[QUOTE="Ralif Redhammer, post: 6859978, member: 30438"] As written, yeah, Sloobludop is a bit odd – it’s all intended to get to the altar and sacrifice scene, and the rising of Leemoogoogon. I wish I had done more to re-write it before I ran it, but I ran out of time. One of the great things about Out of the Abyss is that there's a lot of room for DM creativity. I think your idea is sound and gives the PCs more agency and input into how they tackle the section. The only thing that I might mention is PC motivation – I don’t know your group, but one key part of the section is giving them a reason to aid the Kuo-Toa, rather than just stealing a boat and trying to traverse the Darklake on their own. If you’re looking for ideas for social challenges with the Kuo-Toa, there are a lot of things you can use in the text. Things like how Kuo-Toa like to be higher up to demonstrate greater importance when speaking. The seeking of mysteries and strange wisdom within the Darklake. They are a scavenger people, and what they value might not be the same as the surface races. Oh, and one thing I'd recommend is practicing saying all the names; they can be a little weird to keep straight and pronounce right. [/QUOTE]
