Palisade seems to look up from his map for the first time as he hears the guards start causing a scene as they begin to about about Invaders. He will slowly begin to roll his map up before pushing himself up. He will return his things to his pack and make his way towards the door to see just what is going on.
Inititiative: 23
At the same time the crow on his shoulder will slowly begin to change shape until it takes its true form, flying next to the Warforged's shoulder. "Well what is it this time that dared to bother me?"

Kai downs the rest of his drink in a gulp and tosses the tankard behind him. "Better to die on your feet with your wits about you than sitting in your own coffin!"He says quickly towards the Goliath before bolting for the door. As he runs he tugs at the shoulders of his Cloak of Many Fashions, the deep blue cloak shifting to a rutty brown and tan like a potato sack. Or some other discard you might find in an alley way.
He does his best to blend with the others outside but looks for better cover immediately. Perception6Stealth13 His hand slipping to his side to get a better grip on a small hand crossbow semi-concealed there.
Olive is both relieved and frustrated. She doesn't particularly like being stared at, but being blatantly ignored by some other event being more interesting doesn't sit too well with her ego either.
She slowly looks at the tankard, then at the rushing people, then at the shouting worker, growls to herself and stands up. "Hold on... oh okay," as she sees them start to bar the door. "I mean I can stay if you want me to.." which promptly makes them let her leave at her own pace. She stops directly in the frame of the door though and says, "There is a bag under my bed. Please be so kind and send someone to get it for me. They can throw it at me from the window if that makes it easier. Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to stay a while longer."
Initiative: dead last, skip a round of combat it it's about to go down.
As the guard rushes in Kravek watches the server behind the bar walk out of the kitchen with Kravek's rack of owlbear ribs as Kravek's mouth begins to water at the sight of it. Then the server stops in her tracks at the guard calling out.
Kraveks eyes close as he releases a sigh. As he opens his eyes again he gets up to rush out to the streets to see what is going on already taking out his warhammer. When on the streets he takes his shield from his back and looks around to see where the treat is and if any commoners are trapped between the ones responding to the guards call and the treat.
Olive- dead last lose a turn do not pass go do not collect $200
you all start at the bottom of the map at the tavern. Largely theater of the mind. I’ll try and keep up with updating maps though. If anyone has a suggestion for a simple map maker on phones I’ll take it lol
Palisade will move to the front of the tavern and open the door to look out at the snakes. With a quick movement of his hands and a muttered arcane word he sends out a blast of arcane energy towards the lead snake. Once it begins flying through the air he will move to the side of the wall to not be in plain sight.
Eldritch Blast: Attack: 10 Damage: 114
(Ok that damage is weird. I put in a D10... Let me just reroll the damage.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rixton, back against the wall of a building across from the tavern, carefully notes the group that rushes towards the danger while everyone else hunkers down inside the tavern.
"Interesting," he mutters.
He pokes his head around the corner, focusing on the western snake immediately behind the lead snake. He watches it for a weakness, seeing it is favoring it's left eye with a head tilt. He aims for the right side to sneak past a possible blind spot. Insightful fighting check (contested by the snake's deception): 10
He whips around and fires a shot at the target. Short bow Attack: 22 Damage: 9 (+ 7 if insightful fighting is successful.)
His shot barely misses and Rixtonducks back against the wall again. "Blasted creatures," he says.
Song curses as she sprints to the corner opposite Rixton - they’re too far away for her really fun tricks. Stabbling out with her wand, she casts mind sliver on the nearest fire snake, driving an electric blue bolt of psychic pain into it’s brain before ducking back around the corner
(DC 13 Int save - if it fails, 5 damage and it has to subtract 2 from it’s next saving throw)
As Kai pushes his way out into the street, combat has already begun. He scans the area quickly while watching the few people in front of him begin unleashing magic and arrows at the serpents. After a moment he starts sprinting into the street along the right side, as if to run past the creatures. The 'Bard' suddenly skids to a stop as if changing his mind and turns back towards the cover the Sorcerer had just fired from. During the pivot he lets a subtle bolt fly under the cover of his cloak towards one of the serpents that had yet to engage. The whole effort meant to look clumsy and frantic, but the keen eyed might notice the attack for what it is. (Attempt to hide the crossbow shot)Sleight of Hand7
Kai gets just around the corner and behind the half-orc, "On second thought, I don't think I want to be anywhere near these things."He mutters as if to himself, "Hello friend! I'm sure you are much better at combat than myself. Help me get through this and Kai Kerrigan will make a ballad in your honor!"
