As you exit the Old Shrine and head back into the rift you head southwest towards the soft glowing light to clear the area.
The rift widens the further south you go. As you walk you notice that the small, two-foot-diameter holes that riddle the node increase in frequency and the light grows stronger. Finally you reach the end of the rift which widens into a small cavern. There you find one of the holes emitting a fiery light...
Talien will move close to it and poke it with a dagger hilt. (Unless anyone objects)
As you poke your dagger blade into the hole a creature that looks like a cross between a rooster and a snake shoots out of it and snaps its long needle like teeth at you...
Bite Attack: 11 Damage: 4 piercing damage plus 1 fire damage
As it fully emerges from its hole, it attempts to whip you with its tail...
Tail Attack: 23 Damage: 7 piercing damage plus 5 fire damage
The creature snaps its jaws just short of Talien's face, but whips him with its tail as Talien jumps back in surprise. The creature lets out a screech revealing a long forked flame red tongue.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"What the devil is that?" Rees asks, drawing her bow and readying an attack.
(If Talien is considered engaged with the creature to trigger a sneak attack, then she'll fire now, otherwise, she'll hold the attack until someone's engaged because....extra damage lol)

Talien is engaged.. You fire your arrow and it strikes the serpent, but bounces off its hard glowing plated exterior.

What do you guys do?
Is it a flickering light, like a torch or campfire? Or is it a solid steady glow? How intense?

It’s a pulsating light. It starts off warm, grows more intense, flickers out.. then starts again.
Almost like a heart beat...

You do not detect anything magical.
