Qleceec

Qleceec will toss Nah Olos her 50 feet of silk rope when he waves for it.

climb walls 99

Height is 10-11' feet

Assuming that you are climbing on the side you happened to be on (south side)

Please add a 4d6 DEX check.

"I think it was the winged serpents who did this. They are quite dangerous. There is a side tunnel that will get you around like 12 to 15,000 feet back perhaps you can find it."

"Please, we mean no harm. Show yourself that we can be clearly seen. You have no need of fear, we are just travellers and heading that way "

Raffi (AC -1, HP 21/21, Armor 8/8)
Frannie (AC 4, HP 26/26)

Boff and Siouxsie continue to parlay with the person in the hall. Boff says "Oi and who be you? Thank you for yer warning just wondering who'd be warning folks, you a worker trying to fix this mess?" and Siouxsie says "Please, we mean no harm. Show yourself that we can be clearly seen. You have no need of fear, we are just travellers and heading that way." The voice from the hall replies back, "I am neither scared of you Prime deni, travelers on the Highway nor a worker. This is my home and I was trying to be polite, but it appears that no good deed goes unpunished as the pranksters, the flying serpents have heard you. I do not wish to deal with them any more today - enjoy."

Siouxsie is about to lose her infravision (until she re-adjusts her eyes) because of Hex's light. At this time she is having trouble seeing much of anything.

Nah Olos comes across the pit with no problem (the walls are rough and he is skilled at this).

But this is where it gets crazy.

1. Nah Olos gets off the wall and almost loses his balance into what feels like mud or perhaps quicksand. He immediately starts to sink quickly (2 inches per second, 1 foot per segment).
2. Boff, Qleceec and Nah Olos using their infravision can see three flying serpents at the end of the hall.
3. It sounds like the "voice" closes a (secret?) door hiding the corridor from view and ending the conversation for now.

Actions?

Qleceec

Qleceec readies her bow and will start shooting if the serpents try to attack Nah or cross the pit.

SC Bow [_2d20]=(7+13)=20 to hit [_2d6]=(5+2)=7 damage

2 Attacks.

Boff takes up his bow and fires at the incoming flying enemies.
Short Bow [1d20+3]=16+3=19 Damage [1d6]=2
Short Bow [1d20+3]=7+3=10 Damage [1d6]=5

Frannie casts bless on those not currently climbing.

"Right oh! " she says, adding a few expletives to the vanishing voice, still none the wiser to who the speaker actually is.

Snakes that fly? I only know of mystical Couatl types. She readies herself if these 'prankster snakes' want a conflict that she would rather avoid. She will uncover the Continual Light rock to get the best illumination for us and we can see what we are doing

Androgost has heard enough. To those in the rear guard with him, "I'm moving up to help. Someone keep an eye to our rear!"

Raffi will draw his sword as well, keeping Watch.

Hex will take out his wand in preparation. What’s happening up there? he calls. He will move up behind the cavalier, encouraging Raffi to follow them carefully, but keeping his eyes on the rear of the group

Garrant moves forward with Raffi and Hex.

Raffi (AC -1, HP 21/21, Armor 8/8)
Frannie (AC 4, HP 26/26)

Siouxsie pulls out her Continual Light rock and takes a few steps forward so that she (and many others can see the "flying serpents" in something other than Infravision.) All three of them are bright green, with feathered head and wings

Flying Serpent Nah Olos is stuck in a very thick mud and he manages using his immense upper body strength to stop himself from being pulled down in the mud, and he even then pulls himself out and is clinging to the southern wall.

Qleceec sling the silk rope over her shoulder and is ready to fire at the serpents, but they do not get close enough for her to think they are hostile yet. Boff has not such a worry and moves up next to Qleceec and fires two shots at extreme short range (50-55') and hits with one of them.

Androgost, Garrant and Hex move up behind the line. Raffi is watching the rear so that Frannie is not left all alone, but soon realizes that the two henchpersons are away from the group and in the dark (the edge of Hex's CL is about 5 feet towards the main group from Raffi). Frannie's spell affects Qleceec, Siouxsie, Androgost, Garrant and Hex, but not Boff because he has fired by that point.

The central serpent calls to the group, "Come swim in our mud-bath, we have hidden a treasure at the bottom."
The one on the southern side of the corridor, says, "Come on let us extend the bath, so that big batch of Primers can enjoy it!"
The three serpents start chanting and the three tails are moving in unison.

Actions?

Current Map Rolls

Qleceec

Qleceec targets the smallest one, or center if all about the same size.

SC Bow [1d20]=18 [1d20]=15 to hit [1d6]=3 [1d6]=2 damage

Raffi isn’t in the dark. He has his magical dagger out in his off hand. He will spot Frannie if she moves towards him and attack anything that closes upon her.

Hex will cast Paralyzation on the serpents.

Androgost surveys the field quickly and wishes the flying monsters were closer so he could sink his sword into them. He looks vainly for a way to cross the mud.

Yes
