It fits the concept in my world of kobolds of different colors coming from different draconic blood--The PCs have already run into red and white ones, and a half-silver-dragon kobold, as well. I may have to use that.I'd like to give them a break from kobolds for now, though. Maybe renegade elves would be nice. It'd explain why the elves didn't get a hint of the dragon building an army already, because the renegades were looking for something new to do and consequently have been working for the dragon from the inside. I like that. As soon as they hear the PCs have been sent out to bug the dragon's lair, the elves would head out to stop them--or at least, send spirits and magics to do so. Enter the mischievious nixies and assassin vines. Nice. Also, there's going to be some damn spiders in the lair. Because I said so. This green dragon is young, yeah, and she's new to the area. And yeah, she'd slaughter a level 3 group, but they're not there to kill her. In fact, I don't plan on having her be there at all for the adventure; She's off to the north negotiating with the Young Adult White who winters in the mountains to the north and making friends with the Lawful Evil city nearby. She's met the elves and they've found a certain peace. The elves serving the dragon might indeed be a faction who believe the dragon is entitled to live in peace as part of the natural order. Only demons and angels in my world are always Evil or Good, after all. You can't point to a Monster Manual entry and try and convict a dragon based on that. The elves consist of a lvl 10 cleric, a lvl 8 sorceress, and a level 7 druid, and the rest are largely level 2 ranger-types and commoners. This is a refugee area for elves who are rejected from the aforementioned Lawful Evil city, where the governor-general is frightened of and hates elves. There are maybe 200 elves there in the forest, with the number fluctuating wildly over time. The Juvenile green dragon knows she couldn't kill the elves on her own, but she (and they) knows that she'd take a lot of them out with her, if only through her breath weapon. For now, both sides are content to lay down a non-aggression pact and live and let live. Meanwhile, a faction within the elves wants to see the dragon allowed to live in complete peace, happy to have a dragon (a truely magnificent beast) living in proximity. Like a town with endangered wolves living nearby, the wolves might steal cattle or whatever, but the people grudgingly want to protect them. At some point, it may come to direct confrontation with the dragon. For now, though, the party's job is to get in, place "bugs", and get out before the dragon gets back. If they uncover an elvish conspiracy while they're doing it, een better. I like.</blockquote>
