[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4680944, member: 54846"] An unrelated idea I have. I am trying to run KotS for an online group. I've made some changes to the adventure, for instance instead of guard drakes, the goblins/hobgoblins use giant bugs. After the PCs have cleaned out most of the first level (or possibly the whole keep), they'll come back to that first room with the pit. A vengence-seeking kobold commando squad will have taken up shop here, waiting for them. They've taken a barrel of grease or oil and smeared it across the floor from the front of the pit, to just inside one of the hallways the PCs are coming from. In the pit, they'd put another barrel or two of the grease or oil, and place two fire beetles the goblins keep in cages. The plan: they wait for the PCs to come back down the hall. The PCs see the kobolds, someone charges - hits the oil slick, goes into the pit, and the fire beetles do their thing, blowing up the barrels and inadvertently setting fire to the grease slick above. The flames and the smoke provide a nice buffer for the kobolds. [/QUOTE]
