One of the more prominent features of Chao Garden is the chao kindergarten so of course Kobold Garden needs one! A random kindergarten felt kind of off theme wise though so instead I think a seedy tavern would fit nicely. Through one of the the lobby's doors is a rickety bridge leading to a tavern cut out of a huge asteroid. It's built out of shipwrecks and barrels to look as though sea ships have crashed into it, giving it a pirate kind of vibe.
Here you can find all manner of patrons 😉 from some never heard of to great legends, all looking to wind down before their next adventure. You can leave your kobolds with these complete strangers so they can join them on those adventures and come back with higher skills or learn new things. Like if one were to go on some sort of bank heist, a kobold you leave with to help them may come back with a higher running stat, maybe even some loot if lucky.
At the farther end in the shadows you can find the black market where you'll find an assortment of unique items for sale. Near the middle is the local doctor and fortune-teller. The doctor can tell how your kobolds are feeling while the teller understands your kobolds names and can change them for you if you wish. The bartender acts sort of like the chao kindergarten's principle where they can give you random facts about what they know of kobolds and whatever they've heard about around town.
I may change the layout a bit as I build out the tavern but this is sort of the general idea for it. Hope your holidays are going well!
