((You can hate me for not enough timely description (and will be right), but the truth is the truth: the floor is strewn with rubble, so it is difficult terrain. I had to mention it before Ramious's run))
Ramious darted across the room hoping to cross it in one go - and realised the deed would not be possible: all the rubble on the floor allowed only so much as struggling through. He did approached the central pile of the rocks, though, and the beast there took it as expected - the warning was not heed, it was going to be a fight.
It became clear now too, why baboons were so terrified - the snake was huge, bigger than any you could imagine, yet alone see or heard of. It raised both heads - the monster indeed had two heads - and now was looking down at the tiefling, preparing to strike.
Action order: Ramious Bernard Alyssa Leon Snake
Baboons had left, Leon is at the door 50ft away from the snake, Alyssa and Bernard are inside with Ramious 20ft away from the snake. There is no way around the snake (probably above, but walls are crumbling), the ground is difficult terrain (half speed) for everyone.
In a calm and even voice he says in a hissing snake voice. "We did not come to fight you snake but if we are not allowed through, you will taste steel this day."
He will take ready his attacks and only fire from his bow if the snake takes aggressive behavior.
Bernard never met snakes like this but from all his experience, the animal is past the calming point. Besides, one really would need to practically charm it to pass by so close without provoking an attack.
Alyssa would watch the snake. Figuring it was worth a try, she’d begin singing her elven lullaby. Reaching out with her ringed hand, she’d blow some sand from her palm in the direction of the two headed beast. She hoped it’d sleep.
It did not look like the snake even noticed the attempt, huge reptile did not even blink but continued silently sway focusing all four eyes on Ramious.
And thus the fight fully begun! The darts struck the great reptile straight into an open mouth making the snake to close it for a moment and hiss particularly loud. It darted forward to Ramious and tried to bite the tiefling while second head: attempted to struck Leon:
vs Ramious: Attack: 15 Damage: 10
vs Leon: Attack: 8 Damage: 11
Both strikes missed and an enormous body hit the floor. Twice. Bernard loosed the arrow, adding some noise to the cacophony of the battle and the first rock fell from the unstable ceiling down, followed by many others.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bernard took the rock fall with a little grunt but didn't let it distract him overmuch. He nocked another arrow, lined up his shot and released and did so again.
Alyssa really needed to just take that spell off her list. She’d exhale a breath and start her walk over to the other side. As she’d make her way, the elf would consider to just keep going and not bother wasting her magic. But after another sigh, her own stubbornness said ‘one more try’. The elf’s blue eyes would search for a pair of the snakes’ before clouding over white. “Flee.” She’d command.
The axe was in his hand once again, and Ramious, leaping wide of the fangs and then batting a rock away from above takes a swipe at the creature.
Attack: 20 Damage: 26
(SUBTRACT 10 FROM THAT DAMAGE. TYPO. DON'T WANT TO MESS UP THE ROLLS BY TOUCHING IT.)
He's ready with his shield spell, hoping to deflect any blow from the snake that might hit, while moving away from Leon, trying to make it hard for the snake to strike them both.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The stone rain did not stop but was taking a break from time to time allowing to the party to land a hit.
Bernard would not miss the target of this size even if if shooting with his feet, but the falling rocks managed to get on the way of one arrow. The other one buried inside giant snake body, and made the monster jerk. It ignored Alyssa's command, but the sound distracted the snake enough for Ramious to strike true with his beloved axe. Leon was struggling through the rubble, swinging the sword more for the balance than to fight, yet he could not leave the snake's reach as of yet.
The monster attacked again:
(Rocks vs Snake: Attack: 15 Damage: 4 )
Snake continued its battle with both warriors:
vs Ramious: Attack: 19 Damage: 15
vs Leon: Attack: 14 Damage: 14
More missed strikes, more sound of the great body falling to the floor - and more rocks!
Ramious continues to circle the thing, hoping to pull its attention away from the others so they can make a clean break towards the door. Seeing rocks falling regardless, he doesn't bother trying to stay quiet, and begins adding magical thunder to his attacks.
Attack: 13 Damage: 14 + 2 thunder damage.

First Ramious' axe hacked off one head and then Bernard's arrows went through the eye of another. But thunderous sound of the mighty blow and the very loud thud of the headless body dropping to the floor accelerated the cave in. All you could do is run for your life from here.
It felt like an eternity - jumping and dodging and sometimes almost crawling over the biggest of the boulders, but you get there, to the big bronze double door, fortunately not locked and protected from being blocked by a low stone shelf above it. By the time you found where the door opens up, the shelf was already broken in a few places, but you managed to get on the other side. The noise, no, the roar of the now complete cave in stopped abruptly and you could finally look around.
Quite long straight empty corridor - you saw many like that already - ended up at the staircase, leading upward into the gloom. It seems as though you have found the entrance to another layer within the complex.
