Kobold Inventor

Kobold Inventor is a generic kobold enemy, a small reptilian humanoid that is physically weak yet crafty and cunning. Kobolds normally band together in large groups, using their varying skills and numbers to take down far tougher foes.

Involvement

Act One

Kobold inventors can be found in and around the Rosymorn Monastery in Act One. They initially have the  Firewine Belly and  Sleeping conditions, having drunk so much firewine that they fell asleep or are wandering around drunk.

Act Three

Kobold inventors can also be found in the Graveyard in the Lower City in Act Three. Should the party dig up the dirt mound in the middle of the graveyard, they find a chest and Bugthimble pops out claiming it as his. If the party decide to fight, Bugthimble calls his kobold allies including Inventors and Scouts, who pop out of Kobold Holes every turn.

Tactics

The Monastery room is filled with Firewine Barrels and the floors spilled with  Alcohol. Additionally, the kobolds all suffer from  Firewine Belly, meaning they are literal bombs about to go off. The Kobold inventor is dangerous for its chain reaction in throwing Alchemist's Fire, causing the entire room to ignite with little regard for the other kobolds. It is best to avoid using Fire damage to also prevent fires.

Half the kobolds in the Monastery are drunk, with many of them  Sleeping including the Kobold Inventor. It is suggested to sneak in and target the inventor first to prevent an uncontrollable inferno from guzzling the party.
