Initiative: Crom 1+2=3, Matrox 1+1=2, Snakes 6, Dalien 5+2+2(wading)=9, Goran 5+2+4(wading/deep)=11, Elthar 3+8+2(wading)=13
Crom's hammer is a blur as he dispatches two more serpents with a low grunt and a rippling of muscle. The mulch settles as the dead Snakes slide back to their stagnant inky home. Matrox readies a Magic Missile, waiting for a Snake to show itself.
Once again, the swamp explodes in a shower of fangs, forked tongues, and hissing mulchweed. Three of the party are assailed by Giant Snakes!
A Snake rears up before the rocky shore, ready to strike at Elthar, is pomellled by Matrox's Magic Missile, but is not deterred. [dice=20] = hit AC 3 - miss.
A serpent coils around Dalien as he wades towards the shore of the pool, biting and constricting as it does so. [dice=20] = hit AC 12 = miss.
Finally, a third serpent bites at Goran's lower half, gripping tightly in an attempt to get its fangs through the Dwarf's armour. [dice=20] = hit AC 4 - miss.

With the last of the Snakes exposed, you make short work of them. Between Crom's hammer, the brothers' arrows, and Goran and Elthar's crushing blows, the last of the beasts slide to their final resting place on the bottom of the swamp, and the disquiet of the flies and toads resumes once more.
Shay, you find no hidden loot or secret doors, but as you approach the ruins, leaving the others behind on the shore of the pool, a loud roar issues once more from the ivy-covered spiral staircase that leads underground there.
A bass rumbling comes from beneath the ground to the East, and the stairwell of the ruins is lit by a fiery glow. Another roar sounds, and you hear a large serpent growling, padding heavily up slippery stone stairs to meet you in battle.
Initiative and actions please. Everybody is on the shore of the rocky pool except Goran and Shay who should denote where they want to be on the map from the lower right - those two have persevered with the swamp and pushed on to surer footing - if not more questionable company![rand=72675126895518754448981389574786577589740247982858120714031264537]
