Map

Four of its rooms contain two random k each, and one contains four random ​k. Kroo's room contains three large kobolds, two kobold lords, three swamp kobolds, and Kroo himself. Kroo's space contains two random weapons, a random wand, two random pieces of armor, and two random potions, and the room contains four chests, placed at random.

Town

Below is a map of the "town" variant of the Kobold level. The other variant is a randomly generated rooms-and-corridors level.
