Meanwhile, on Kobold /tg/...

Way I figure it, it's easier to make yourself not worth the effort than trying to get past their magical armory-whatsits and stuffs.
So then you got two options, right? One is to make yourself really fucking prickly. You got traps, I got traps, the Cleric's a trap, but you want MORE traps. Like, everything is a trap. Even traps are traps.
Maybe trapped traps are traps, I don't know I'm not a trapmaker, just an enthuastic amateur. Magic shit too, magic traps. And if they want something you've got, get rid of it if you can or trap it. Basically, you want the adventurers to realise that shit shit ain't worth it.
Option two is to play nice to them. Make it so getting rid of you just wouldn't feel right, it ain't worth it for even a heap of gold. Not a big heap mind, they're fucking adventurers after all and we're kobolds. But a small heap made of mostly silver, maybe.
To do that, less sure. I think it's more a case-by-case basis. Offering a bit of help/loots in exchange for a task went well last time my tribe got into adventurer troubles.

That, or just bugger off and lay low for a couple weeks and come back to help rebuild afterwards.

>>51146640
Problem is, I don't think the boss will want to hold off on plundering that town until the adventurers leave, or wait for them to come to him. He really, really likes plundering that town.

>>51147037
Make more fucking traps then. Shout at them that the town is secretly evil or something.
I should not have to tell you to make traps. This isn't /gob/. Oh by the way dragons are neat. I wouldn't normally say that but I feel like you're behind on the basics.

You've got several options.

>>51146640 has a point. Ramping up your trap production is definitely an option.

Likewise, attempting to make yourself useful to them is another option. Doesn't usually work, though. The scale-less savages don't really understand 'alliances' or 'friendship' or 'community'.

Personally, I'm more of a 'poison the well' kobold. There are a variety of parasites and toxins that don't bother us at all. Transporting them into sensitive areas of the town can lead to the scaleless ones becoming very sick, adventurers included. Then you could either offer them cures in exchange for non-aggression treaties, or let them die.

I just hope they aren't infested with 'Gnomes', disgusting little dirt-fuckers.

>>51146542
Never had trouble with adventurers before. Ever since we made that sewer for copper town they've left us alone. Did have some trouble with orcs a while back. Maybe it's the same.

So first off, crossbows. Yeah, expensive as hell and hard to make but trust me a good crossbow is worth it's weight in gold. Any stupid-stupid can use one and you can use them in tunnels too. Y'heard me, indoor shooting. Good barracades also help. Something to rest the crossbow on when you're not cowering behind it. Put a pit trap in front of it and you've got somethin' serious.

Also, extra tunnels help. We had sneaky ways all over the mountain once. Turned an entire valley into one big trap with hidden crossbow nests from all directions. I know, I know, more ways for them to get in but if you keep the side tunnels under three feet it'll slow down most tall-folk.

I had one tunnel that was less than one foot tall. Cramptest half mile I know but there was a Strawberry patch on the other side. Strawberries! The females never look at you the same after you get them strawberry jam.

Finally, most other races don't do digging like we do. You want something, dig under it. Once, we dug this big cavern under a building and had the whole thing fall in. Never saw it coming.

Fuck it, might as well post here. You might have grubs for brains but this board occasionally throws up gold.
Part of a big ol' warren on the giantbone mountains, tunnels and families over a few mountains. Nice life, if a little cramped for me. Point is, one of our tunnelers went and tunneled right into a dwarven mine system. Yeah. Impressive tunnels though, if kind of inefficient. All those straight lines!

Freaked both of us tribes -is it tribes with dwarves or clans?- there was a little blood spilled before we pulled back to assess what was going on.
Actually got a little talking done on opposite sides of the breach at range. Kind of funny seeing our dragon acolyte shout at the hairy fatties back and forth Half of it was "What? I didn't catch that, can you repeat that? And louder?" until we moved a little closer.
Way I figured it, both of us knew about the other but didn't realise we ranged this far underground so we didn't think to do any detecting or cleverstuff like that.

How boned are we? We're a big warren and all, but no patron and up against dwarves. No dragon means no dragonfire.

After an incident involving a gas leak at a mine I own, I now have about two dozen unhatched kobold eggs with no parents in my possession.

>>51173363

The truth of the matter is they are more than likely lost. If their brood has been killed they won't be taken in by another and will more than likely be eaten.

Your best course of action is to kill them to spare them suffering. The most human way would be to slowly freeze them

>>51173398
Hey, hold up, I'm not going to kill twenty babies. I already killed like five dozen kobolds completely on accident, I'm going to have to donate half my profits for the next decade to the temple to make it right.

I'm just one guy but I'm quite wealthy. I can hire servants and stuff to help me raise them. Seriously, I can do this.

I wish I could one day play houses&people with a REAL human... I wonder what their voices sound like.

