Water dripped from Grub's maw and the equipment he wore as did from the others who stood and supported him
as strange looking, underwater foulness walked around them gazing at the entire party with their big eyes. Grumbling to himself
did Grub do for some time as the strange creatures spoke in a language he could not understand and by the looks of the others, they
too were having much difficulty.
With a murmur and wave of her hands, one of the strange creatures cast a spell and suddenly everything
they were saying was able to be understood and the words of prophecy and saviours rang through the chamber like another bad dream. Grub
rolled his eyes. Here we go again!
So you're popular! That's what happens when you're making such a big name for yourself. Everyone wants
a piece of the action and this is no different than all those other times you were running around doing things for people. Welcome to the Sahuagin City
which resides some 400 feet below the crashing waves, where Saemon Havarian's boat once was.
Once you're able to understand the Sahuagin who are speaking to you in this chamber, you'll start to learn exactly
what's going on here and begin to put the pieces together. That's right. They need your help too! Now you understand why Grub is always
rolling his eyes because quite frankly, it's getting a little old.
King Ixilthetocal and Baron Thelokassyil will be before you, as well as some Sahuagin Guards who are watching you
very, very closely even if they seem to be cleaning their fins. Don't let it fool you brave warrior. Now, being told that you've been expected
by one of their prophecies might be enough to make anyone want to swim back to the surface but it's not as bad as you may think and in the end,
they only want to straighten out their own problems; while using you to solve them, of course.
It would seem that King Ixilthetocal has a renegade prince running around, namely Prince Villynaty who has gathered
up a good number of Sahuagin to follow him and it is this that King Ixilthetocal is very worried about. He would like nothing more than for you
to hunt this rebel Prince Villynaty down and bring his very heart back to the King as proof and you'll be rewarded for doing it too!
Let's not close the book just yet for with any plot, there is always another being worked in the shadows, something
that could easily change your mind to do the other but we'll get back to that in a moment. First things first and that is proving that you are
in fact, the very one that the prophecy has spoken about and you'll have to prove your worth to King Ixilthetocal before anything else happens
here.
You'll be escorted to the Ettin Pit where you will be asked to take on the Ettin as proof of
your bravery and strength in battle. Afterwards, Priestess Senityili will want to have a word with you over at The Temple.
Now you will be returning to speak with King Ixilthetocal either to hand him over the HEART OF VILLYNATY
or a fake one while you wait for Prince Villynaty to arrive with his rebels to kill King Ixilthetocal. How you handle this of course is up to you and your choices
will unfold as you explore the Sahuagin City.
|
Ettin Pit
|
|
|
Here you will be greeted by a foul and large Ettin who is looking forward to ripping your head off and using it
as a basketball or ornament in its cell. You'll have to defend yourself to prove to King Ixilthetocal and the rest of those Sahuagin who support
their King that you are indeed, the one the prophecy speaks of.
The Ettin should give you no trouble at all and you'll prove to everyone that you are indeed, the one that is spoken
of in tales of old, come to save them from the rebel Prince Villynaty.
By proving your worth, you may now tend to hunting down the rebel leader for King Ixilthetocal but remember how
Priestess Senityili wanted to speak with you at her temple? Well, now is a very good time to do so and it would be very wise of you to go there
as soon as possible.
Things are about to get very interesting.
|
The Temple
|
|
|
Here you will meet High Priestess Senityili about to sacrifice the High Priestess Tlyysixxous to their God and once
that's done, you should get down to business.
Speaking with High Priestess Senityili, she will tell you what King Ixilthetocal will need of you and that is for
you to find a SEKOLAH'S TOOTH which will allow you passage
get to a place that has been locked away for ages. Now the SEKOLAH'S TOOTH
was stolen during a Drow raid and the SEKOLAH'S TOOTH was put away for
safe keeping so no one could ever get past the doors again.
Strange enough though, it would seem Prince Villynaty has somehow managed to get past the doors when no one else could not.
You'll have to find the SEKOLAH'S TOOTH so you can go and speak with
Prince Villynaty and eventually kill him and bring his heart back.
That's what King Ixilthetocal wants you do to but the High Priestess Senityili has another idea. It seems that the very
King who leads her people is obviously mad and lost his fish marbles long ago. The High Priestess Senityili offers another option, that of speaking with
Prince Villynaty and seeing what he has to say. He would surely be better suited to be King, being all there and is also young where King Ixilthetocal is
not.
If you accept to talk to Prince Villynaty for the High Priestess Senityili, she will give you a REBEL ORB in
which Prince Villynaty and his followers will know you come in peace and mean them no harm. This is, of course, up to you to decide what you wish to do. There is no obvious harm in speaking with Prince Villynaty. At least
then you can come to your own choice as what you'd like to do with those in the Sahuagin City.