(Attack on FS4 or 5, whichever seems closer: Attack: 25 Damage: 12
Kravek watches the snakes move forward even after the attacks of these strangers. As they are drawing the snakes attention Kravek notices they look to frail to be the brawler types.
He then places his feet apart a bit further steadying his stance speaking a few words in giant
Grant me your might Annam.(Annam All-Father is the deity and creator of the giants)
Kravek bashes his shield with his hammer as he says the words and with a roar spreads his arms to the side and grows even bigger then the goliath already was (using Giant Might to grow to large size).
Then rushes over to the lead/closest snake hoping his impressive size and display will attract the attention away from others.
When reaching the snake Kravek will use the momentum to swing his hammer like a golf swing at the creature.
Attack: 9 Damage: 12 (on hit Giant Might will add another 4 dmg)
Kravek's swing goes over top the snake, misjudging the distance to the ground after growing so large.
The last fire snake trailing behind moves forward.
All the snakes are now approximately within thirty feet. In the same formation as they started.
Kallak, Olive (theatrics if you wish), Palisade may all go in any order
Olive's belongings hit the ground hard from the window above. Her things scatter and roll around a little bit on the ground. The guard by the door doesn't wait for Olive to make it all the way outside before shutting the door. It actually hits Olive on the ass pushing her out a little. The guard starts locking the door and barricading it.
Olive sighs, glances at the scene before her, picks up her things calmly and puts them away, then leans against the building to watch. The display didn't seem to phase her, but she nods approvingly at the goliath growing larger.
Kallak hits the street running, and, seeing the fight starting up with what seem like odd little fire worms at the end of the street, she runs straight for them.
As she does, she glances back at Olive to see if the woman brought the tankard
She'll go 30 feet north, straight at the group of enemies and past the first one. It's at that point she realizes they aren't little worms, but now dangerous-looking fire snakes, and it might have been a bit hasty to run right in into them. It's been a while since her last fight. Looking up at the now-much-bigger goliath as she she darts past him, she tries to angle her run 15 feet away from him, and her hair starts to go even wilder, as a pulse of electric force builds within her, concentrating within her core, and then with one final step, it stops and all seems to go quiet for a microsecond. She looks to the sky with a smirk. Then the force erupts in a cacophonous wave of thunder, blasting the snakes and pushing some away from her.
(She cast thunderwave after getting to a point within where the group of fire snakes are now that would get as many snakes as possible and not get Kerak within a 15-foot cube centered on her, which from what I can see on the map means running past where the lead snake would be, angling a bit to the side to avoid getting Kerak. She also is using her channel divinity to maximize the thunder damage so instead of rolling 2d8, they take 16 points of thunder damage on a failed CON 13 save, or 8 points on a success... and the ones that failed are pushed 10 feet away from Kallak.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
fire snake con rolls: 6, 1, 1, 17, 14
Kallak rushes into the middle of the fray. The front fire snake snaps at him with a fiery fangs.
Bite attack at Kallak Attack: 15 Damage: 5 + 5 fire damage
Kallak then calls forth thunder and a boom ripples across the ground. The Fire Snake that snapped at Kallak, in its weakened state flies off so far that it extinguishes and slams into the window of the tavern. Another Snake is pushed 10 feet to the side.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Focusing once more, Palisade will make the same gestures as before. Pointing His hand out and in an Infernal language say the final word as he shoots out another blast of force aimed at the Fire Snake he had seen get hit the most.
As FS3 is pushed back from the thunderwave blast Palisade sees the opening and drills it with a powerful and accurate blast of energy. It is immediately extinguished.

The lead fire snake recoils in pain, hit so squarely from the blast it’s head snaps back so hard it is nearly pushed back.
it hisses in the direction of the blast and as it waggles it’s tongue Fire is flung off in every direction. It moves towards the tavern.
