I am dm'ing an underdark campaign set in the world of Faerun, and recently hit a writer's block, while developing a certain part of the campaign, where the characters visit a kuo-toa city in search of a powerful magical item.
The party consists of a wide variety of races from different cultures: a female drow necromancer from a noble house /very interested in the surface world, secretly worships Kiaransalee/, a male half-drow shade cleric of Shar /from Tulthantar, religious advisor to the shadovar ambassador in Menzoberranzan/, a whisper gnome psion /member of a mercenary company/, a skulk rogue /mercenary from the same company, capable scout/, fey'ri sorcerer /mercenary, the same company/ and several more, but these are the most important ones (present on every game session
).
The problems are:
A) I cannot find any printed adventure, aside from CotSQ, featuring anything close to a kuo-toa city,
B) the party is still about three days away (they have a small army with them, sent from Menzoberranzan - 22 drow soldiers on lizard steeds, 24 orcs, 4 bugbears, 23 goblin archers) from the city,
C) on the last session they were attacked (random encounter) by four chameleon cave trolls (a template which gives cool hide bonus and a long tongue
) and their pet fiendish deinonychus, but all they managed to do was buthcher 8 goblins and die from the psionic blasts and mace blows from the cleric, the others were too far to get involved (not that they were needed or something 
)
I would like help with:
A) as above
B) I am bent on throwing at least one encounter maybe a tiny sub-quest and an encounter, any ideas will be welcomed !!
C) Again, I am having problems with devising opponents that would not be chew toys for these guys...(each member's ECL is 9)
All ideas and suggestions welcomed !!