|
|
Sahuagin Ambush
|
|
|
Be wary when you walk here for you will be ambushed by rebel Sahuagins that want nothing more than to add you
to their growing collection of trophies. Cast your spells and swing your weapons to bring them down and to their final rest! Search their
bodies for the items that will definitely become very useful to your party in the later stages of your adventure!
|
Zombie Zone
|
|
|
A foul stench will waft to your nostrils as you make your way down to this chamber, where Sea Zombies dance and sway
to a silent tune on a floor of blood. Their splashes will alert you to their own attacks as they lumber forward in hopes to make you join
them in their dance!
Battle them if you must, leave if you wish but there is typical battle experience to be had here as well as a few potions
worth your time.
|
Drow Dangers
|
|
|
This is the entrance to the Drow area that
was constructed some 100 years ago when the Drow burst through from The
Underdark and ran rampant in the Sahuagin City and
they have left a few foul friends behind to deal with anyone attempting
to explore this area. You will be greeted by a few Ettercaps, Sword Spiders
and Bone Golems that will immediately rush towards your party and do as
they were told to do.
Bringing them down shouldn't be too difficult for such a brave warrior as yourself and when you're done, clean your weapons
and move on to the next area where some real fun will begin. It might also be wise to search for any traps the Drow may have left behind for those who dare
snoop around. Watch your step!
| Sahuagin City - The City - Imps Imprisonment |
|
|
Imps Imprisonment
|
|
|
As you make your way into this chamber you will notice some strange looking people standing around in front of chests that
rest behind them. Two Imps move slowly about, flying on their leather wings and when they spot you, their eyes light up and grow wide! It would seem
they have not seen anyone come through here in a very, very long time and now that you've excited them, it is a game you must play.
To play this game, you will have to place particular items that relate to the particular person who is standing in front of their
own personal chest. Playing this little game of the Imps will not only get you a handful of experience for the party but also gain you some nice items that
your party can make use of in the future.
The list of what item to place into what NPC chest is listed below:
| ITEM |
NPC |
| Scimitar |
Drizzt |
| Pendant of Silver |
Alustriel |
| Quarter Staff |
Khelben |
| Helmet |
Piergerion |
| Pipe |
Elminster |
Now after you've completed this little game that the Imps wanted you to play it is the Beholder just off the platform that
you should go and speak with for it is he who guards SEKOLAH'S TOOTH that High Priestess
Senityili told you about. Now it is fairly easy to get caught up in this conversation and if you're nice and have an above average wisdom score or an NPC with the same,
you can get the Beholder Spectator to let you take the item within the chest rather than kill him for it. It would seem that the orders given was for Spectator to watch
the chest and not the item within the chest.
If you care to battle with him instead, you can do this as well but you'll receive more experience if you get SEKOLAH'S TOOTH without
doing battle. You now have the item needed to get past the large double doors and pass through to speak with Prince Villynaty where he resides.
| Sahuagin City - The City - The Rebel Base |
|
|
The Rebel Base
|
|
|
The rebels left here to guard the entrance to where you will meet Prince Villynaty will attack you on sight and it's best for some members
of your party to have long ranged weapons for four rebels remain standing in the water where you will not be able to strike back. Only those with long ranged attacks or
weapons with a long reach can do damage to them. The fact they are shooting bolts at you on a constant basis can also become very annoying to any spell casters or members
of your party that are low in health.
Clear this area out of rebels and use
the SEKOLAH'S
TOOTH to open the door. You will meet up with the rebel Sahuagin
Chieftain and two things will happen now.
The first thing, if you do not have the REBEL ORB you will
be attacked and you will have to battle your way through the forces of rebels to get to Prince Villynaty and gain the HEART OF VILLYNATY
so you can return it to King Ixilthetocal.
The second is having the REBEL ORB given to you by the High Priestess Senityili and speaking with Prince Villynaty
and helping him take out King Ixilthetocal.
|
The Rebel Base
|
|
|
Of course, each has its negative rewards and if you want all the rewards possible with as much experience as possible, it's best for you to
help Prince Villynaty, kill King Ixilthetocal and then backstab Prince Villynaty and kill him too.
You will also want to return here when you've made your choice and have done everything that you can do and use the MAGIC ROPE to get
yourself down the darkened well to The Underdark.
| Sahuagin City - The People |
|
This is a full list of all People found within Sahuagin City.
