I'm kind of a dick as a GM.

My players come across a cave in the middle of kobold stronghold. It has two ornately carved tables depicting dragons in triumph.

3 chests with dragon skull motifs.

And a detect magic going on that determined something around the chest is magic.

They know it's a trap.



They rogue runs forward, barely misses getting squashed by the falling block the kobolds installed.

They examine and examine. Nothings too amiss a table is kinda slimy.

Pops the middle chest. A spell tries to paralyze the closest party members as the tables and other two chests start to attack.

What? Do you seriously believe the urban legend that UF created love bugs?

I wonder what other bacteria or viruses have been already released onto mankind? Obviously if it can be done on the infinitely complex mosquito, then sure he can be done on the simpleminded humans.
