[QUOTE="Amatiel, post: 6897477, member: 6791461"] Currently just started Dark-lake chapter. Sloobludop Kuo-toa. Fish like behaviour. Always moving. No eye-lids, never blink. Shuushar is the younger son of the archpriest of the Sea Mother, the priest Ploopploopleen. Shuushar believes his mother will aid them, for saving his life. His farther is hugely diasapointed in his pacifist lifestyle. On arriving at the docks, they are halted by Kua-toa patrol, and auguries consulted. See Docks description. Something “shiny” (gems) may help the augury (bribe) – Diplomacy 10 or offended and automatically a bad omen. Taken prisoner to Deep father shrine for sacrifice. Ploopploopleen. See “baiting the hook”. Priest explains how there are 2 factions. Wants the group to act part in ritual, and then help overthrow “bad” faction. Will reward them Ritual Offering. One way or another escorted to the Alter of the Deep Father. There is already a duegar here, Hemmel, also about to be sacrificed. The kua-toa surrounding the alter, numbering in the hundreds, begin a strange sibilant chant, and start moving in a schooling pattern about the alter. Their passage takes them into the shallows of the lake where they splash fervently, raising their claws to the air in sprays of water. Their wailing sibilant voices sounds like someone with a mouth full of water trying to scream, and it’s hard to decide whether to laugh at this spectacle or to plug your ears and try to hide! After some ten minutes or so of this crazed activity, the fish-folk have worked them-selves into a religious frenzy. Their once steady circling of the alter has become a sprint, and those to slow to keep up are trampled under-foot. The claws of the whips that watch over you are trembling in their anticipation of rending your flesh upon the alter of the Deep father in the glory of his name! You notice that a number of fish-folk entering the waters of the lake are being dragged under by something hidden in the waters, and a reddish stain is spreading across the lake in the shallows. The fervour of the kua-toa has them oblivious to the happenings of those around them. Schooling with the inner circle, you see Ploopploopleen passing behind the High Priestess Bloppbllppodd with his cadre. Suddenly, he stops. Driving his spear deeply, it bursts from her chest in a spray of blood. Blood on her lips, she cries out, LEEMOOGGOOGON ! before collapsing into a pool of her own blood. Chaos erupts about the alter as kuo-toa fights kua-toa in a bloody and viscous battle. Let the PCs decide what they want to do. Fight, Flee, raid the market for gear? Demogorogon Rises! Read description and show picture. Madness saving throw Charisma DC 13 If fail, roll for madness on Demogorgon chart. Escape? Most likely steal keelboats and flee. [/QUOTE]
