(Adventure) Of eggs and desires [GnomeWorks judging]

As the road bends slightly, Devlin moves behind the shadow of one of the few trees and dismounts his horse. He tells the others he has to check something and quickly slips into the long herbs on the side of the road. Rika moves to follow him but she can't see him anymore, he's already gone.
Dungannon:
[SBLOCK]Devlin moves with stealth toward the stranger. As he's getting closer, he sees that the stranger is a dark hair half-elf. This half-elf is armed with a short sword and a short bow, and wears a studded leather armor. He's riding a pretty slim horse carrying a few packs. The half-elf's eyes are fixed on Devlin's companions, further ahead on the road. As the rogue continues to move closer, he steps on a dry twig and freezes. It doesn't make that much noise but the stranger must have heard it since he turns his head in the general location of Devlin. The half-elf doesn't appear to have seen him, yet.
OOC: hide roll: 14+5=19 (apparently successful), move silently roll: 10+5-2(dry herbs)=13 (failure), Devlin is about 50 ft. from the half-elf.[/SBLOCK]
Others:
As the others wonder where Devlin could have gone to, Sturm's horse suddenly stands up on his hind legs, almost throwing its rider off [OOC: Sturm's ride check: 16 (success)]. The adventurers quickly see the source of its fright. A rather large snake is coiled on the road, near the horse's legs. It must have moved there while they were distracted by Devlin's sudden disappearance. It hisses, shows its fangs and seems about to strike!
OOC: The snake is ‘small’ sized.
Initiatives:
Ironwolf 22
Rika 19
Planus 7
Sturm 6

Planus leaps off his horse placing the reins in his teeth (dismount as free action, [dice] + 3 vs DC 15), but momentarily tangles his hands in the reins. He untangles himself (move eq action for failing dismount check) He then knocks an arrow, and fires at the snake.
OOC:
This assumes he can leap into a non-threatened square. I don't know if holding the reins in his teeth is a good idea, but neither does Planus so he decided to give it a try.
+4 to hit, 1d8+1 damage

Dropping the reins of the two horses (a free action), Ironwolf draws his falchion (a move action) and strikes at the snake (a standard action.) He will use his gathered mental energy to activate his psionic weapon feat.
attack d20+3
damage 2d4 + 2d6 + 4 damage.
[dice]
+3=16
attack d20+3
damage 2d4 + 2d6 + 4 damage.
[dice]

Reacting quickly, Ironwolf strikes first at the snake. His concentration and psychic awareness allow him to see the weak points of the animal. Unfortunately, the snake deftly moves out of the way and Ironwolf can’t shift his attack quickly enough. He only manages to touch it weakly with his falchion. Rika drops down from the back of her horse but she isn’t quick enough to attack it before it tries to bite Sturm’s horse. Happily, the horse successfully avoids the dripping fangs.
Like Rika, Planus dismounts his horse with some difficulty and draws his bow. He can’t manage to get a shot off just yet. [OOC: I don’t think Planus would be traveling with his bow in hand, so it’s a move action to draw it.]
Combat notes: Sturm is up. Rika and Ironwolf are flanking the snake; Planus is 10 ft. away from it.

[sblock]Fearing he's been noticed, Devlin slips off to the side of the path the half-elf appears to be taking toward him and quietly draws his rapier.[/sblock]
ooc: sorry for the infrequent posting, I've been travelling for the holiday the past week & a half and have had intermittent internet access.
