I thought your idea that Runara was afraid her presence could push some kind of mystical imbalance into catastrophe was a good idea. Great way to keep her hesitant to take action.
Bronze dragons are typically the most warlike of metallic dragons. This could make for some dissonance with her kobolds, who I like to make mirror some aspects of the dragons around them. They could take on her old nature, making them a source of frustration and a reminder of who she once was.
It's also a good source of discussion when her true nature is known. A hero who understands dragons might clue into this change. Pacifists are MOST rare among Bronze Dragons.

I wish I could take credit for the idea but this one is straight from the module!

Hey, nice one. I must say this is literally my favourite video I've seen....(For helping with new dms) ((I'm trying to run a game for my 9 year old and her friends)).
I appreciate this a lot !

[@JNJTabletop]

Thank you so much! It’s so rewarding and good to hear when we help! I’m sure you’ll have a blast with your daughter too 😊

Man. I haven't watched a JnJ video since last year.

[@JNJTabletop]

Oh you

The 3-man party is so much fun. What Jake said about being short-handed creating tension is true, but it also moves faster. Combat keeps a good pace, and the DM has more time to devote to each character's development. I stick to 4 as a maximum, with the occasional 5th man guest star, because I have a lot of gamer friends I like to be around. But man ... that 3-man group is just so good.
If any of ya'll want to see a 3-man party in action and how good it can be, check out this man's run of Dragon of Icespire Peak.

The pacing at 3 is so good 🤌🏻
