Cork identifies this as an Otyugh! But as he realizes what it is, it speaks...
“Give something good to Togg. I am Togg. Give Togg good food with good taste.” the female otyugh says as she lashes her tentacles at the walls again, carving more lines into them with her barbed tentacles.
Cork can share this info at will: Large abberation, Darkvision, immune to disease, bite attack with disease, tentacle attacks with grab, constrict, and the bite disease is Filth fever: Bite—injury; save Fortitude DC 14; onset 1d3 days; frequency 1/day; effect 1d3 Dex damage and 1d3 Con damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The save DC is Constitution-based. Basically these things eat garbage and collect garbage in their lairs.
Nigel smiles at the news that we may not need to fight this beast. He says to his companions quietly, Hey guys, we should feed it and it might let is by without fighting. I brought some extra rations it might be better to save resources. This place seems dangerous. Are any of you particularly charismatic?
I vote that who ever has the highest diplomacy make a check and try to offer "trogg" some food.
I don't have anything else food wise on me... But he does normally eat garbage so even trail rations is a step up from that. If someone else something better, I am all for trying.

Sorry I guess I put my guy on the wrong map. I was assuming it was the link with "Vault" in it.
"Well if it eats garbage as Cork says, we don't need to waste rations on it. Does someone have any trash? I have soap, no need for that!"
When the group has decided on their offering, he presents it to the otyugh. "Enjoy with our compliments!"

"To be honest, I don't know if we have enough garbage to keep it distracted. Let's try something." Cork bends down and reaches into the murky water till his hand finds something solid and slimy. He picks it up and throws it towards the monster, in the same direction where Jerbrick threw the soap.
Sorry about that guys, I took today off from work so I won't be at my PC much, I'll try to find a minute to pull up the adventure and get at least something thrown up there shortly.
"Togg not a he, Togg a SHE." the otyugh corrects Nigel as Jerbrick offers up some soap along with the other offerings. Togg looks at the food and isn't angered by your offer but turns it down, "Sewers have lots of food, but I want GOOD food. Food from above! Tasty drinks!" she points one of her barbed tentacles at Nigel. "That one looks good. It's small. No one would notice it's gone."

Now, now....let's not be hasty....you don't want to eat him...gnomes are a bit on the rubbery side...or so I have read. We don't have a huge selection of tasty morsels here...what about if we give you some of what we have and I will personally bring you down some nice food after we leave...a nice roast...maybe some ham...and some cheese. Do you like cheese?diplomacy:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Nigel is startled by the threat. I am so sorry for the confusion Togg, ma'am. I didn't mean to offend. I am not very tasty. Plus do you see me, I am tiny. So what's your favorite food, Togg? We can bring you any yummy foods from up on the surface. You can trust us.

"I guess diplomacy isn't getting us anywhere." Cork makes a few arcane gestures with his hands and a flash of energy flows around his body for a split second. Then he holds his cutlass in front of him.

I thought I posted before that I would always keep Rayquaza "tricked" but I can't find that now. Maybe it got eaten? Anyway, from now on, after every combat, I will automatically implant a new misdirection trick on Rayquaza.
Jerb scurries forward to Rayquaza and taps him, saying, "I can help you find an opening on that trasheater." The little gnome turns and stares at the creature which has so rudely rejected his generosity.
Also using hypnotic stare. Otyugh gets -2 Will saves. The first person to hit it gets 1 extra damage also. And if/when Rayquaza attacks, Jerb will attempt a feint on his behalf so he can hit flatfooted.
Togg takes a 5 foot step closer to Rayquaza who is in Togg's way of getting to her meal, so she lashes out with both tentacles before attempting to take a bite out of him.
A tentacle bashes into Rayquaza's armor before Togg leans in to sink her teeth into it as well, but a lucky tentacle smashes into his head and deals some damage...
Crit Tentacle:2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 = 13
...before attempting to grab him by his head as well...
Tentacle Grab:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
...and constricting...
Tentacle Constrict:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Rayquaza take 18 damage :(
Rayquaza, Vello, Goran and Nigel, you're up!
Edit: I also moved you guys over to the side because I mentioned earlier that the sewer water is 10 feet deep and requires swim checks so keep that in mind for further movement
Seeing the creature attack and seriously hurt Rayquaza, Velli unleashes his Cold Blast. The sphere of cold energy shoots forth at the monster, attempting to envelope it with it's freezing cold air.
I was under the assumption that, as agreed upon before, someone would use Rayquaza's Mage Armour wand on him just as we enter the sewers. This would raise his AC to 19 and prevent the crit from confirming.
We did say that was what we are doing Rayquaza. You ask me to cast it.
Nigel looks horrified at what just happened to Rayquaza, knowing that an attack like that would of put him on the ground for sure. It will be okay my friend! We will destroy Togg and bring you back to us! He then looks to Trogg and days Togg, it didnt need to happen like this. We could of brought you yummy food... as he is saying that he makes a series of arm movements and finishes by making a circle in the air with his finger, a golden line following the finger until it connects, finishing the circle. He then shouts and a eagle starts coming from within the circle. It finishes forming over the water in front of Cork and the monster.
standard action: use summon monster 1 spell like ability
Note, I can move characters using my phone but I won't be able to add the eagle to the map till I am at my laptop and I am out of town till Tuesday.

