The bad guys cover nine different classes at 5th level combined with one level of rogue. They present a wide array of different attacks and defenses.Tomaka and Ibo escaped. The party subdued Kibakichi. Via charm person, the heroes learned that the Scarlet Brotherhood seeks the Crystal Key to the Chaos Caves which the heroes liberated from the Fright Brigade. According to Kibakichi, the Crystal Key allows access to the Caves' lost githyanki vaults, which allegedly hold hints to finding "a powerful artifact."Miki, female human: Rogue 1/Monk 5; CR 6; Medium Humanoid; HD 1d6+1 plus 5d8+5; hp 32; Init +2; Spd 60 ft.; AC 17 (+2 Dex, +3 Wisdom, +1 monk, +1 armor), touch 16, flat-footed 15; Base Atk +3; Grp +5; Atk Unarmed strike +6 melee (1d8+2) or +1 handaxe +6 melee (1d6+3/x3), or masterwork light crossbow +6 ranged (1d8/19-20); Full Atk Flurry of blows +5/+5 (1d8+2); SA ki strike (magic), sneak attack +1d6; SQ evasion, purity of body, slow fall 20 ft., still mind (+2 vs. enchantments), trapfinding; AL LE; SV Fort +5, Ref +8, Will +7; Str 14, Dex 15, Con 13, Int 14, Wis 16, Cha 8......Languages: Common, Gnome, Scarlet Tongue......Skills and Feats: Climb +11, Escape Artist +11, Hide +11, Jump +13, Listen +12, Move Silently +11, Open Lock +6, Search +6, Sleight of Hand +6, Spot +7, Tumble +13.
