Two thick bodied snakes erupt out of the shrubbery to the side. They hiss and stand tall with their tongues dancing in the air. Their heads track sudden movement quickly as they assess the situation.
One of the massive creatures slides along the vine covered wall of the cliff side cautiously moving closer. It seems to move with purpose and intelligence. It stops along the wall where it turns, straightening itself to stands tall again then hisses out at the party.
The casting seems to rile the snakes up. The closest one lowers its head and charges forward hissing. Eku yells out, "Boosey get back!" She maintains her ground and fires an arrow into the side of the huge snake. Pulling a second arrow, she says to the party, "I think they are done watching if these are their spies."
Once Eku begins her attack Boosey pulls out his crossbow and attacks the same snake taking care to aim close to where the previous bolt entered its body. “Careful Allister. These things likely use poison”, he shouts to the fighter.
Both snakes slide forward, crushing vines and roots under their weight. The first of the pair strikes out at Eku and she jumps to the side to avoid the attack. Her movement isn't enough to get out of the snake's way though. The mouth bites down on her, fangs sinking deep. She cries out in pain as the snake retracts. The second snake slithers over to Allister far to fast for the fighter's liking. He prepares for the worst setting his feet, but at the very last moment, the thought occurs to him that even if he blocked the snake's attack, it would likely have the strength to break his arm. He rolls his body to the side, getting clipped by the side of the snake. The powerful strike has amazing strength to it, but the attack did little, but spin the warrior a bit faster.
"YES!" The dwarf yelled with glee. "Ye want a fight?! Let's see who be the best of snakes!"
Lemon began to transform, this time in an all to familiar snake: A giant constrictor. The bald headed snake reared its head towards the closet one and hissed. It moved forward quickly, wrapping around the other snake as soon as it could in hopes of grappling it (constrict).
The large serpent matches Lemon's speed as he tries to get a grip around the other snake. Aside from some skin contact, Lemon fails to get a firm grasp on anything substantial.
Using the distraction from Lemon´s attack Allister runs up to the snake. He stabs it twice with his rapier, but only manages to scores superficial wounds. His cutlass glances off the thick scales.
Caught among the chaos of the large snakes, Allister and Lemon fail to see a third opponent emerge from the bushes on the other side of where the snakes came in. The creature is obviously a yuan-ti as his head resembles that of a cobra snake while the rest of him appears human in every way. He rushes forward out of the bush calling out to Sthara in draconic on his way by. His scimitar works fast and Nenne quickly has to impose her shield to keep the creature at bay. With the cleric distracted, the yuan-ti bends low and bites Boosey on the shoulder. The bite itself is nearly as bad as the sting of venom the bard can feel surging into his body (5 piercing and 6 poison).
Sthara looks torn. Her spell that she was winding up fizzles out and her gaze falls from one combatant to the next. She shakes her head and backs into the tiny cavern with the statues.
Shrugging off the yuan-ti's blow, the cleric grasps her amulet as it starts to shine, and a similar crimson shimmer settles on herself, Allister, and the giant snake that is Lemon. (Bless)
Eku tries to get a good aim on the all-to-close creature, but the arrow finds its way between the snake's body as it adjusts to strike at Allister. The arrow thimps into the ground and the guide rolls away from the snake. The sudden movement has the snake's attention and, in a flash, the woman is bitten again. She cries out in pain as the fangs leave two more bloody holes in her chest.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The snake that was once a dwarf, notices the sight of the Yuan-ti and hisses in anger. It rears its head back once more to its other opponent snake, and decides to try once more to constrict it. It reaches out with its body in an attempt to coil around it, using a different tactic this time to coil around it from the other side.
Lemon manages to keep the snake in check as it strikes out over and over trying to return his attacks. The two entwine, becoming two masses of writhing muscle. Allister isn't so lucky to avoid the second snake this time, though he does save himself from the puncturing fangs. The beast pulls its head back and lances forward. Allister dives to the side, but the snake's nose hits him square (11 damage). Allister's breath is blasted from his chest as he finishes the roll to come back up to his feet. There's sure to be a bruise there later.
Boosey casts a familiar spell in hopes to get this snake headed man away from, but the magic seems to be less effective on one of his caliber. He hisses angrily at the gnome as the spell completes, but makes no move to flee. In fact, Boosey is sure that hiss was a bit of mockery, but he can't be sure if it. The creature looks slightly pained for the gnome's efforts.
Allister dances around the snake as it tries to postion for another strike. Its massive bulk is an easy target, this time his weapon find the cracks between its scales and draw blood along its neck.
The snake entangled with Lemon looks like it is only hanging on by a thread of life. Its wounds expose large amounts of its insides and Lemon can feel its weight heavy against him for support.
Out from the jungle behind the snakes, a tall white haired woman, covered in dirt and grime from the jungle rushes. Her eyes burning in a deep madness as she swipes at the snake near Lemon before turning and rushing at the other snake (moving to k10). Her second swing is just as devastating as she cuts into it. As you watch, you see her armor glows with an icy cold layer that hovers over her.

Allister draws his blades and prepares for combat

Boosey casts comprehend languages on himself to see if he can glean anything from the creatures hissing.
