Swept through a rising flood, they make it to a temporary sfate spot where they can tie up and repir the ship and grab a rest. Naturally we planned an ambush for this spot of safety.
The Dregg attack during their rest. It is a full pack of Dregg, with several large males, a number of females, and even some juveniles running with the pack. The combat is a running fight, with the Dregg not doing too much to engage the Prty, but seem more interested in running past. The Dregg are really fleeing some Thrulg. These are larger creatures that have a taste for magic. Most of the Players had never heard of these things, so I wanted to have a nasty surprise. The magic users were especially surprised when their spells seemed to heal the beasts!
The Thrullg also started their attack with a Blackout Pulse, which shuts down machanika and disrupts upkeeps.
Fallingblood feels a little safer, and is still running off down the Dragon’s Throat. She is ready to leave the underground and try to reach contacts in southern Khador.

Ship and a shoreline are all that are needed. The Dregg attack from the shore, so the Thrulg can sneak attack from the water.
