Message: <blockquote data-quote="Green Knight" data-source="post: 3988662" data-attributes="member: 2723">1) Why would the Dragon need to be in contact with anyone?  2) Who would notice this? Say the Dragon did feel a need to keep in contact with a local town guard for some inexplicable reason, and he sends a Dragonborn to talk to his sources.  A) Who would raise an eyebrow at some random Dragonborn chatting up a militiaman?  B) How in the world would anyone know that this same Dragonborn's wandering around in the middle of the wilderness 10 miles away?  You're making some pretty unrealistic assumptions, here.    So when Megatron sent the Decepticons to do a job, they were the BBEG, and not Megatron? When Cobra Commander sent Cobra agents on a job, they were the BBEG, and not Cobra Commander? As someone else said, the whole point of the minion IS to do most of the work, so that the BBEG doesn't have to do it. What's the point of having minions if you're doing all the work they could be doing?    Sewers. They can travel all throughout any city through the sewer system. And even if there is no sewer system to move through, they can still move about fairly freely at night. They're stealthier than most, and being only 2 feet tall, they can sneak around quite easily.    They live with the dragon. There's plenty of room in the mountains that Dragons lair in for Kobold servants to tunnel out homes for themselves. Or hell, the Dragon may have taken over a Dwarf Clanhold, and it's already got rooms and corridors tunneled into it. As for where they get their food and resources from, they get it in the same way that Dwarf Clanholds got them. In their case, it's much easier and less noticeable, as we're talking a couple dozen minions, and not thousands upon thousands of Dwarves.    You're making an illogical conclusion, here. There is nothing at all to support that dragons will be reduced to low-level villains, and given what we've seen of 4E Dragons so far, the exact opposite is true. Just look <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drdd/20070822a" target="_blank">HERE</a>. The dragon in that fight had over 1,000 hit points and AC 49. Hardly a minor threat.</blockquote>
