BOOOAL

BOOOAL is a Redcap who is worshipped by the Kuo-toa of The Festering Cove as their God of Murder. The kuo-toa worship has enhanced his strength and made BOOOAL much stronger than is normal for a Redcap.

Notes

• BOOOAL can do a devastating amount of damage in one turn due to the 3 attacks from his Avatar of BOOOAL.
• After receiving BOOAL's blessing from sacrificing a party member, it is possible to kill BOOOAL as well as most of his followers and still retain the blessing. Knocking one Kuo-toa unconscious with non-lethal attacks will keep the blessing intact.
