Phoenix, seeijgmthe snake focus on the slinging bullet, fires (badly) another.

Taking advantage of Snake #1's partly-injured, partly-groggy and partly-distracted state, Ox manages to get a firm grip on numb Korin's collar, and dr-a-a-gs him safely across the rivulet to the other side, to the spot where Norbold lies stuck in the mud, all while a misguided bullet from Phoenix whizzes past his right ear. The snake does not follow them across (yet, anyway)

Keeping an eye on the snake Phoenix rushes to help drag the dwarf up the slope with Ox

Using their combined strength, the drow-gnome duo this time manage to haul Korin up over the river bank without any mishaps. Korin shows no signs of coming to.

Below them, Norbold still lies stuck in the mud, placed between them and Snake #1, which continues to writhe precariously on the opposite river bank. (Norbold is nearer to Ox & Phoenix than to the snake).

"Quick, let us get the elf and then fire at that snake with missile weapons to try and kill it!" Phoenix says rushing back down the slope to grab the elf cleric.

Ox- Follows Pheonix grabs ahold of Norbold and carries him to Korbin then readies a spell. "Magic Missile" and fires at the snake eye.

Korin and Norbold are now safely up on dry land again (but still knocked out).
Having shown his brute strength and his proficiency in the art of combat, Ox then displays a lesser known side of his skills, by emitting a powerful enchanted projectile from his fingertips, that hits right home and finishes the beast off with a sizzling crackle. By doing so, our hero has thereby also possibly invented a new dish: Fried snake in mud.

Phoenix looks out at the fallen snake, eyes wide. "I should have guessed you knew some magic too. Well timed sir. Now what are we to do with these two. Is the dwarf still alive?"

With that the gnome kneels down to check for a life beat or breath escaping his mouth.

"Perhaps we should check the stomach of these giant reptiles for any treasure they might have inadvertently swallowed. he shrugs.

Korin displays clear signs of life: breathing and a pulse - if perhaps slightly fainter than usual.

"It's ALIVE!!" the gnome dances, rainbow robes billowing.

He makes the dwarf comfy before heading off with a dagger to gut some snake. He will retrieve his own thrown ones too whilst he is at it.

:D :D :D excellent


Apart from his thrown daggers, Phoenix finds nothing of value when slicing up the singed, stringy black mess that was once a big bad snake. Its poison glands were vaporised in the blast.

It's mid afternoon. The party (two comatose, two standing, with three horses) is roughly half way between Minn's Mound and Slowcroft, at the beginning of a valley, near a tiny creek, with no sign of life in the vicinity.

What next?

Phoenix shrugs and cleans off his daggers and resheathes them. "Shall we get these two back to town. Shall we tie them onto two of the horses and share the third?" the gnome asks, looking at his small size and the big beasts. If the half-elf agrees he will assist him to get the warrior-thief and the cleric onto the horses securely and then will hopefully get a boost into the final steeds seat.

As soon as Ox replies to Phoenix, I can move the game forward.

Ox- Helps load his comatose companions onto the horses. Do you know anything of this vemon. How long it lasts or if there is a antidote.



I am assuming there is a healer back in town?

A tough battle with two large poisonous snake encountered (and then provoked, by challenge-hungry Norbold) in the middle of nowhere, was perilously close to decimating our merry band of adventurers.
But seasoned Ox and energetic newcomer Phoenix both managed to hold fort, finish off the last snake, rescue Norbold & Korin and return them safely on horseback to Slowcroft.
Trusted Brynn, at the general store, was able to procure an antidote (which Ox paid for! Deduct 5 gp). So, after a good night's sleep, Korin and Norbold were back on their feet again (hp restored, but other stats still affected by the poison, as per separate PM).

Despite this close shave with death-by-reptile, the friends have not been deterred, and have once again set out on the same trail towards the still vaguely obscure target of Minn's Mound.

During the ride, they have been pondering over the information Brynn shared with them, that the paladin Melkior, briefly part of their group, quickly had to return home because he was about to become a father. And no, Brynn was not the mother.....

We find all four on horseback coming up roughly to the same place where yesterday's snake battle took place: at the beginning of a valley, with fairly dry land and a small trickle of water running through a larger riverbed that must have seen more water in the past.

"BEHOLD, the site of my deliverance. Ahhh there should be a monument, a plaque at least!" says the prestigidator flamboyantly. He smiles up at the others from the back of his Shetland pony.

"Where to now of valiant troupe?"

The gnome looks over the remains of the snake battle to see what if anything remains.

When scanning the former scene of the battle, Phoenix spots something by the river bank that glimmers slightly more than the now muted metallic shreds of ex-snake. Next to Snake #1, half-sunken in the mud, lies what looks like a throwing axe of the type dwarves sometimes use.
