Jason looks at them, "looks like their throats were slit..." jason says as if it isn't the most obvious thing in the world.

hoody examines closer and sees that the slits resemble their own claws perfectly.

" another tabaxi or something more sinister ", hoody thinks to themself.

" Any way I should probably tell you about this person we're saving," Says jason

" Okay, go for it"

( Half elf? Another Tabaxi? Elf? Dwarf? )

(maybe a more exotic race like yuan ti pureblood)

( Tiefling maybe, a snake might be hard to put into a town setting )

"she is a teifling named Razerath. she went adventuring to look for some scroll thing, but was captured by a drow warlord. she specialized in cursing people (Warlock)"

" Wait cursing people? " hoody say whilst retracing their steps to the pond with the water snek

"well, cursing enemys i meant..." jason repleis

" But aren't all tieflings inherently evil? " Hoody asks now approaching the part of the road covered in drow corpses due to the actions of a god, " Why would you let such an evil into your group?"

“.........................”

" Oh hey, this is where the water snek was! "

"oh cool! a water snek! do you know how to kill them?"

"Like you would any other living thing..." Hoody starts to draw their sword.

(gtg 4 now)

2 hours later...

(?)

(in the story)

Anyway...

2 hours later...

" Are you sure there was a snek here hoody? " Says jason clearly anxious to go save his friend

" Fine don't come out! " Hoody shouts, " I'll go do something else then! "

as hoody turns around to leave, the snek apears out of the water

hoody says "this is the way" and leads the snek and human over somewhere else.
