Checking range on the enemy!
I did get some time to think about the RPG adventure I'm cooking up. One important element for any adventure is the addition of a cinematic scene. This will usually occur during a battle and act as a set piece for the whole adventure. It's a chance as the adventure writer to describe something memorable for the players.
In the case of the beast trainer adventure I'm cooking up I've got some little dragonling/kobold guys and the dogs they've been training. I've already decided on having the trainers holed up in a cave for the adventurers to explore. Setting this in the cave creates a scene with few routes of escape and a heightened urgency. Since dragons and fire are pretty much synonymous I thought to have the elite dragonlings spit fire. This led to consideration of the players being trapped in a conflagration and having to escape. Images of smoke filled rooms and crazed, burning animals filled my head and I figured I had the perfect setting for a climactic battle.
