[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 5659610, member: 46713"] The party carefully approached a bridge crossing a subterranean river with a guardhouse on the other side in an area of the Underdark, known to be inhabited by Kuo-Toas. Then the sorcerer walked out into the open to use detect magic on the bridge discovering a magical symbol. The kuo-toa guards in the guard house didn't fail to spot the sorcerer, sounded an alarm and started firing crossbow bolts at the sorcerer. At this point the fighter decided to charge over the bridge, triggering the symbol. Everyone else sighed but eventually followed suit. Some guards left the guardhouse by its only entrance in the back to block the party's progress and shortly after a Kuo-Toa priest that had been attracted by the alarm appeared out of the river with reinforcements, neatly cutting off the party's last escape route. With great effort the party managed to win the day, slaughtering several waves of Kuo-Toas, narrowly avoiding a TPK. Then they retreated to the entry cavern to rest, only to be ambushed about an hour later by the remaining Kuo-Toas... [/QUOTE]
