Combat! - Round 01a
You make your way in a line through the tight passageway, squeezing one by one through the constricted entrance and into the slightly wider tunnel beyond. The steam and heat in this tight area seem to push in on you, the hiss and pop of gasses making their way to the surface echo. As Arianna leads you to the end of the tunnel, those in a position to see note that it widens into another large room.
Tek/Arianna hear a subtle difference in the hissing; their gaze sharpens and they note a clutch of snakes clustered around the north end of the room. It's obvious the snakes have also become aware of the invaders to their den . . . they move quickly to defend their territory!
Two snakes actually get within striking distance before the Beast can react, startling the Eidolon/Summoner . . . they place a foot on a steam slicked rock and stagger slightly as the serpents lash out! While the slip slowed their reaction, it also saved them from painful bites; both snakestrikes miss their mark.
[sblock=Combat!]All opponents mutually aware - no surprise. Because of their position and the shape/size of the tunnel, Ellamin, Anaerion and Elenka are not in position to see what's going on or to be in combat this round. (Of course, that doesn't preclude them from shouting questions or taking other action to find out what's happening and why you've stopped so feel free to post those free actions where ever you will). I'll insert them into the initiative order as they become able to directly affect the combat.
[sblock=Arianna/Tek]Arianna identifies these creatures as Fire Snakes - not normally so aggressive as these, and not typically dangerous to a group of such seasoned adventurers. However, flukes have occurred; the snakes' bite carries a paralytic toxin, and being rendered helpless and covered with a swarm of 4 or 5 of the creatures would not be pleasant.[/sblock]
[/sblock]
[sblock=Map]
I'm trying something a little different this fight with the map - I've inserted a set of "local coordinates" around the current combat site. These will be easy to change if the fight strays outside the lines. The snakes are numbered on the map but the labels may be too small for the old blind folk (that'd be you, DeWar!) to see. If so, just refer to your target by coordinate.

Elenka and Drevezh'korol, summoner and wood man
"Snakes," rumbles Drevezh'korol. "A whole nest from the looks of it."
The wood man strikes at one of the snakes on the other side of Teq Oola trying his best not to knock the mermaid-demon off balance as he does so. His heavy fist pounds the snake. Acidic sap adheres to the scaly creature and fire from Drevezh'korol's fist briefly engulfs it.
If the snake dies Drevezh'korol moves forward to position himself to attack the next nearest snake. If it doesn't die Drevezh'korol will remain in the same place though anxious to push forward.
[sblock=OOC/Actions]Not sure exactly who he can reach. If Drev can reach #3 he'll attack it. If it counts as 15 ft. away he'll use a swift action to activate the longarm bracers and use a charge from that. Let me know if I need to use a charge. Thx.
Drev:
Standard: single slam attack against snake at F5 (#3): 1d20+16=22, 2d6+13=18, 1d6=1 (acid), 1d6=6 (fire). Note: Don't think there is a penalty for striking through an occupied hex but even if there is a -4 he would hit their AC 17.
If Snake #3 dies, then Drev will move to E6 provoking an AoO.

Drev's arm turns from it's usual dried brown to a living, sap-filled green as it stretches and bends around Arianna's form to pulverize the snake on the other side . . . it's quite thoroughly dead. As the wood-king slides around his comrade, the first snake attacks but mis-times its strike and smacks its into Drev's solid thigh, causing no damage and leaving the snake looking decidedly woozy. Two of the snakes farther back in the room move forward to swarm Drev, biting ferociously. Elenka's Eidolon feels the poison coursing through him, dragging at his arms and legs.

GE, I need two DC12 Fortitude saves for Drev, please. (He did have to use a charge from the Bracers).

"Fire snakes! Careful, their bite paralyzes!" Arianna drops her longspear and claws at the first snake in front of her. With two solid strikes, she tears through it, and moves forward on the next one. Reaching around the corner of the cave wall a bit, she lands a solid stomp that gashes the snake with her sharpened toenails. Her next stomp kicks the wall of the cavern instead of the snake.
[sblock=Actions]Swift: Arcane Strike
Free: drop longspear
Claw attack (1d20+9+1=19) hits, first claw damage (1d6+7+1d6=14)
second claw attack (1d20+9+1=24) hits, second claw damage (1d6+7+1d6=14)
5' step to E5 over dead snake number 1 to attack snake number 2
third claw attack (1d20+9+1=22) hits, third claw damage (1d6+7+1d6=17)
fourth claw attack (1d20+9+1=13) misses
The trailing d6 is electricity damage, which fire snakes are not likely immune to.
And I assume it is Drev, not Teq, that was bit and who is feeling some poison effects.
