TOOTH aches

by Lunadris Marianath

Gil scouted the room which had no one in it. We searched, or as Stilga would say "tossed" the room. We found some small things but nothing to helpful so we moved on. At the next door we found the same thing, except there was a fancy greataxe in the room. Stilga immediately grabbed it and noticed it said, "Hogs Bane" on the shaft. Very likely magical.
We scoped out the next room but it had a bunch of sleeping sahuagin! We closed the door and whispered our plan. Do we kill them preemptively while they sleep or should be just leave them be. The group debated the moral and ethical dilemmas of killing them. Do the land dwellers not do the same to scourge of the land? Either way, we decided to not kill them and leave them be. we continued quietly to search the next two rooms. We never even noticed that the door reopened as the sleeping, well not so sleeping, sahuagin attacked! Kalibek and I took a nasty surprise as they suck their spears into us. Between the shock, Algar and Petruska were able to get some hits in and help. Torrielle summoned two giant octopus that grappled and restrained two of the sahuagin which greatly helped. It took us a bit to kill them all but we did it. Bleeding, bruised, and broken, we succeeded. We finished looting the floor and hid the bodies in the same room as before.
With our energies and bodies depleted, we bunkered down into the sleeping sahuagin room to rest. Gil remained an ever-vigilant guard. No one came by or checked the rooms which allowed us to lick our wounds and recover.
With renewed vigor, we regrouped and formed up to head down the last tunnel. We peeked at the bottom to find two large sahuagin standing guard. They hadn't seemed to notice us so we used Message to communicate our plan. Torrielle will use a spell to blast them and we follow the charge in!
With us all ready to go, Torrielle used Ice Storm to batter the large sahuagins as we raced in! The two large sahuagin turned to greet us and we found that they not only were much larger and stronger than the previous sahuagin, these large warriors had four arms!!
