Whitehill - 006

[spiral]

Initiative: Crom 1+2=3, Matrox 1+1+2(wading)=4, Snakes 6, Dalien 5+2=7, Goran 5+2+4(wading/deep)=11, Elthar 3+8=11, Shay 6+8+2(wading)=16

Crom beckons Matrox over to the rocky shore. The swamp parts before the mage as he wades through the mulch, still invisible. Flint and shingle crunch under his feet as he makes his way up to the edge of the pool. Turning to find a target for his spell, he sees no Snakes above the mulch, they are all beneath the surface at that time.

Two Giant Snakes rush from the swamp onto the shore to attack Crom and Elthar.

vs. Elthar, [dice=20], hit AC -1, miss.
vs. Crom, [dice=20], hit AC 3, miss.

A flat serpent's head rolls in the swamp near Goran, hiding itself again as quickly. Thrusting around in an attempt to strike something, Goran succeeds only in rocking the mulch up over his head and having to gulp some of it down with a choke.

Elthar goes to help Goran and heals his wounds with the light of his deity (8 points).

Shay heads towards the ruins, while Dalien scrambles up to the shore of the pool and dry land.

[dice=20](dead snake)
With Torden now in hand Crom easly slays the first snake to reach him.
[dice=20](very dead snake)
With a mighty roar he turns on the second beast...
[dice=4][dice=4](68 damage from the critical hit)
...there is a flash and the sound of distant thunder, and the snake is no more. A light rain settles over the swamp.[rand=298710059889403102257513086584828409378961738159357607651465731906]

Elthar follows up onto dry land as well, the last snake can come to us if it wants a beating.

also, wishing he'd brought a waterwalking spell. These boots were clean a few days ago :/

Goran keeps trudging hopeing to find dry land.

Shay is already bored with the snakes, the fighters were just too good at what they did. He heads deeper into the map, attempting to use his keen elven senses to hunt down some treasure, especially the treasure that the witch was talking about. He searches for signs of some good places where loot might be kept and sneakily makes his way there.


(Shay has Elven boots and elven cloak, so I think that's around 95 % Hide in Shadows and move silently)
Searching for loot, secret passages, and the like.

"Hmm," Dalien muses. "Still no hydra."

Having nothing better to do, the elf seeks out a tree to climb for a better view of the surrounding arrow. He figures a hydra ought to be visible from a little ways away, and barring that, the snakes seem to all be in the water. And, being an elf, climbing trees would probably have happened sooner or later regardless of Dalien's wishes.