- King Ixilthetocal
- Baron Thelokassyil
- Captain Alyittyl
- Royal High Priestess Senityili
- Prince Villynaty
| Sahuagin City - All Quests |
|
This is a full list of all Quests found within Sahuagin City.
You can't avoid it as much as I wished you could have and you'll be venturing there soon enough but you'll need the MAGIC ROPE to get
down the pit and to The Underdark. First though, you'll have to either kill King Ixilthetocal, Prince Villynaty or both! That of course is up to you. If you kill King Ixilthetocal you'll
find the MAGIC ROPE in his treasury and if you slay Prince Villynanty you'll find it on his corpse.
Regardless, finally getting to The Underdark will earn each member of the party 20,000xp.
| GETTING TO PRINCE VILLYNATY |
There are a few things that you'll need to get past the double doors and into the rebel base. The first and obvious choice is being told of their
location by King Ixilthetocal and the problems that he has been causing. The second is finding and getting SEKOLAH'S TOOTH
which will unlock the doors and allow you to continue to either kill Prince Villynaty or speak with him.
SEKOLAH'S TOOTH can be found in the Drow area within the Imps Imprisonment room being guarded by
a foul and deadly beholder!
These silly Imps these days, always playing games with someone or something just for their own personal amusement and this time is no different
as you make your way into the room. The game they wish you to play is with a five items and five well known non-player characters who make Faerun their
home and it's up to you to place the correct item in the chest behind the character who owns it.
Here is the full list of those items and non-player characters each item is given to:
| ITEM |
NPC |
| Scimitar |
Drizzt |
| Pendant of Silver |
Alustriel |
| Quarter Staff |
Khelben |
| Helmet |
Piergerion |
| Pipe |
Elminster |
Solving this puzzle will earn the party 18,500xp plus Boots of Etherealness and a Cloak of Protection +2!
| KILLING KING IXILTHETOCAL |
A choice you will be faced with eventually and one you should think about before going on about your actions. Killing King Ixilthetocal rather
than removing Prince Villynaty will give you this very outcome and it will also earn you more experience, if that's what you're looking for. You
may also feel better in helping Prince Villynaty and the High Priestess Senityili who insist that King Ixilthetocal has gone mad.
If you kill King Ixilthetocal, you'll receive 3,000xp for each Sahuagin Royal Guard who comes to his aid, 3,000xp for Captain Alyittyl, 4,000xp
for King Ixilthetocal, 974xp from Baron Thelokassyil, the Rod of Lordly Might, Protection from the Elements Scroll, a Spear +3 "Impaler", a Fireshield [Blue] Wizard Spell,
60,500xp each as a bonus for siding with Prince Villynaty and finally, the MAGIC ROPE needed
to enter The Underdark.
Perhaps killing King Ixilthetocal isn't worth your time and you'd rather
side with the mad King himself and remove Prince Villynaty. That is your
choice as well if you so decide to take it and if you go this route, you
will earn 2,000xp for killing Prince Villynaty, 3,000xp for the rebel Sahuagin
that come to his aid, 1,500 for the Sahuagin Chieftain, the Gauntlets of
Crushing, part of the Wave Blade, the Rod of Lordly Might, a Spear +3 "Impaler"
and the MAGIC
ROPE needed to get to The Underdark.
Finally, you will also receive 58,500xp for siding with King Ixilthetocal and killing Prince Villynaty.
Why stop at just one of these scum-bags when you can kill them both? The best route of course is to side with Prince Villynaty, kill King Ixilthetocal and receive
all the items and experience gained by doing so, then stab Prince Villynaty in the back and attack him and his goons. You'll receive all the experience for killing
Prince Villynaty and his rebels, plus gain the Gauntlets of Crushing and part of the Wave Blade that you wouldn't normally get if you left him alive and well. Of course,
if you want someone to help run the Sahuagin City and lead them into the future, you could leave Prince Villynaty alive and simply pick pocket him for the items.

If you happened to find Spellhold a walk in the park, you'll find yourself yawning in the Sahuagin City for
it is just as dull and drab as counting snowflakes and if you had no trouble doing Spellhold with your main character, the same will go
here. The Sahuagin City is a hop, skip and jump to The Underdark which you won't have any problems doing and you'll be able to leave your
party standing around while you do all the work.
Grub chopped his way through everything thrown at him but there was times I needed an archer or two to deal with those Sahuagin who were sitting in the water
where Grub could not get to them. Finding traps and opening anything locked was handled by Aerie or Jaheira.
It was all about making sushi for Grub and almost being level 16 by the time we got here, I came to the conclusion the only way this game was going to be any sort of challenge
was bumping up the difficulty level.
The Underdark is next!
