[Dungeons and Dragons] I'm a newly hatched red dragon. What can I do to maximize my chances of survival?

1. Get yourself a bunch of kobold followers. They're going to bring you food, and keep a low profile. They are sworn to silence about your existence, and entirely banned from raiding or killing humanoids.

2. Find a nice lair. Make sure it has a maze, and means for your follows to live. You're going to be spending an incredible amount of time in here, so make sure it's nice too, but that's secondary to security concerns.

3. Make sure your kobolds are trained to be smart - they've gotta be Tucker's Kobolds. Traps, guerilla tactics, and so on that make reaching you a pain. 

4. Pay no attention to the Dragon behind the curtain - somehow find a way to fake yourself. Illusion magic, a magic-trained kobold, whatever. Basically make sure that any adventurers that reach you end up killing someone/thing else - not you.

5. Keep a damn low profile.  When you need to leave your lair and stretch your wings - only do it at night, high up, and don't go attacking any people or wildlife, or landing and leaving footprints and other marks.

6. Train. Your physical body is going to be great no matter what, and it's magic that makes the difference. **Practice. Magic.**

7. Live. Hopefully you'll make it to adulthood and be big enough that you can start venturing outside, relatively safe. Don't bother waiting until you're an elder dragon, or you'll have no life at all. Just remember the principle lessons:

> * Deception

> * Co-existence

> * Preparation

Do all these things, and you'll live a long and scaly life.
