Kobold level
The kobold level is a special level that appears in SLASH'EM, SlashTHEM and Hack'EM. It is where Kroo the Kobold King dwells among several other kobolds - in SlashTHEM, he is joined by clerical spellcaster Krooella the Kobold Queen.
Generation
In SLASH'EM, the kobold level appears in 1⁄2 of games, and is located on dungeon level 11 or 12.
Map
There are two variants of the kobold map: one is a normal random room-and-corridors map, and the other looks a bit like a town map.
Corridors
In the room-and-corridors 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.
