Kobold Assassin
Contents |
Encyclopedia
"There are many scurrilous lies spread about the noble kobold race. The most ridiculous is surely that of the so-called Kobold Assassin. Every so often, I hear reports of one of these kobold subtypes. The report usually describes them as black clad members of a secret kobold organization that will stop at nothing to defend kobold kind and keep themselves secret.
"Every time I try and track down the originators of these reports, the primary witness is always conveniently away on some long term business trip, or has gotten himself killed in some tragic accident. The lack of any first hand accounts proves that the Kobold Assassin is nothing more than hearsay spread to discredit kobold kind."
From an early journal of Wpark the Wonderful.

Tips and Strategies
A nasty customer -- besides heavy use of poison, they can bring all the monsters on the level down on your head. Indeed, they're the only creature short of Baezl'bub who will cast it on you without prior warning, even through a wall -- so being suddenly "revealed to all" is a pretty good hint that one of these guys is around... perhaps inside that big lair you're circumnavigating!
