Return To The Ruins (Warlords Palace)

[silifi]

Sik joins Akhilleus, Xenos, and Drest in the attempt to form some kind of line, but making sure he can land a strike

[Monsieur Rose]

Kainaxarthos

Kain sets down the raft materials and readies his weapon. He keeps an eye on the south for more subterfuge.

Magda is relieved that only half the attackers seem to be real, but makes sure that she, Cyril, and the others are on the south (the safe side) of the line of skirmish. As tight as that is, there's likely no opportunity to fire missiles without risk to her allies.

She holds up her lantern to illuminate the battle.

Under The Zakath Desert
Oppressive Onslaught
Still No Idea On Time Or Day

In an intense showing of battle superiority, the party's frontline fighters completely decimate the charging Snakemen so badly that it causes all of those remaining to turn and flee. The skirmish becomes a total route from the beginning and without a single injury to the group, leaving three of their numbers laying dead on the floor.

With the way clear ahead, and the last few Snakemen fleeing behind you, it appears that these monsters are finally content to let you all leave without any more trouble, from them at least.

HA! I was just coming back to edit my post as follows − given that she took no other action:

Mindful of their use of an illusion (or Mirror Image spell), Magda looks to see if any of the snakemen are wearing garments or carrying items suggestive of spell casters.

This would now apply to the retreating creatures first, and the corpses after.

[Rex]

Drest

Drest keeps an eye on his sword to try and learn how far away the snake men are when it stops glowing.

Then he goes about his business searching the dead snake men.

[silifi]

"That's right, run, you filthy animals!" Sik shouts back at the fleeing Snakemen, before turning his attention to the raft supplies, moving them to the stairs and beginning to haul them up the giant steps.

[Karaunios]

Akhilleus

"Something tells me they've learnt their lesson." He cleans his bloody sword on the garments of one of the deceased snake men. He then proceeds to check their items. Maybe they're carrying some valuable or interesting equipment.

[shaidar]

Xenos

Xenos wipes his blade too and assists in searching the bodies.