The eagle comes flying full force through the summoning circle Nigel has created, knowing that he only gets called to this world when there is an enemy. When he finishes forming right in front of Togg, he waists no time clawing and biting at her.

Cork sizes up the situation. "I really don't want to get hit by that thing but we need to kill it." He takes a quick step forward and then, with the cutlass in his right hand, he swings at the monster but the blade swings wide. With his left hand he casts a ray of frost into the beast.
Sorry for the delay, I'm currently traveling abroad and only have time to post twice a day. Now that I'm back on my computer I noticed that I might be missing something, but regardless of Mage Armor my CMD is 20, so the grab fails.
If I'm not grappled:
"You want to eat, you voracious freak? Eat my fists!"
Rayquaza puts his hands up over his head, mimicking the horns of an Imperial Dragon, then steps us and proceeds to pommel the creature in a flurry of blows.
Swift action for Dragon Style and full-round for Flurry of Blows.
If I'm grappled nevertheless:
"No, you hungry monster, I'm the one who dictates the flow of battle!"
Rayquaza waits for a moment for an opening, then twists around Togg's tentacle and frees himself of her grasp. He puts his hands up over his head, assuming the Dragon Style stance, and prepares to strike.
Vello does indeed hit Togg and blasts her with a bit of cold while Cork misses with his ray as well as his cutlass. Rayquaza's fists bounce off of the natural hide of Togg's thick skin as he was never grappled in the first place and only took a little bit of damage.
Jerbrick is still up and then it's Togg's turn again.

Jerb draws out a vial of acid and lobs it at the horrible creature.
Aiming for the back corner where it won't splash my companions.
Rayquaza's fists continue to be barely deflected by the natural hide of Togg's skin as Nigel splashes some acid on to her dealing 2 damage. His eagle runs into the same problem as Rayquaza, barely unable to pierce the thick skin of the monster while Goran pats Rayquaza on the back and heals him a bit.
Rayquaza isn't grappled, I didn't realize his CMD was so high the first time, forgot he was a monk, and then realized on the second attempt that she's not full grappling which puts her at a huge disadvantage and probably won't ever grab him now :P
Vello is up and his action will go before Cork and Jerbrick's next actions.

Jerb draws out his crossbow and fires at the otyugh.
You all have no problem actually hitting Togg, besides Cork, but the mundane attacks seem to just bounce off of her thick hide unable to pierce the natural armor of her skin as she comes in to attack again.
Taking one bite too many, Rayquaza collapses to the floor. His draconic blood immediately gets to work, cleansing his system of the disease carried in Togg's bite and controlling his blood flow appropriately to stabilise him.
She is more stubern then I expected. I should of cast a spell to improve my eagle. Too late now. I just hope she realizes that this fight is pointless... shoot am I speaking out loud again?
Nigel speaks while conjuring up more acid to throw at Togg.
acid splash (touch):1d20 + 2 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 4 - 4 = 13 - 4 from shooting into melee and -4 for shooting through traffic damage:1d3 ⇒ 3
With the last combination of cold, acid and eagle, Togg rears back a bit and yells for you to stop, "Ok ok Togg won't eat the little one. Please stop hurting Togg."

Goran bends over the fallen Rayquaza and puts his hand on the nagaji's head. He mutters a quick prayer to his goddess and a small light emanates from his hand.
using my healing domain ability to give 1d4+1 hpheal:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Seeing his effort not revive the monk, he tries again, this time a different prayer.
Togg points a tentacle down the sewer tunnel she came from, "That way has the stone rat and mean people. I asked them for food, too. They said 'no' and ran. Bad people. Looked tasty, though."
Togg goes over to a section of the sewer next to Jerbrick and reveals her cache of refuse. Togg has been using this cave as a place to store her more interesting finds over the past several years, though the collection serves as a little more than a short-term larder and a place to stash worthless, quickly forgotten baubles. "I give you Togg's treasure and you let me live?"
Sadly there's nothing of interest in the refuse cache, it used to be a faction mission but now it's just junk. I mean if you really want you can rummage through it though! Togg also doesn't know anything else besides what she's told you, ya got it all! I've also revealed the area that she pointed out.

Vello glances at the cache, "We will let you keep your 'treasure' if you promise not to cause us anymore trouble."
He looks at the others, "Maybe the rat statue has something to do with the cult that use to be here. Without any other leads, I suggest we head down that way."

Jerb smiles at Togg and pats her on the leg. "Thank you kindly, sweetheart. We don't have much use for your treasures, so why don't continue to hold them?"
When everyone is ready he moves to the area Togg suggested.
