Franklin opines, "Poison is a bad way to go... Maybe we should pop down to the 4th level and take a look? My old Gaffer had a saying about 'low hanging fruit.'"
My vote is let's postpone this encounter until we have a way to counteract the poison and/or a magic item that can defeat the scorpion(s) from a safe distance. Franklin has the party's best save vs. poison and even he is scared of the scorpion.
Franklin is at full-strength with a good supply of potions. He's itching to fight a worthy opponent and thinks going down a dungeon level would lead to higher stakes, but also greater rewards. If we did some careful scouting, located a tough opponent, and went into the battle fully buffed (for example Franklin and Rhod both drinking their Potions of Heroism) we could punch way above our weight class!
Looking at the party experience totals I think we should prioritize high-xp encounters. Also @kipper you just let us know when you want to level up Maloof. Franklin is always willing to accommodate that sort of thing.
