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.
==Notes==
* As all encounters on the Sword Coast, these tasloi are male as well.
* In common lore, tasloi are regarded as their own race (see the linked article further below). As per game mechanics, however, Baldur's Gate's tasloi are handled as if they were kobolds.
** Technically this can be explained by both creatures using similar animation sequences; this also applies to xvarts.
