Devious serpent folk devoid of compassion, yuan-ti manipulate other creatures by arousing their doubts, evoking their fears, and elevating and crushing their hopes. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.
Karissa comes round and says in a weak whisper: "You may have stopped me, but I am nothing in the eyes of Sseth. The Avatar of Merrshaulk will rise and destroy all of you inferior humanoids!"
She grabs her dagger and attempts to stab herself, killing her unless someone wants to stop her hand with a Dexterity check.

Ok. The cultist is dead and Karissa is also unless someone decides to stabilize her with a DC 10 Wisdom medicine check.
The barkeep bursts out of his room in his nightclothes and shouts: "What in the name of Lathander is going on here!"
The sun is beginning to rise. The rain has stopped.
You have cultist infestation, that's what. You had one of those fork-tongued Serpent-folk and a pair 'o' cultists. Now we would rather like to know why a respectable tavern like this is harboring a cult, and I'm sure the town watch would like to know, too.
I don't try to stop her from knifing herself. I'll just pick up, clean, inspect and pocket away the dagger that she used.
"So I found these things from the rooms," as I place a vial of green liquid, two vials of venom, an explorer's pack, a sealed letter, and a ship pass to the jungle island of Chult on the table.
I will then pick up the sealed letter and inspect it from all angles. Is there anything written on it, how is it sealed? (Investigation (?): 12)
"There was also a cage full of dead snakes. What else did we find on their bodies?"
"They weren't dead when I found them, but they're dead now. As for the reasons for carrying around poisonous snakes, maybe they say it in this letter."
You now have four ship passes to Chult (one for each of you). The ship's name is The Mongoose. It will be leaving at 7 in the morning (its 5 a.m. now).
The sealed letter is sealed with the symbol of a snake forming a loop and biting its own tail. On the letter is written Karissa's name in green ink.
The barkeep convinces you that he knew nothing of the cult.
The two vials of venom should be treated each as a potion of poison. The green liquid in the third vial can be identified with an Intelligence nature check.

"Well, that's.. convenient.. I wonder who the fourth pass was for."
Do I have any clue on what the seal on the letter represents?
"I think we need to see what's in the letter, what do you think?" If nobody objects too strongly, I will cast Mage Hand, take the letter with it, move it away from me to a table some 20 feet away and try to open it with said mage hand.
The letter apparently was written by Karissa and she was going to send it to someone. It reads:
Lord Yaotal,
I have murdered the last of the Waterdeep nobles that knew the locations of our temples. I placed a viper in his bed as he slept. The Cult of the Cobra has passed on the information that the Serpent Lords of Anauroch are growing impatient of your prolonged studies of Sseth. He must be freed from his prison on the Day of Domination. My two comrades, myself, and the Chief Sage, Ssra Tauroch will arrive in Chult shortly.
Your servant - Karissa
Rat has no idea who the snake on the letter represents (probably some symbol that the yuan-ti like to use).
Note: The snake in Grigor took has regained consciousness.

"We have four passes and three bodies. As some Chief Sage is going to be on that boat as well, he or she would need to get the pass somehow. That must happen either here, on the way or at the boat. Does anyone know how far the harbor is and can recognize The Mongoose?"
I will glance out the window to see if by any chance someone looking like a Chief Sage is approaching. After that I will size up the cultists and the dead woman. Any chance at least one of them is of a tiny height, like 4 ft max?

Ok. It would be better if you mentioned that from now on, so we can keep track.
