Tasloi (The Black Pits)

Tasloi are small, goblin-like creatures that, despite typically being jungle-dwellers from south Faerûn, can usually be found in various areas at the Sword Coast. These particular three will come out of some portal in The Black Pits.

Involvement
After killing three taverners – a patron, a bully and a bouncer –, they will face and attack the party and have to be defeated to become qualified for the "games".

Gameplay

 * The tasloi encountered in the Black Pits differ a little from the common Sword Coast variant:
 * Their THAC0 is "reduced" from 19 to 20.
 * Instead of a regular spear they use a creature attack item (appearing as a spear) with reduced range and reduced damage – only 1d2 instead of 1d6 –, though the damage type is slashing, rather than piercing, and the speed factor is improved from 6 to 0.
 * They have slightly improved AI scripts.
 * They have only half the hit points, 4 instead of 8.
 * They don't drop anything nor do they net experience.
