[QUOTE="johndaw16, post: 2404569, member: 12033"] Got to say one surprisingly fun encounter for me as a DM and one that was surprisingly tough for my PCs involved chuuls and aquatic elves attacking the party on a ferry crossing a marsh. I slapped the Warbeast Templates on the chuuls (not sure if that is technically possible under the rules but hey I'm the DM for a reason). I used the chuuls as mounts for aquatic elf rangers with bows. The three chuuls and their riders laid an ambush for the small ferry boat the PCs were on with a summoned water elemental lurking in the river for back-up. The monsters managed to hide well enough in the river to get the drop on the PCs, the elves peppered the party with arrows to soften them up, then two of the chuul/elf pairs closed to melee. Needless to say the chuuls started to tear apart the boat and pull PCs into the water. The elves threw nets on the PCs and used tridents and their reach to great effect. I nearly killed two PCs outright and almost drowned the party barbarian because she couldn't swim (I ruled this because she was from the desert and had NEVER seen standing pools of water). And later on in the campaign a PC actually did die in a fight with chuul and its rider. [/QUOTE]
