Vi nods in agreement. "Let's go say hi." She grins and slips towards Area 7 on the path indicated by Lan.

AREA 7 is filled with interesting things.

One, you have a female evoker praying in the corner in front of a shrine.

Two, a massive blue worm like creature is in the water pool in the center, looking for intruders from the pool.

Finally, you have a big ass treasure room towards the north.

"If you guys want to get up close and personal with the big purple worm there, I can focus on the woman over to the left there..." Lanarial whispers. "Let me get a shot at her first, then you can do what you do best." 

If that plan is accepted:

“Well now, let’s hold on here. Lan, you get into position somewhere in the chamber to attack if things go south, but I would like to get some answers as well.” He turns to the rest of the group, “What do y’all think? This IS the same group that threw that lightning boar at us, after all.”

The drow nods and sets himself up in a dark nook, arrow drawn and aimed at the evoker!

Vi tilts her head. "It tends to be easier to get answers from prisoners than enemies. Unless you want to pretend to be cultists?"

Tex smirks, “At this stage, I’m hoping the cult leader just underestimates us, as per usual, and gives us the whole spiel. Then Lan can perforate her when they eventually attack us.”

It is very unlikely the water worm will let you pass freely as you look or worm your way to the area where the cult leader is, just fyi, seeing as its keeping an eye on the entrance to this area.

"They nearly killed you with that boar Tex! We should catch some of the cultists that don't have giant blue lizards defending them. I can turn into a monster and eat her. Then we can get someone who won't summon a boar on us to tell us something maybe." 

Nature check for knowing what those lizards are 8

You have no idea. Cuz it’s not a lizard(s)?. It’s a big worm.

Tex will give a smile, “Don’t worry! The leader always has the most knowledge of what’s going on, I’ll just call out to them and see what they know, THEN you can eat them. We’ll deal with the warm soon enough.”

Alright lets get this over with. The giant worm spots you all discussing a "plan" and lets out a roar, alerting the complex of intruders. It grows to an enormous length and combat begins.

Roll for initiative.

Bluey: 4

This is fine: 11

9 AHHH

Quote from Rhanloi >>

Init: 18

From his concealed spot, the rogue assassin lines up his shot at the woman in front of the shrine, aiming for the back of her neck.

Attack: 27 Damage: 20 (If target is surprised, a hit does critical damage, so add 12 =)

Your shot lets loose, aiming for the back of her neck, but before it sinks deep in, it ricochets against an invisible shield and gets deflected. She startles, the ritual disrupted, and in a round, prepares to join the fray.

Lanarial18, Kit11, Iri9, Tex7, Bluey6(AC20/HP200)

Iri calls out a call to the waters of her home. From the pool of water, a water elemental appears. It lashes out at the nearest worm, Attack: 11 Damage: 14 and Attack: 14 Damage: 9

Tex fires two bolts at the wurm:

bolt 1: Attack: 25 Damage: 12

bolt 2: Attack: 23 Damage: 11

Fern will stay close to Iri, offering protection from incoming attacks.

Vi goes for Bluey.

Attack: 26 Damage: 11

Attack: 28 Damage: 21
