Orvok kicks away the weapons, and gestures to one side of the room, away from the injured Yuan-ti. 'Have you go them covered Flynt, Isa?' he asks, before going to see to the other (friendly?) Yuan-ti.
"Yep," confirms Flynt as he levels his cross bow as the yuan-ti with one hand and tosses Orvok a rope with the other. "Let's make sure them others are unarmed as well. Don't want no snake in sheeps wool givin' us problems."
When you free the benevolent yuan-ti, they explain in very poor common that they are allies of the grippli who have been victimized by the evil yuan-ti that invaded the village recently. They know from their captors that two of their number have been hauled through the marsh northward to the location of a temple in the old village, where they are to be sacrificed to the evil deity Sseth sometime soon.
“Oh my god!! They’re going to sacrifice some of the grippli to their god?!” Isa declares in a horrified voice “We just have to do something to help! How far away is this old village and temple?” Isa is somewhat beside herself as she encourages the group to hurry “Come on guys, we gotta help them!”
Hino is pretty dumb, so it takes her a few moments to understand what the friendly yuan-ti were saying in broken common. She thinks real hard for a minute, until finally coming up with a question of her own: “Where are the grippli offspring eggs?”
"Whoa girl, take a breath. We're a gonna help 'em but we gotta be smart. Won't do none of us no good to go a rushin' in blind. We're gonna take this steady and make sure we do it right." Flynt says to Isa. Turning to the Yuan-ti he adds to Hino's question, "How soon this ritual s'posed to take place and what kind of opposition we talkin' about?"
Orvok makes sure the good Yuan-ti have the weapons from the bad Yuan-ti. 'Will you be safe enough now, while we go to rescue the other prisoners...?' he asks
"Thanks, pardner." replies Flynt to Babärs compliment. "Just good ol' horse sense I guess." He's about to protest Orvok giving the unproven Yuan-ti the weapons when an idea strikes him. "Perfect now we got 10 more to take back the temple. We can have 'em lead us up there. The fog should cover us enough that we can surprise any guards. What ya'll think?"
Isa can't believe what she's hearing...did Flynt just suggest that we use these poor kind Yuan-Ti as a meat-shield? "NO!" she says "That's a terrible idea. Why would we bring these poor Yuan-Ti with us to lead and fight? Are you suggesting that we use them as a... as a...." she can't hardly get the words out and she is visibly upset at the suggestion "As a meat-shield?!?! Look at them, they are in no condition to do any sort of fighting, It's best if they stay here and keep guard on these captured bad Yuan-Ti. Unless you ask and they are completely willing, I say NO!" She crosses her arms in a bit of a huff.

Mav smiles a big toothy smile at the other bad Yuan-Ti as he slowly draws his rapier out of the back of their friend.

'I said drop your weapons...' growls Orvok, gesturing with his axe as he heads towards the armed Yuan-ti still standing...
(Holding an attack if Orvok reaches them and they haven't dropped their weapons. Initiative if needed: 9)
The Yuan-ti do as you say and drop their scimitars.
Orvok kicks away the weapons, and gestures to one side of the room, away from the injured Yuan-ti. 'Have you go them covered Flynt, Isa?' he asks, before going to see to the other (friendly?) Yuan-ti.
'Is anyone badly hurt..?' he asks
Insight: 10 / Medicine: 10
"Yep," confirms Flynt as he levels his cross bow as the yuan-ti with one hand and tosses Orvok a rope with the other. "Let's make sure them others are unarmed as well. Don't want no snake in sheeps wool givin' us problems."

Barbubs allows his spell to dissipate, and pulls out his own rope to help tie the Yaun-tis hands together of the oppressive ones
Hino keeps her sword out, on guard, and starts to search the room for any grippli eggs (Perception: 8).
Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
Isa decides that Flynt has the other bad Yuan-Ti under control and decides to help Hino in the search

There's no eggs here.
When you free the benevolent yuan-ti, they explain in very poor common that they are allies of the grippli who have been victimized by the evil yuan-ti that invaded the village recently. They know from their captors that two of their number have been hauled through the marsh northward to the location of a temple in the old village, where they are to be sacrificed to the evil deity Sseth sometime soon.
Insight check to see if Flynt believes them: 19
"Where are the remaining grippli being held?" Flynt adds.

They seem legit. Take the river northeast, the good yuan-ti explain. There, you'll find the old village and the temple.
"Whoa girl, take a breath. We're a gonna help 'em but we gotta be smart. Won't do none of us no good to go a rushin' in blind. We're gonna take this steady and make sure we do it right."

Perhaps more Yaun-ti, id imagine. Also, Flynt, you have an uncanny ability to ask all the right questions. Did you receive any training for combat?
The good yuan ti have no idea. They've been captive too long to be aware of what's going on in more detail.
Orvok makes sure the good Yuan-ti have the weapons from the bad Yuan-ti. 'Will you be safe enough now, while we go to rescue the other prisoners...?' he asks
The good Yuan-ti nod, anxious and pleased to be among the free.
"Thanks, pardner." replies Flynt to Babärs compliment. "Just good ol' horse sense I guess." He's about to protest Orvok giving the unproven Yuan-ti the weapons when an idea strikes him. "Perfect now we got 10 more to take back the temple. We can have 'em lead us up there. The fog should cover us enough that we can surprise any guards. What ya'll think?"
