Reminded to watch out for the kuo-toan pincer staves, Morph moves a bit closer trying to smack the aquatic creature with his staff. (5ft step)
 

Swimming through the water, Dargo, Solli, Rogoth, Rune and Bull move closer to air. The water there seems somehow different... murkier...

Meanwhile, in the underwater side cavern...

Morph swings his shillelagh at the stunned kuo-toa, striking it solidly across the head.

Vuoor flurries just as the kuo-toa regains its senses. The first blow is dodged, but the Vuoor places his second fist exactly where the creature dodged to, slamming into its face. Vuoor feels the bones of the kuo-toa's face crush under the force of his blow.

Denasa continues her attack, her many tentacles swirling around the last kuo-toa. The sea creature is overwhelmed by the whipping, crushing tentacles, and its breath is soon squeezed out of it.


Morph hits kuo-toa 2 once for 12
Vuoor hits once, critting for 20
Denasa hits with a tentacle, and just barely fails to start a grapple.


Some examination reveals the three pincer staffs are of exceptional quality, and the coral bracelelets and necklaces might be worth something too. One of the kuo-toa has a spell-component pouch, containing mundane components of little value.

Denasa plucks the spell pouch from the kuo-toa, as her own spell component pouch would get depleated if things continued at such a frantic pace. If she's satisfied that there's no more enemies, she turns to find where the others were, and help them get to air if possible.
 

Gasping for breath, Dargo, Solli, Rogoth, Rune, and Bull swim through the murky water. The end of the underwater tunnel is near. Gasping for breath, the air-breathers break the surface.

Then suddenly they realize where the murkiness in the water is coming from. On the shore are two duergar, looking like duergar commoners, and a bugbear wearing studded leather armor, with a heavy shield strapped to his back and a morningstar by his side.

The two duergar are carrying the body of a svirfneblin towards the water. The dead svirfneblin is unnaturally pale, and there is a large gaping hole in the top of her skull. You can see that her skull is hollow inside. There is a cart behind the duergar, stacked with dead svirfneblin bodies. They have been dumping dead bodies into the water.

Land is 10 ft away.

Initiative
16 Dargo
15 Solli
12 Bull
10 duergar (2)
8 Rune
7 bugbear
5 Rogoth
 

Aghast that the horrible mukiness turned out to be from the decomposing bodies of his kinsmen, Solli offers a silent curse against the offending MindFlayers with a promise of painful death. He then brings his dart thruster to bear and fires off two shots at the Bugbear who he deems as the "man-in-change" of the dumping crew.

**Wasn't certain if the enemy had noticed us as yet, though by having initiative, I'm guessing so. Once his shots are fired, he'll then make his way around the trio with a goal to flanking the bugbear so he can do some sneak attack damage.**

Morph ignores the gear that the kuo-toa dropped, but takes a quick look around to make sure there are no more enemies moving into the water. Then he swims back towards the air-breathers, very conscious of their need for air.
 

Dargo Golden, Half Deep Dragon Rng/Ftr HP: 83 AC:19

Dargo surged up out of the water as the nearby shots were fired, closing quickly and bringing his urgosh to bear againsthe nearest opponent.
 

Dargo surges out of the water, his urgrosh swinging. The duergar falls easily.

Solli fires twice at the bugbear, aiming carefully around the duergar to hit him. Both darts hit, and the bugbear, who had looked like he was about to run and raise an alarm, falls in his tracks.

Bull, excited by battle, surges out of the water and gores the remaining duergar, killing it instantly.
