Subject:  Re: Vodoni Aftermath - Kobolds
Greetings again!
As to Tucker's Kobolds Eugene wrote: "Tucker's Kobolds were mentioned in the
editorial of Dragon #127. ["How does he know that of the top of his head," you
ask?  It was the very first issue of Dragon I bought, though I'd been playing
for years by then.] In it, a high-level party get massacered by a bunch of
cunning kobolds.  Great stuff, if you ask me... (:  Hope that helps some... "
What, that's it? Come on Eugene, you can't do that! Whetting our appetites like
that, referring us to Dragon 127! I think I'm seconded here by Ziggy who seemed
also to be intrigued by the mention of  "the fameous Kobold Paratrooper merc
unit described in Dragon back in the old days?" when he wrote:
"Anyone wanna fill this clueless DM in?  I've only been playing for about 8
years..."
I second the motion for disclosure of neat strategies to humiliate players with
low-level monsters! How can you guys dare keep such a secret for you ... ;-)
While we are at it, has anybody more suggestions in this vein?
I recall there was a Dungeon (#17 or thereabouts, I think) in which a red dragon
enlisted hundreds of kobolds to defend his keep. The players exhausted their
spells by combatting wagonloads of kobolds (armed with globes from a necklace of
fireballs) and had nearly no resources left when they finally encountered the
dragon <eg>. Similar tactics were used in the Dragon Mountain boxed set, if I
recall correctly. Also, there was a temple to Anthraxus in Dungeon # 10 (I
think) where they had lots of lepers do mass-combat attacks, just simple
overbearing and grappling attacks :-)
Kent
