[QUOTE="Brakkart, post: 3089085, member: 19617"] [b]DM's Log of Session Forty Seven[/b] Ducking in behind Chand, Kobra Khan viciously stabs the priest while he is distracted by fighting Rattlor. Grinning, Zamtap conjures a Wall of Stone and wraps it into a box around Sssqueeze, trapping the long-limbed snakeman within. After a moment spent considering his options, the encased yuan-ti starts summoning an Earth Mephit. Tung Lashor charges Jebodiah, but the dwarf ducks under the lash of the snakemans extrodinary whip-like tongue. As Chand turns to address the threat posed by Kobra Khan, so Rattlor slashes him twice, the priest stepping back and smashing his mace into Kobra. Aeron casts a Gedlee's Loop on Rattlor, shocking the big yuan-ti but failing to stun him, as across the plaza Snake Face gazes at Jebodiah, the dwarf just too slow this time and he is instantly turned to stone! As the brown bear claws Rattlor, so another appears to attack Snake Face, though its swipe misses. Masembe shapeshifts into Dire Ape form and advances towards Kobra Khan. Kobra turns and tries to run, but is bashed to the floor and knocked out by Chand as he does. Zamtap invokes a Cold Energy Vortex to wound Snake Face, Tung Lashor and the bear fighting them. An Earth Mephit appears inside Sssqueeze's stone prison, and turns one side of the box into clay, the snakeman, then punching his way free. As Tung Lashor moves towards the Temple doors to block the party's escape route, so Rattlor's giant scimitar cuts Chand down. Glaring at the obstacle in their way, Aeron blasts a Scintillating Sphere at the temple entrance, badly hurting Tung Lashor and wiping out the group of Ophidians standing guard there. Snake Face flees across the plaza from the nearby bear, as Masembe reaches the fallen chand and casts Cure Light Wounds to stabilise him.

[B][U]DM's Notes:[/U][/B] Not a bad fight all in all, though Tung and Sssqueeze were not as effective as I'd hoped. The scroll I placed deliberately as it stood to reason that the snakemen would carry some form of contingency in case one of them ever got caught in the effect of Snake Face's formidible gaze. Now all the group have to do is battle their way down through a snakeman infested temple/dungeon to get to that portal! [/QUOTE]
