The Gripplis all scurry into the huts for safety.At this point, two Blue Slaad have emerged from the other side of the village, and close in on Ivo.  And at this same time, a Chaos Hammer effect activates in the center of town, mildly affecting several in the area.  Rath shouts down, "I can see a Green Slaad over behind those bushes", pointing to behind the red slaad.The Blue Slaad paralyze Ivo momentarily with a Hold Person effect, and Nytor responds by blasting them with a flame strike.  Bax continues to unleash arrow after arrow into the reds, and has now turned his attention towards the blues.  Mournax proves to be far too tough for the reds, who at this point have lined up to die in front of him.Rath encases the Green Slaad in a Otiluke's telekinetic sphere.  The remaining red slaad go down, and Mournax and Ivo, who has awakened at this point move into to finish off the blues.Once the blues go down, Rath flies to the ground and instructs Dzintra and Bax to tie up the red slaad, who are merely unconscious from a nonlethal blast of force that Rath had laid down a few rounds before."Let's gather around this green slaad.  Perhaps we can coax some information out of him.", Rath says, flying down to the green, who is furiously pounding on the sphere from the inside.___________________________________________________________________ed. note: My party walked through this encounter (6 red slaad (CR 7 each), 2 blue slaad (CR 8), and a green (CR 11 I think)) like they were orcs just getting over the flu.  It prompted me to drastically change my Slaad (Reds are now CR 10, Blues are CR 12, and greens are CR 15.  I gave greens actual levels in wizard, and reds and blues have Spring Attack.  You can see my revised slaad in my rogue's gallery thread.  The next encounter with slaad would prove to be much, much more to my liking (coming up in game #7)</blockquote>
