Some folks like sneak thievery so traps and some guardians (or competitors) can work very well, for folks that would think up and likely enjoy such schemes.   Doesn't mean it's going to be a bright idea or successful if they are too low a level but it may/should be possible to foil or diusrupt more powerful NPCs in the campaign in ways different from head to head conflict.As for where the dragon was heading that be a laudible goal as well and one that would certainly earn PCs exps in my campaign  were they able to follow the creature and warn folsk more capable of dealing with it.  I also have battle encounters where when the PCs are low level and are aiding the heavy hitters or acting as skirmishers on the edges of the fight.  "low level" types become famous in myth and legend by being there helping the heavy hitters (who turn out to be minor players after the real heroes tale(s) are told.   "Yup that was MY arrow that disctracted Lord Dark while he was trying to zap Maximus with some horrible spell and allowed Maximus to close and slay him !!" - that is the sort of stuff that becomes "character background" and means a lot more then beign the 11th bastard son to the true hier to the crown who dabbled in the dark arts yet fights for good that is 6th level with no actual history in the campaign behind the character.low level PCs get to play small parts in big events and surive to become those that can tackle and motivate major events.  Becoming a big shot is a lot more fun then ...wham, you are a big shot.</blockquote>
