WHERE'S FARRAH? Picking up the trail of the Kuo-Toa, the gang follows tracks back to an inky pool where an underground stream emerges.
These heroes have faced giants, shipwreck, dragons, and death itself, but nothing vexed them quite so much as an underground toilet.
Angry at the realization that Farrah was likely carried down into the depths and on to who knows what, the crew slaughtered their Kua-Toa prisoners for catharsis.
Some shenanigans later, Arthur and Blah find themselves in a dark grotto, isolated from their fellows, Blah is unconscious, Arthur is mostly naked but has a glowing dagger for warmth. Arthur finds a little, ill-hidden "secret" tunnel but elects not to explore it. (Hilarity will ensue).
Khostov has a moment of insane insight, displaces water from the pond with a Thunderwave, then blasts it out the grotto end with a Gust of Wind -- hurling himself into the tunnel, he emerges from the water in the grotto like a sub-launched Polaris missile. The water backfills.
Now on HIS own, Sommpher turns a skeletal swarm using his spooky cleric powers, which is enough to win Jenny's affections.
Blah wakes up, but he is in darkness with his pals. Khostov is out of spells. They stumble about a bit, follow the secret path, and find it leads back to an overlook near the pond. They interrupt Sommpher and Jenny, snogging.
Well.