Your willingness and kindness are admirable, but you must understand that many kobolds are distrustful of humans (assuming you are human) and even then that may be the decision of whatever dragon they are serving.

>>51173608
I suppose honorable or proper should have been used. Then again I'm not of your mortal ilk and my obersvations are not absolute

>>51173653
I do get why you're distrustful. I literally just accidentally killed a bunch of you, and I'm the only one who seems to be upset about it. Most of the guys down in the mine hated that I let them live in those caverns anyway.

I only need basic advice. Things to look out for, what kind of food to give them, what sort of hygienic habits I should instill in them. I can handle most of the rest.

I really just don't want anybody else to die.

>>51171258
I would hug her and gently pat her head as she cries, saying that no-one's going to hurt her and everything will be alright. Then, once she's stopped wailing, I would hold her hand and comfort her until she stops trying to escape.

>>51173463
Money doesn't fix deaths, but I take your point.

Can't reccomend you care for them, suggest finding other warren but assuming that's not possible. Incubation is typical for eggs, keep warm. Don't assist with hatching unless something goes wrong, it takes a bit.
Not going to bother to try and tell you how to raise kobold as kobold. Wouldn't fit in post anyway. Start small, in all things. Food and teachings. We learn and grow fast, but start small. No jokes about how we stay small. Heard them before.
They are kobold, not human, not dwarf, not halfing and definately not bloody gnome, remember that too. Smallest of dragons, servants to living gods. Pride as such and cunning are what we are, not heroism and resistance. Blood will out, don't fight it.

And don't let them think of you as a dragon, lost and ignorant they will be in your care. That's just insulting to them and dragons as a whole.
Mostly though.. we survive well enough without help. Hard to break us, won't be hard to keep them alive.

>>51173805
Money really doesn't, you're right. I know that well enough from back in my younger days.

What do they eat, exactly? That's my main concern right now. I already have them by a fire, which I believe should help out with the warmth, but I need to know what to give them when they hatch. Fish?

As for the dragon thing, I don't want to be seen as an all-powerful, godlike overlord. More of a kindly headmaster is what I'm going for.

It wasn't horrible, per say, just sort of ironic for this particular situation. Especially since the other guy I talked to called dragons "living gods," which, well, they're not. They're quite large and quite scary but enough damage and they die just the same as everything else.

I just wish the coward hadn't hid behind an army of relative innocents.

>>51173528
We're not that interesting, really, but if you show up at a local gaming house and try to play there's a decent chance they'll let you in, if you're in a kobold-friendly part of the kingdom.

>>51174147

>>51174649
Yes. I was once kidnapped to be a human group's thief or something for a couple weeks - just had to find traps, really. Apparently the female one decided to try to make sure I didn't slip out during the night by holding me to her body as we slept. She was soft and warm, but kind of misguided - I stayed because the humans were taking watch in shifts and I didn't think I could sneak away; she had really poor form to pin my arms to my sides.
I didn't get to touch the males much, so I don't know if it's a gender thing, maybe only the females are warm and the males are frigid or something.

>>51174649
Yes, we are warm-blooded.

Human mortals tend to have similar levels of body temperature that they maintain for both genders. The only variance I've observered are those who are deeply into magic or have subjugated themselves to an immortal like myself as their physical properties tend to manifest in them.

>>51174657
Mostly because a dragon will kill you for breaking an egg.

>>51174330
If I understand it right, kobold mature faster compared to human races. Fasater numbers, more deaths. Depends a little on tribe and dragon ancestry too.
Two years for some speech (not great), six for physical maturity, mental takes longer.
Forgot to say, forgot it's only scaled thing. Shedding, stone or like to help clear skin. Heated bath can help too, bitterleaf chew good for scales if you have it and it is known by that name. Try hiring other scaled race if you can. Similarities, easier to deal with.
Is this not in some guide to races somewhere? Bestiary even? It's not a secret.

Not serving dragons is actually really awesome. You get a lot more free time to yourself, and you don't feel nearly as much self-loathing.

Sure, guns are fine, if you've got a lot of them and a lot of very refined mechanical and metallurgical engineering to throw at their production. But if you don't, there are other, quicker, more powerful methods of employing the same alchemical concoctions to defend your communities.

GAS THE DRAGONS! KOBOLD UPRISING NOW!

Speaking of dragons... anyone know of a good way to get it out there that we're a tribe without a dragon? I can't exactly put it on a town messageboard, "Kobold Tribe seeks Dragon for serving and mutual security".

Actually would that work? It's been so long since I even saw a real dragon I might well try it.

Ideally, word will spread that there's a tribe of kobolds in what looks like a dragon's lair, but no dragon to worry about. A dragon - probably young if they don't have cave and kobolds of their own - will hopefully fly in for uncontested treasure, cave, and kobolds.

