The City Of Canned Tuna

To finish up the summary of the 1/13/08 Night Below session, the minotaurs were defeated. The head of the minotaur force had a mirror which appeared to function as a communications device. We thought initially that it might be used to warn the denizens of the City of the Glass Pool that intruders were at the back door. Bob W.'s paladin, however, demonstrating that he had no fear of any kind of discovery made an out going call and had a conversation with a human at the other end. The human claimed to not, in fact, be in residence in the City.

We then Thoqua'ed our way through a one-way door and into the back side of the city. We emerged high up on the city's vault wall behind a statue of the Koa-Toa's lobster goddess. Based on some earlier intelligence (a map) and some illuminated portions of the city, we were able to get our bearings. The city appeared quite active with Koa-Toa, but an architectural feature of the city's canal system (a high wall) and a co-incidence of the location of our ledge (near some plumbing) led us to believe we could execute a decapitation strike against the clerical leadership of the city.

So, we descended from the ledge, softened our way through the stone plumbing, got into the canal system, and worked our way near the temple wall. When last we left the characters, their plan was to Thoqua a whole in the side of the temple and surprise whoever was on the other side of the outer wall.
