Yeth Hound

Image
Yeth hounds are outsiders. An outsider is at least partially composed of the essence (but not necessarily the material) of some plane other than the Material Plane. Some creatures start out as some other type and become outsiders when they attain a higher (or lower) state of spiritual existence. Outsiders have darkvision. Unlike most living creatures, an outsider does not have a dual nature – its soul and body form one unit. When an outsider is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don’t work on an outsider. It takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection to restore it to life. An outsider native to the Material Plane can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other living creatures can be. Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep (although they can do so if they wish). Outsiders native to the Material Plane breathe, e

The heroes eventually defeated the monsters, which Bruthien and Tsela identified as yeth hounds. But this encounter caused them to lose sight of their goblin prisoner.

The notes on the nightstand were mostly rough drafts of Tsuto's plans to blackmail his father and use the Sandpoint Glassworks as a staging ground for the coming investigation for the Catacombs of Wrath - there wasn't anything here that was news to the heroes by this point. Chambers 1. While this bedroom was clean and brightly lit by an everburning torch lying on the nightstand, its spartan decor made it unclear whether it was actually lived in. Chambers 2. This bedroom had a faint musty odor. The bed was covered wit

The heroes eventually severely injured their adversary, who threw down his weapons and begged for mercy. He promised to help the heroes however he could if given his life - this promise was mostly legitimate. When the man surrendered, he did what he could to ensure his continued well-being. He gave his wealth to the heroes and they let him go. The heroes continued their exploration. Chieftain's Harem. Dozens of ratty cushions, lumpy pillows, and rumpled dogskin furs lay heaped in the south half of this chamber, which smelled of a nauseating mixture of vinegar and rotten flowers. The stink in the air was, horrifyingly enough, perfume worn by the four hideous goblin women who lounged about in this chamber. These four were Warchief Ripnugget's wives. One of Nualia's allies,  Bruthazmus the bugbear, was also encountered here. Bruthazmus was cruel and abusive to most others in Thistletop (including Nualia's other allies, excluding these delightful gobl
