Great piece, inspires a lot of ideas - I now want to run an adventure based on kobolds/brownies/household spirits spreading to every house in a village. The adventurers come upon a strangely immaculate and suddenly prosperous village. It's producing the best shoes and most delicious butter the region has ever known, but the villagers look harrowed and exhausted. Occasionally, screams echo in the night (Old Tam with his broken leg didn't fix his thatch the day after the storm, and in dead of night, the kobolds came for him...). No-one will speak of their plight as the kobolds have forbidden it - many villagers assume their house is the only one so afflicted.
