[QUOTE="Camelot, post: 4802491, member: 82617"] [b]Kobold Caverns[/b] The tunnel goes down a few feet, then levels off into the darkness. It becomes clear by the light of MAIA's sunrod and Mei Ying's light that the tunnel was naturally very short, but was excavated farther by intelligent beings. The tunnel suddenly opens up into a small cavern. In opposite corners of the cavern are two platforms, like blocks stuck in the corner of the room. They are poorly made, so climbing them looks like not too difficult a task, but there are ladders reaching the tops. What really attracts your attention are the green, scaly creatures standing knee-high (except for Boldo, for whom it is more like neck high) in front of you. They are clearly the kobolds. On the ground floor are seven of them, wielding javelins. On the nearest platform are two more, and on the farther platform, one, who are holding slings that they clearly plan to use on you. Here is what you know about the kobolds:[sblock=Kobolds]Kobolds often dwell near a dragon's lair, maintaining a safe distance but bringing sacrificial offerings to their "god." Most dragons ignore kobolds, as a crocodile ignores the birds that pick its teeth clean. Once in a great while, however, a young dragon takes an interest in its kobold cult, which then becomes a real menace to the dragon's enemies. Kobolds are skilled at making traps, which they use to capture prey and to acquire sacrifices for their dragon lords. Kobold minions carry javelins and wear hide armor for protection. Kobold slingers are more dangerous, as they can attack from afar, and with deadly accuracy. They wield slings and wear leather armor. Kobold slingers typically carry special sling bullets called pots that carry additional effects, such as fire or a rank stench, to hinder their enemies.
