Curious how/if people used Gutterrut to annoy their players?
This actually worked out really well for us. Skaven had taken the last of his mooks and escaped, cutting the rope to the skycar on his way out. Triel was dead, and their last encounter in the dungeon was Tash. So Gutterut was following them, the Kopru had dominated the fighter and planned on dominating the rogue when they returned to the beach. The plan was to have Fighter and Rogue vs. Cleric and Mage with Gutt stinging whoever was weakest.
Rogue made his will save and Fighter made his will save when told to attack the rest of the party, so the domination was broken. Kopru is angry, but certainly won't come out of the water.
The fighter drinks a potion of spider climb and begins ferrying people to the upper ledge. First Gutterut tried to scare him, but he has too many hit dice and it doesn't work. Then he tries to sting him, but gets pummeled by the backhand, and the cleric pegs him with a crossbow bolt from back on the beach. So screwing with the fighter on the wall isn't doing any good.
He has the wand of water control, and he's a spellcasting devil, so I figure he can use a divine wand. I started laughing during the session when I thought of it-- he began to raise the water in the underground lake with the wand.
Then it became a race against time. It took two rounds (and charges) to raise the level of the lake 5 feet, and it took the fighter 4 rounds to climb to the ledge and 4 rounds back. The cleric volunteers to be the last to go and gets as far from the water as he could. Gutterut is cackling and calling out taunts as the water rises.
In the end, the cleric was standing on the last 5 foot square of dry land, the kopru erupted out of the water and missed with its tail, and the fighter made a daring rescue, pulling the cleric up and out of harm's way.
They all escaped and I'm debating whether Gutterut will be back to plague them at a later time.
I accidentally forgot about him. *shrug*
