Clayton turns to Snake Ghost, “Are they dangerous tools? Nod if yes.”

Bree

She walks up behind Clayton and Ghost Snake. "You should open that."

While she watches Clayton struggle with the crates and the boat, she sits and muses out loud. "I used to call you something else, didn't I? No, don't tell me! It'll come to me. Don't rock the boat so much, the crates will fall in." She exchanges an eye roll with Ghost Snake.

“I’m working on it. And yep, you did. It’ll come to you. Think of breakfast.”

Bree

"Slither said they were using worn down tools. They're probably just sharper ones. I wonder where they get them from," she glances down the river tunnel. Then she looks at the hovering yuan-ti apparition. "I have this strange urge to name this thing... I'm not sure why. We should call it Hessatal... no, Tinkles...I, what?" She looks thoroughly confused at herself.

“McWiggles?” Clayton offers while waiting for the snake ghost’s answer.

If you open the crates, they contain "newish" mining tools. Pickaxes, chisels, hammers, etc.

“Yeah, it’s just tools. Nothing special it seems.”

Bree

Leaving the tools, Bree returns up the west passageway to the rest of the party. "So, three snake men and their leader? Will they be of this variety," she toes one of the dead bodies, "Or a stronger sort like you all have described? If the latter, we must be prepared, and we must also ensure they do not sound an alarm or escape. Slither should cover the north exit, and someone should join him after we have engaged, Mal, you're fast, right? But..." she stops to think.

"Clayton, can we use, um... your ghost here to get the drop on them? Can it rise up behind the leader and surprise him, then with their backs turned, we rush the cavern?"

The yuan-ti in the Slave Grotto appear to look the same as the ones you just throttled.

OOC > They're all wearing short-sleeve button ups with ties and badges that says "Trainee" on them? :)

Yes lol

Slither has returned to the group and informed them of what he saw, "you mean me to wait by the north passage in the cavern they are digging in yes?" If so, slither will do so when the time comes. 

False life 8

Initiative (when needed) 13

Bree

"Yes, Slither, that is what I mean, we need to keep them from escaping and raising a cry. Mal will join you as soon as we make ourselves known. Clayton, what can your, um... guy, do?"

OOC > Holy &*!% that is some nice rolling, Darth. Also, good use of Guidance. I forget that spell exists, and is just a cantrip.

Bree's initiative, when we start: 6

So Slither is invisible in the northern part of the Slave Grotto. Nice rolling.

“Seems he can go though walls and leech life from the living. Should be handy! We thinking ambush? Blast the big guy first?”

Clayton Initiative: 6

Spooks: 6

Bree

"Yes, but Spooks must rise up from the floor behind the master, so that he turns his back on us, and the other three have their attention drawn there, so we may surprise them."

Mal initiative:26

You guys will have surprise, so make a plan, and execute. I'll roll initiative once the surprise round is over.
