The party travelled down through the underground fissure for several miles. Eventually, the passage opened into an immense cavern. At the far side of the cavern stood a massive stone structure shaped like a spined fish, with a wide stairway leading up into its open mouth. The bottom of the cavern was covered in water. The party left the horses and Redtail in a sheltered cave and headed toward the lake.
As they reached the shore, a long canoe drifted out of the mist. The froglike creature paddling the canoe kept a close watch on the party. Roland cast a spell to allow him to speak kuo-toan, and the creature asked him "seek ye the Smoking Eye? I'll guide you through the maw." Roland agreed, and the party hopped into the canoe. Just after the party stepped onto the massive staircase, several kuo-toans fired arrows down from the eyes of the fish. Garlen and Rain spider-climbed up the side of the fish while Grokk and Horkina returned fire. The enemies were quickly subdued. Rain and Garlen signalled that they were heading down a nearby staircase. The others headed for a curtain where they guessed the staircase would lead. The group was reunited in the next room, where a few kuo-toans had just been awakened by the sounds of battle. The rapier-wielding amphibians were no match for the axe-wielding surface dwellers.
Rain disabled a trap on the large doors ahead, and the party moved into a 70-foot-tall room. The party was on the mid-level balcony, looking across at a huge statue of the lobster-headed, lobster-clawed woman, the kuo-toan goddess Blibdoolpoolp. Archers began to fire from the upper level balcony, and clerics used the statue to generate a massive bolt of electricity that narrowly missed Rain. Grokk and Rain headed upstairs to take out the archers, while the others headed downstairs to fight the armored clerics. These foes fell quickly, and the party began searching the room.
Suddenly, an Erinyes demon appeared on the platform in front of the statue. Grokk, Horkina, Garlen, and Rain surrounded her and took a few quick strikes. As she flew up toward the ceiling, they each took the opportunity to attack her once more. She fired down an unholy blight on the party, and then began attacking with her flaming longbow. Grokk and Horkina fired back, and a magic missile from Roland provided the killing blow.
The party went downstairs and opened the main doors. These led to a chamber with dead kuo-toans mounted on the walls. Rain was perceptive enough to notice the opening for a pit on the floor, and warned the party. As they moved around it, a strange shadowy creature flew across the room and attacked, attempting to drain Horkina's constitution. She resisted, and Amber and Garlen used healing spells to seriously damage the enemy. Grokk's axe passed right through it once, but a second swing connected, and a similar attack from Horkina brought it down.
The party moved on to a set of workshops, where they encountered a spear-wielding kuo-toan. He landed a few blows, but eventually fell, and Garlen claimed his returning shortspear. In another room, Roland spotted a pool of dragon-kuo-toan halfbreed fingerlings. Several fireballs and potions of alchemists fire later, they were destroyed. About a dozen more kuo-toans of various sorts fell before the party decided it was time to get some rest.
The party reached level 8.
