Given everything Liam has learned about his heritage, he's generally suspicious of ANY snakes. He's just extra suspicious now because the highly unlikely "survivor" with a lisp has apparently disappeared after seemingly leading Gregor and Crispy into a trap.
Nia, preparing her first actual use of the Fireball spell waited until enough of the snakes gathered withing a 20 foot space, far enough from Crispy, Gregor and the rest of the party that the flames wouldn't hit any of her friends.
Nia clicks her fingers. A small flame begins to emit from the tip of one, slowly growing larger in size until you hold it in your palm. Just as you do so, the snakes, all of them begin to glow green. They begin to writhe on the ground, growing in size. Limbs begin to sprout from them- arms, legs, the heads grow in size and they begin to stand up. Before you, you now see humanoid snake like beings, some with a human head and war paint covering their faces and flails of snakes as arms, others with humanoid bodies and cobra like heads. They are covered in scales, much like you’ve seen before- much like you’ve all seen before, on your friend, Liam.
Liam gets a sinking feeling in his gut as he watches the snakes begin to change shape. Realizing his suspicions were 100% correct, his thoughts start processing in rapid sequence, trying to determine the best course of action. From his studies with Master Stormheart, he knows that these types of yuan-ti are NOT a good sign, especially in these numbers. He also quickly realizes that this clearing is far too small to safely deploy the spell Nia is intending to use.
"Be ready for anything, but hold off on the spell for now," he says to Nia in common before stepping forward with his arms raised. When he next opens his mouth, a harsh, fiendish language emerges, one which Nia and Chubby would recognize as the same one spoken by the demonic ape.
"Peace! We seek no trouble here, only to recover our companions and leave."
Liam's WisST (with advantage because yuan-ti have magic resistance): 20
Shrugging off the magic laden words of the yuan-ti before him, Liam steps back ever so slightly to position himself between Nia and as many of the snakefolk as possible.
"No one will be tasting anyone," Liam replies sternly in Abyssal, glaring at the yuan-ti who spoke to Nia before turning his eyes back to the one who addressed him, "and who is this Ishassarraa that I should choose to serve him?"
Just a note, yuan-ti as a player race know Common, Draconic, and Abyssal, not Infernal.
Also, I REALLY hope that 20 is enough to save against the suggestion spell, otherwise I'm going to look like an idiot... >_<
Ha! Got eem! =P

That's what I get for helping others =P Now I owe Gregor 40 silver.
As I remember it, Gregor led Judas away who was tied up in rope! Perhaps this wasn’t Judas at all?
Anyway, what do you guys wanna do?

Nia's eyes flicked to Liam. "Your call, big bro. Do we talk or do I blast 'em?"
THIS is why Liam is suspicious of snakes!

Chubby stands there, looking quite menacing, but patiently waiting for the new beasties to respond to Liam.
Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
One humanoid snake like creature with a python head looks at you and says back- in infernal also to Liam:
You are not like the othersssss. Join us, lost soul and serve Ishassaraaaaaa
Another says to Chubby, in common:
"Join your friendssss let us take you in"
One more raises it's snake like arms and hisses to Nia:
"Come, let us taste youuu"
All three of you make wisdom saving throws plz as you feel yourselves almost giving into these words laced with magic.

You all manage to shrug off the urge to comply. As you do so and state your intentions, they begin to move in!
