Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

Belaver waits for the Lit bolt, hoping to see a target. If he cannot, he orders Neshi to "heel" and plunges into the water, hoping to lure the frog to strike at him and let his companion, much more at home in the dark pond than he, strike at the beast.

Toriah motions with his rapier to where he thought he saw the splash. "It went over there!" he cries before chasing after it to attack again.
 

Froggy, are you hiding underneath the dark water?

Round 3
Initiative:
22: Redithidoor Halfmoon continues his song (everyone gets +1 to hit and damage)
20: Toriah swims toward where the Frog is now (swim check 5).
15: Kerwyn fires his crossbow into the dark water near where Craven is firing his arrows. Kerwin then reloads his crossbow.
15: Lenya does not see where the Frog went and is waiting for someone to show her where the Frog went. Lenya does see where the arrows are being fired, but all she can see is dark water.
14: Craven thinks he saw where the Frog landed. Wading through the water, Craven fires another arrow, Craven discovers he is still rusty with using the longbow (die roll 11, miss).
13: Giant Frog (if the Frog is where you think it is, it appears to do nothing). Belaver thinks something large moved underneath the water very fast near him.
12: Lylamwyn waiting with his crossbow
11: Belaver moves his spear towards where he thinks something is moving underwater, die roll 6, miss. Neshi dips her head below the surface of the water and bites Froggy (1 point of damage plus fort save, Froggy rolls 4+7 = 11, Froggy makes save vs. poison).

After being bit by the snake, Froggy jumps out of the creek and lands forty feet away on the far side of the creek (directly away from the light source).

The following people fire missiles at the leaping Frog: Lenya (18, bolt of flames hits for 5 points of damage and Froggy becomes shaken), Lylamwyn (20, critical hit with crossbow for 13 points of damage), Raner (1, javelin misses horribly), Chat (16, hits for 5 points of damage with shortbow)

Froggy tumbles through the air and lands hard on the ground, flopping and croaking and dies.

Her eyes trying to pierce the darkness, Lenya still waits for an opportunity to strike. The light, the elven mage has conjured, gives a glimpse of hope at least.
 

*Craven mutters something uncomplimentary about his longbow skills underneath his breath and tries, yet again, to actually hit the giant frog. At least there's more light.*
 

Raner stands very still, trying not to disturb the water around him; watchful and ready to skewer the frog should it show itself.
 

Belaver draws and plunges his shortspear downwards, hoping to gig the creature; he assumes Neshi will strike on her own.

OOC: Neshi doesn't need to make Swim checks, having a Swim speed.
 

Toriah strikes out at the frog again, cursing mentally the while. And I did not anticipate swimming this trip! he finishes to himself.
 

After Froggy dies, the adventurers discover Nierethi's slime-covered body inside the slain frog.

Nierethi has been crushed to death (by the Frog, by various jumps, and by the beating the Frog took).

He hangs on just long enough to say, "My treasure." one last time before dying.

Seeing what the nasty creature, which turned out to be a gigantic frog, had done to the poor gnome, Lenya says: “This does not bode well. Our journey might be ill-fated. Nierethi, as greedy as he might have been, surely did not deserve this.”
