I think this is a pretty valid suggestion, especially if it's just the NPCs making small talk that might SEEM insignificant, but really they're pointing to a larger picture that could help point the way to quests (or even more information about quests).

And, it gives some of them something a little more interesting to say. =)

Or chase it with a Bowie knife.

A lot of people, myself included, made a decision based on IC factors.

Killing random ogres on the beach isn't as exciting from an IC perspective as looting a forgotten Netherese observatory, which possesses characteristics of mystery, intrigue, and (most importantly) adventure in the traditional sense, which is what appeals most to Chance. He might love a good fight, but delving into the unknown where ancient civilization and potentially ancient artifacts are involved is much more tempting than a sending that says, "HEY COME KILL OGRES."

As much as it might be tempting to take part in a DM event for me as a player, I respect the decisions of players to do what's best for them IC.

If you build it (well), they will come.

Dragons are (generally) incredibly intelligent, powerful magical creatures.

Kobolds, on the other hand, aren't. They are sentient, though, so that throws a kink in the mix.

I agree with Xorisai's suggestion, if it's script-able.

Man, turning kobolds would be cool. I mean, imagine them, running (or bowing) in fear of a god of lizardkind of some sort.

You'd have a little kobold army. That would be cool to see.

Can you turn kobolds?

Ooh, fancy! I'm a fan.

It's the little things. =)
