Chapter 2: Into Darkness

Sarith nods and you all set out on your continued journey.

[More Details To Come]

As you all make your way through the tunnels and winding Underdark terrain, you find yourself comforted by the likely end of your troubles as you draw nearer to the Darklake. About halfway through the day, Shuushar steps up and announces to the group in broken common, Home is close friends. I lead, you go behind. I keep safe as can. It's unnerving to you all to see the fish smile, but smile he does as he takes over directing the group from Sarith.

You continue in this manner for a few more hours. As your legs tire, and you grow weary, you stop so people may forage for any last minute goods before you make the final push to the city. As you sit to rest, you hear a faint rustle and then the sound of water gurgling into a roar. From out of a stand of zurkhwood mushrooms, you see a large mass of kua-toa charging at you, spears at the ready.

Half the group launches their spears through the air, sailing toward your group.

Nearly thirty kua-toa are charging your encampment, many with spears readied.
COMBAT! PCs may act.

More than half of them threw spears at you! Most missed, however, some certainly found their marks. Jimjar takes one to the shoulder for 6 damage. Dustin, you get hit in the leg for 8 damage. Francis is pinned in the shoulder and the knee taking a massive 22 damage. Shuushar is grazed for 2 damage. Bildaweer is hit with a pair of spears for 13 damage.Updated Combat Stats:

Also, you are in a faerzress area here, so any spellcasting requires an extra D20 and D100 for surge check. On an 8, you will surge.

Strength Saves

Fang shifts into a bear and ends up right near the entangled Kuo-toas. Derendil charges up with him, claws lashing out at one of the fishmen, getting purchase with one swipe.

As a visual frame of reference (we won't need to really update it much, but this gives you an idea of how it all started and where the entangle is. The top half (all red) still have their spears, the bottom half (orangey-salmon) threw their spears at the group. The Bold black outline is the entangle area. The ones with black text are unentangled/made their saves. I didn't include the movement of Derendil or Fang.

The kuo-toa nearest to the entanglement, that had thrown his spear, falls down, snoring heavily.

Should have explained this, the darker brown down near you are cavern walls. You came up the tunnel from the south and were trying to determine if you were headed right or left.

Sarith points out a target to Everett and they both fire their hand crossbows.

Both bolts bury into the chest of the kuo-toa to the right of the one Dustin put to sleep. This fish rocks back onto his heels, a shriek of pain sailing through the air. He stumbles, but doesn't fall.

Bildaweer drops a sleep spell slightly offset to the right of the entangle spell. The fish man that Everytt and Sarith shot falls to the ground asleep as does the one Derendil tore into.

Francis charges forward to nearest fish man and swings mace.

Frances swings at the leftmost kuo-toa in the entanglement. It connects solidly with his fishy face.
