[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 6734936, member: 552"] When we last left our band of escaped slaves, they had befriended a carrion crawler... somehow. The nearest city for us was Sloopididoop or something like that. Our pacifist friendly kuo-toa seemed to think we would be safe to enter the city... somehow. Either he lied or he was fooled. Only three players were at this session. Our Goliath Bard, the Dwarf Cleric, and our intrepid Kobold King-in-the-making. While crossing through a tunnel to Sloopidoop, the group was accosted from all sides by red-painted kuo-toa in mass. They had three types of soldiers... the leader was a "Whip", and two thugs were "monitors". I think I can recall roughly ten regular kuo toa in the mix as well. We had been abandoned by our vanguard of huge underdark monsters (they didn't want anything to do with smelly crazy fish people)... so that left us with NPCs that were mostly non-combat oriented. Our humble leader, Lightswitch, proceeded to enlarge both the Cleric and the Bard with a twin-spell. He then cowered behind rocks and generally tried to avoid any sort of attack. The orc and dwarf NPCs that were with us took on the eastern and western flanks respectively... which did not work out well for either of them. As lightswitch saw a brilliant opportunity to turn our Buppido monster onto an entire three kuo-toa that had just dropped Eldeth... he made the call to attack. Buppido questioned Lightswitch's brilliance and the order to bomb their ally, the dwarven female. "Did I stutter?" was heard throughout the cavern. The orc was also slain... he couldn't stand one-on-one with a single Kuo-toa. As our Carrion Crawler went down, the tides seemed to turn against us. The Bard and the Cleric took turns healing wording each other to pick each other back up. Lightswitch attempted to rain fiery wrath down on the enemy, but honestly wasn't that effective. Somehow, we survived this battle... with a few stragglers running away. The NPCs still left are Buppido, the Twins, the pacifist kuo-toa, and that drow Sarrith that never says or does anything. Oh, and Stooly. The most important one. We fell back for a short rest. Our rest ended when another group of kuo-toa... these ones with blue facepaint approached. Here's the story, best I can summarize it: We were smuggled into the city and constantly harassed by smelly fish people. We were oiled and slathered in slimy fish-goo and we got our fish-stank on. Next session... probably the sacrifice and some new characters. Also we are level 4 now. [/QUOTE]
