"Y'ever see a cat playing with a mouse?" says Vencarlo. "I'll wager anything these potions are here just to keep us alive a bit longer so we can be played with some more. Assuming, that is, that they aren't poisoned as well. We're wasting time here." Mhairi examines the third and final chest...

Mhairi finds no hidden compartments in the chest, but there is an inner lining of lead, which is probably why Ignatius failed to detect magic (as with the other chest with the dubious substance on it). Now that the phials are out of the chest he can tell that all four of them radiate faint...

Nissa's magical fire brings the goblin down, leaving two goblins and two hobgoblins, squaring off against Ren and Mistral on the front line. Behind them, Nissa, Ethian and Javier. Goblin #4 taken down by Nissa's spell. Next up: Ethian Mistral

Underneath the snake is a padded inner protecting four small phials. The snake is resting right in top of them, so Mhairi steps back and nails it between the eyes with her hand crossbow. One dead snake.

Sorry about the delay, I've been away on holiday. Normal service will be resumed shortly!

OOC: True, in which case the sequence of events is: Manachan rushes in a punches the snake. Edmond casts hypnotic pattern. Snake is fascinated, Mhairi makes her save. Ignatius waits. Mhairi can act on her initiative.

"Ya reckon?" says Kraken, ducking back behind cover as well. "Least we know what that thing is though, eh?

The goblin catches Ren's warhammer with its scimitar, but the force of the blow makes it stagger backwards and breaks the struts of one of the bunks. Ren's attack misses. Initiative from everyone yet to roll, please. Nissa up again next for round 2 if no-one beats a 21

Copper Dann leads you through the jungle to a clearing. There are drops of drying blood on the ground, and Other Dann's knife. "It was a man-sized thing, with wings like a bat," says Copper Dann. "It swooped down and grabbed him, I think it carried him off in that direction." He points inland...

The goblin screams in shock as Nissa's flames fall around him, but more from fear that injury it would seem. Javier steps in a skewers the creature with his rapier whilst it is distracted. The remaining three goblins move forwards, leaping across the broken bedsteads, trying to attack one of the...

OOC: So you did; I got Ignatius' initiative of 19 confused with Manachan's. So Ignatius can act next. I'll leave the sequence as it is for now - it probably won't change a lot, to be honest; also my reading of the positioning is that Edmond was in the doorway, with Manachan, Ignatius and...

"I've... never seen a man punch a snake before," says Vencarlo with wry amusement. Manachan's strike hits the snake hard, snapping the creature back but also breaking the hold of the hypnotic pattern. It rears again and flares its hood, ready to strike. Mhairi can get in attack on it first...

Edmond reacts quickly to the snake's sudden appearance, and a burst of colurs appears in the room. The snake pauses, swaying as it watches the lights dancing before it. The spell affects 11 HD of creatures within a 10 ft. burst - the snake accounts for 2, so if Mhairi has 9 or fewer HD she...

Pipluk cock his head. "We came by land," he says. "If you cross the bridge at the end of the wharf, you'll find a tunnel. That leads to the badlands above Cahli, and from there you can get back to Stormhaven. It's risky, but since none of us owns a boat..." At that moment Nissa's shout of alert...

*She* opens the chest. Can't edit a typo without mullering the die roll!

Mhairi checks the chest. No sign of traps that she can see. Again the lock yields to her expertise and he opens the lid with the tip of her rapier. Snake in a box! A surprisingly large cobra rears up and darts towards her. [roll0]

And then Javier takes the initiative and opens the far door. The room beyond is very similar to the one where Pipluk and his men were found - formerly some kind of bunkroom given the broken bed frames and old mattresses that litter the room. The embers of a small fire give the room a dim red...
