New Year bump!
Any kobold-lovers out there with fiendishly clever kobold tactics or tricks to share?

Two parallel lines are strung at ground level between two trees. Stepping between them causes them to twist together, trapping the limb in question. The lines continue to twist, which shortens their overall length and causes the lines that had been carefully laid along the trunks of the trees to pull away until the victim is lifted into the air, strung between the upper branches of two trees by the now tightly coiled lines. Meanwhile, the action of setting off the trap has also caused stakes to pop out from the sides of the trees, inhibiting attempts to climb them, and endangering the victim should the trap be disabled in such a way that the victim would swing against one of the trees.
[N]o difference is less easily overcome than the difference of opinion about semi-abstract questions. - L. Tolstoy

Good one!
I'm contemplating planted "Adventurer's journals" fabricated by the kobolds, describing some awesome treasure or sneaky way to ambush kobolds, but then the imaginary adventurer died before reaching it. Of course, the location described would be trapped to high heaven. On the other hand, there are real "Adventurer's journals" with useful information, so telling the two apart would need to be possible.
