Hey everyone,
Im not sure where everyone is in the scheme of things, but my group has been plugging along through the Underdark in search of a crazy dwarf. They have managed to take the initiative from the KT guarding Bhal-Hamatugn...quite impressive really.
The group ranger snuck into the "eyes" fully buffed and slaughtered the guards from the top down. With them out of the way, they got the jump on MM and his crew of priests. Aushanna proved to be difficult, but eventually the group prevailed. They kept pushing themselves onward and ran up against Saagogoi the Assassin. Dispatching him in quick order they came up on Zenith on their last legs. Essentially, half the party had 1 hp and the other half had no powers/spells. They attempted to parlay with him, but he wasn't hearing it. Hurling his globe to the floor summoned the invisible stalker, which wreaked havoc on the group. They opted to retreat across the lake (the boat was free as they killed the Ferryman). Here is the dilemma:
They have yet to encounter Dhorlot as they opted not to ascend that particular staircase and the Invisible Stalker is loose. Now, if I wanted to be realistic, I would have the thing hunt them down in their weakened state and systematically murder them...but I would feel pretty bad about it. Any suggestions on what to do with the rest of this Chapter? I have crazy Zenith, the Invisible Stalker, and a pissed off Dhorlot to play with. Would they get together and discuss strategy? Would they go out into the Underdark and hunt these do-gooders down? I just want to be realistic, but not too harsh. Thanks in advance for any help.
