid touching the floor. As for the encounter with the leader, I would recommend having him and his bodyguards start closer to the entrance. They are simply too far away. The slingers had engaged the PCs down the long hallway for almost 3 rounds before the wyrmpriest could even enter the fight, and by then it was almost too late. The boulder was never a factor as the PCs didn't enter the room until the fight was nearly in hand. That trap is badly placed. It should've been set up to roll the boulder down the hallway to the previous room. THAT would have been a surprise. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The final solo encouunter (which I will try not to spoil) probably should've been tougher but I couldn't hit worth a damn. Its AoE kept missing almost everyone. The PCs also flanked it quickly to keep it from moving. It still caused a good bit of damage though (action points work wonders). All and all we were all pleased with the way 4e ran. In the future (for Keep on the Shadowfell) I will be making changes to the kobolds using the new kobold stuff on the website.. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Tzarevitch</blockquote>
