"These guys will be missed. Somebody or sumpin, will come looking for them. While they're lookin' they're only suspecting sumpin's wrong they ain't knowin'. Sometimes the difference between suspectin' and knowin' is the difference 'tween livin' 'n' dyin'. I'm jus tryin' to cover our tracks a bit. Won't fool 'em long but it might buy us some time." explains Flynt.

Isa shakes her head a bit as she really had no clue what the heck Flynt just said...that accent...talking in circles...she just didn't get it.  She waited patiently for the others to finish doing whatever they were doing to the dead Yuan-Ti.

That is a fair point. Do you think itd do us any good to stage it as a crab attack, near where we had fought before? It could explain away both sets of the dead at least.

"S'pose it might but prolly don't have time for none o' that anyway. We'll just give 'em a good once over, see what they can tell us, then stash 'em away and be off to that big hut like Isa said. 'Sides we'll prolly meet whoever is searchin' before they'd find 'em anyway but it never hurts ta be cautious." replies Flynt.  

The Yuan-ti carry nothing but shortbows and scimitars. The simple domes of the grippli’s residences and storage buildings are spread haphazardly around the marsh. Mud-brick with wicker roofs, they’re modest affairs, primitively decorated with giant crab claws. Most are empty and show signs of abandonment.

Hino leans over and whispers into Isa’s ear

She then snickers out loud and starts to sneak towards the river and to the Pond Mothers Home. 

Isa blurts out laughing at Hino's comment.

She decides to follow along behind Hino...but keeping an eye on Flynt (where ever the heck he is) as she is uncertain about his intentions.

Orvok looks around at the aftermath of the battle, then quickly scans the surrounding area in case he can see or hear any sign that another patrol has heard the fight and is coming this way...

Perception: 14

'I think we need to keep moving quickly now we've encountered the enemy. We don't want to give them time to regroup, lay in an ambush, or hurt any prisoners. Come on Flynt, stop messing with the bodies...'

Flynt finishes up just as Orvok suggests moving on. "Yup, let's git rollin'" he says as he falls in place at the end. "Lead on good dwarf."

No sign of any further patrols, no. Where to?

Mamma Grippli hut....across the river

This enormous building made of wood and mud bricks has been turned into what looks like a prison where yuan-ti are holding some of the followers of the Scaled Mother. The hemispherical building, 20 feet high and 50 feet in diameter, is by far the largest structure in the community.

In this building are ten wounded Yuan-ti who look friendly, being guarded by four yuan-ti who look mean.

Orvok steps into the room, looking equally mean. ‘Drop yer weapons, and maybe you’ll still be breathing by the end of the day…’ he snarls, channeling the righteous fury of his god…

Intimidation: 15 + 2

Hino steps in behind Orvok, and looking as intimidating as she can follows up with “Yeah, what he said!”

Insight: 18

Flynt attempts to use his keen observation skills to try and gauge the true nature of the "good" yuan-ti. Are they really good or do we have 10 more enemies to fight?

Isa steps out from behind Orvoke...she snaps her right fingers nonchalantly casting Prestidigitation and causing the Axe in Orvoks hands to start glowing an eerie blueish color "It would be best if you would listen to him" she says trying her best to also intimidate them.

Intimidation: 13

Barbar also steps up just enough to be seen brandishing his warhammer flaring with green energy, readying green flame for any aggressive actions

Mav appears behind one of the 'bad' Yuan-Ti and slips his rapier in to them

[43 piercing damage]

[Initiative: 22]

(Orvok possible advantage intimidation roll: 23 + 2)

As Mav murders one of the Yuan-ti, the other three bad ones startle, and freeze. The good yuan-ti look at you with hope.
