Kobolds trapping players then using them as sacrifices for a dragon
Is this your application for the guild?
Yes
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but maybe be a little more imaginative? Everyone else put lots of effort into there's, and it might be kinda unfair...

I want you to know. You are going to lose. You are going to lose badly. You’re going to lose badly and it’s going to be awesome.
Fair enough. Maybe they don't die, they just vomit spiders for days.
...Again, cool, but when would we need to do that to kids?
To mess with the players, of course! Or even better, the hag spreads the rumors of poisoned candy in the first place, so parents do that dumb thing where they get first pick of the candy.
Then, with the perfectly-wrapped, big, fluffy cakes in their grasp, they, of course, take it. Then they puke spiders everywhere for the rest of the night.
This was all for the hag to get rid of that gosh-darn fly infestation she was trying to deal with all summer. Now, with extra spiders everywhere, she doesn't need to worry about it!

Ahhh, okay. I was looking at it the wrong way. I was thinking this was an invention for the guild, not something to use in your campaigns.

Ok,
The players have been given a quest by a mysterious quest giver (who is secretly three kobolds in a trenchcoat). They must explore the nearby kobold tribe’s cave to recover stolen treasure. The players would underestimate the kobolds due to being known for their lack of strength. When they enter the cave they discover that the kobolds have created a labyrinth, which is filled with traps and dead ends. If they don’t die, they discover that the treasure didn’t exist, and that it was a trap made by the kobolds to get sacrifices for the dragon that they worship.

Another idea for something to use in a campaign with an optional sanity score:
A black dragon, over the course of her long life, has had six husbands, all of which were bards. She had one child with each of them. Now her children all wish to be wed, and each one has different criteria for a suitor. They are all very charismatic, charming, and insightful, so brute force charisma will not work on most of them (but don't tell the players this). They are all pansexual, because all dragons evidently are.
The party is either kidnapped or come by their own will to the dragoness' lair. They each choose one young dragon. They are not seen until the date. The dates are presented in this order chronologically:
Irzamael, the scholar - Neutral Daughter of a Lore bard, Izramael is erudite and playful, often making nerdy jokes that take an intelligence check to understand. She is interested in a suitor that has interesting things to talk about and gets her overly referential humor. She is very go-with-the-flow and casual, and her dating room is a somewhat messy library, where books are alphabetized by their first letter, but it seems that she didn't care to organize them beyond that.
Falavaeth, the gardener - Chaotic Good Son of a Glamour bard, Falavaeth is obsessed with plants and animals, and created entire ecosystems and airlifted them to places where they were needed, such as a mini-forest into a deforested area, or an oasis near a busy road in the middle of a desert. He doesn't joke much, but will talk on and on about plants and animals, accepting of everything that comes his way, good or bad. After all, mother nature can be cruel, and if you can't embrace that, you don't fully appreciate her. He is interested in people who appreciate things as they are without trying to improve on nature's designs. His dating room is a garden filled with flowers and insects.
Sorzendavaur, the fencer - Lawful Evil Daughter of a Swords bard, Sorzendavaur loved her father and is obsessed with the fine art of violence. The closest in personality to her mother, Sorz is quick as a whip and sharp as a rapier, and is known for being quick to smart off when given the chance, even if she doesn't mean to. She adores combat arts, despite never being in a real fight, and can appreciate a clever insult better than just about anyone. She believes that if you get hit even once in a fight, you have lost, and she is only interested in winners. Her dating room looks more like a training room with many actual weapons on display.
Chastirvos, the Olympian - Chaotic Neutral Daughter of a Bardbarian, Chastirvos is very enthusiastic about sports. While this may make her seem a bit dim-witted at times given her hyper-fixation on sports and nothing else, if you understand her metaphors and references, you realize that she is just as much of an intellectual as the rest of her sisters. She wants a suitor who can beat her at her own game. She is very excitable but is very careful with her own strength after an incident where she accidentally killed another dragon by hugging them. Her dating room is a track field and gym, complete with pole vaulting and log-throwing courses.
Belligerator, the thrasher - Chaotic Good Son of a Whispers bard, ironically, Soalef is known for his incredible size, sound, and musical tastes. He loves dwarven metalworking music, which was styled to be loud enough to hear over the sounds of mining and smithing without losing quality, and he is known for dancing so intensely it causes earth tremors. However, he is fully aware of how dangerous he is to be around, with his spiked clothing and horns and thrashing and metal everything, so he's not necessarily looking for a musical suitor: he's looking for a tough one. Anyone who can survive him on the dance floor and even attempt to appreciate his music would fit his criteria perfectly. His dating room is filled with music posters, instruments, and spiky things that don't seem to serve a purpose.
Thraugrerullyllon, the artist - Chaotic Neutral (this is the twist, guys) ??? of a ??? bard, Thraugrerullyllon's father was from the far realm. Thraug is an amazing artist, but their paintings are known to drive any and all who look at them temporarily mad. They just want to be loved for who they are, even though their very existence is harmful to most mortals. Thraug is soft-spoken and shy, and wears a dark cloak over their body to prevent anyone from seeing their tentacled face. They will marry anyone able to make it through the date with their mind intact. Their dating room is geometrically impossible, but otherwise perfectly resembles what you would expect from a place called a dating room. Anyone who faisl enough perception checks will probably be fine with Thraug and their room.

A hag that feeds off of frustration. It’s lair makes no sense and it has no harmful spells, just stuff like web, slow, and that stuff.

do you think i should add any spells to the spell list?
I really like the spells you have, but if you can think of anymore, I'm sure a few extra wouldn't hurt
