2. The players come across a group of 3d6 kobolds sitting in a circle. They are playing dice and betting on who wins and who loses. If players join in, they must put something up as collateral if they lose, otherwise they will be attacked by the kobolds unless they leave at once.
   
   
3. A group of kobolds are sitting around a campfire at the base of the mountain. They are cooking some food. They are drinking some ale. They are singing some songs. The players can choose to attack them or not. If they do, then the kobolds will fight back with their claws and their teeth and their spears and their swords and whatever else they have on hand. They're kobolds. They fight to the death if they have to.