Actually traps is bad example. Most races can't. Kobold -good- at traps.
Also >>51189822 is correct as well. Dragon is best. Kobolds is dragon. Therefore kobold is best. Littlest dragon, but still dragon.
Dragon more dragon than kobold, so even more best.

Unfortunately, "Master race" does not mean "invincible race." Proof of our relation to dragons is, unfortunately, our inheritance of their pride.
In a Dragon, that pride is good and proper; they are the biggest, strongest, and best beings in the world, and it is only natural that they would take pride in that fact. In us, however, it is a vice; for if there is no strength to back that pride up, then it is mere arrogance. While dragons are born with both strength and pride, we are born with pride but must work to build that strength through diligence and hard work.
In short, our ancestors- and even our modern brethren- forget that our relation to dragons is a responsibility to uphold, rather than an entitlement of birth. That we are meant to uphold the magnificence of our progenitors does not make our actions automatically correct.

Umm guys, I'm a bit concerned.
Our master trapmaker bit I to the special mushroom store again, you know the one that only the local Dragon-Priest is allowed to get into? Anyway, after snacking on a few he suddenly got into this weird trance like state and drew up schematics for this.

He said it will help us gift the larger races more easily, but it sure don't look like a trap to me. Plus he recently started asking the sorcerers to make a bunch of Rings of Featherfall.

Should I be worrried? What should I do? Can any of you trapsmiths or tunnel engineers even tell me what this thing is supposed to even be or do?

No, really, blame the gods. Obsessed with putting tits on anything that doesn't have a dick. Snakes? Nagas and/or medusas.Trees? Dryads. Mountains? Stone giants. And the fertility gods! They don't even follow the "doesn't have a dick" limitation.

Whole tribe of kobolds over west of the Skrngrrbr mountains, they were drafted into an army to fight some lich who was trying to become a god, in the end they hardly needed to because a bunch of older gods dropped by in the middle of the whole ritual-slash-battle thing to break his kneecaps or something, keep their monopoly going. But did they stop there? No.

Tits.

Any kobolds with breasts you see around, probably descended from those poor saps.

Something similar with feathers I think. Though that was more an elder dragon who wanted more colour in their lair, so grew feathers and then caused the same growth magically in their kobold followers. Recessive, but you do get feathery crests now and then popping up in otherwise scaly warrens.
Still, the addition of breasts actually lets us access towns more easily. Sometimes you even get kobold streets in slum areas! So, sort of useful.

No, no. It can happen. Adventurers stupid. Long bridge over lava? Trap flips bridge upside down. Adventurers covered in heavy armor? trap releases very small flesh-eating beetles that get under armor.

My favorite was when Tribe was working for Great Green of Western Woodlands. Elf-men not like Great Green. Want Great Green gone so they could be stupid-stupid in Great Green's forests. But Tribe clever-clever. Build special lair for Great Green. Very fancy. Carve stones to look like trees and carve trees to look like stone, put both together until stonetrees and treestones merge into solid walls. Tribe master artists. Top-top where Great Green flies in and out surrounded by much nastiness. Poison oaks, sumacs, needles, nettles, all sorts of nasty-nasty plants that strip skin off of men-things, but not bother scales. Only way for Elf-men to get in was special stonework passage. Dip down deep beneath very poison brush-field. Elf-men think they clever, hire adventurers to hurt Great Green. Built trap. Clever-clever. Tap pockets of bad-air deep-down. Bad air not *bad*, not poison, just not have life-breathe in it. Constant danger to miners. When men-things entered tunnel, trap sprung. Drop heavy stone doors from ceiling, locking them in, and tunnel-pipe opened. Men thing laughed, thinking they safe. Think they just wait. They try open, but doors only open with heavyheavy pulleys and gears on tribe side. So they wait, thinking we come to take them prisoner. And they wait. Eventually they realize air getting bad. They pound on doors, try to open, but doors heavy. Tribe waits until hourglass runs out twice, then opens doors. Men-things dead. No breathe-air, no life. Tribe resets doors and takes men-things to Great Green. Great Green very happy that men-things dead without damaging meat! Great Green say we clever-clever! Even give headpats to trapmaster and minemaster who design trap! Much feasting tribe did that day! Same trap work many times!

>>51223013

Or put the magic in the traps! I overheard an old human following adventurers past my master's cave saying over and over "magic must defeat magic". A really strong-looking human (maybe a monk?) seemed to listen to him, so the old one must have been powerful.

>>51226464
The pun was accidental at first, but I sure as hell wasn't going to edit it out.
I try, but difficult to get the magic to go.. in the traps? Think I need more books.
Can make magic traps though! Scatter both around, hard to counter both. Illusions mostly. Fun to see halfling think he in explosion, jump away and fall into real spiky trap.
Best for magic enemies.. kind of easy to see trap and super hard to see trap. They see easy trap, think that is it and stop using magic to find other traps. Then hidden trap strikes!
Also poison. Some can magic away poison, but if not they often die quickly.
