Kobold Inventor

Kobold Inventor is a generic kobold enemy, a small reptilian humanoid who while physically weak, is quite crafty and cunning.

Involvement

Kobolds normally band together into large groups, using their varying skills and numbers to take down far tougher foes.

Act One

They can be found in and around the Rosymorn Monastery in Act One. They will have the  Firewine Belly and  Sleeping condition at first, having drunk so much firewine that they have since fallen 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 will find a chest and Bugthimble will pop out claiming it as his. If the party decides to fight, Bugthimble will call his kobold allies including Inventors and Scouts, who will pop out of Kobold Holes every turn.

Tactics

In Rosymorn Monastery, the Kobold Inventor is mainly dangerous for the chain reaction he can cause. He will focus on using his Alchemist's Fire first, having no care for his allies if they're grouped up on an enemy. With the kobolds suffering from  Firewine Belly, they are all bombs waiting to go off along with the fact that there are patches of Alcohol Surfaces and Firewine Barrels to spread to. Its best to avoid using anything that deals Fire Damage to prevent the whole room getting set ablaze.

Half of the kobolds in the Monastery are completely drunk, leaving a good amount of them  Sleeping, the Inventor included. The best approach is to sneak in and target the inventor first, to prevent an uncontrollable inferno from guzzling up the party.
