The crew harass the snakes, and one of then manages to invoke and throw an acid dart that wounds one of them. Al-Khazad moves around one of the masts and slashes with the scimitar, opening a wound in the monster´s head; it recoils in pain, and the sailor, only with the much tougher belly in his reach, can´t hut it more. The thing prepares to counterattack: it opens a terrific mouth and lunges forward, but then Shin´nairo, now of the size of a giant steps forward, and uses one of her knives with good results; huge drops of dark blood spray over the deck and are washed by a stream of salt water. The monster winces, and decides she´s a bigger snack. With nowhere to dodge, the snake´s head closes around her and picks the elf fighter from the deck. Horrified, Jagra shoots three points of magical energy, but they dissipate when the evil energies surrounding the monster nullifies the gnome´s magic. Then a loud cracking noise is heard, and the mast near Amira and Al-Khazad falls when the other snake crashes against it. It comes down with a trail of ropes, pulleys and wood, nearly squashing the two adventurers, but killing two of the crew members. Others are wounded, but continue fighting. Razeem, with a rope is his hands, is flown like a kite, but uses a moment of relative calm to fly to the other mast and sighs.[Well, forgot to mention Menghil´s lucky shot in the previous turn´s fluff, but you can imagine it. I also realized that I was using the killer die, the one that rolls an average of 16. Let´s see if this round is different now that I´m rolling another.Amira casts Enlarge Person, no problem. Menghil changes weaponsShin´nairo tries to advance despite the wind and is succesful, suffers an AoO that doesn´t hit, and attacks the beast once, rolling a 4 but hitting regardless. Damage is 6 (cold or fire resistance prevents energy damage)Razeem adds his bit of help (3 damage, can breathe again in 3 rounds)Al-Khazad moves 5 feet and slashes against the same serpent with the scimitar once, doing 10 damage. The dagger fails to do any damage (DR is /magic, not /silver)Jagra isn´t lucky with the spell resistance thing this time, and fails to damage the serpent again.The snakes attack. One chooses Shin´nairo, who can do little to avoid being bitten (14 damage) and is grappled by the thing (despite the –20 penalty to the serpent for only using the mouth to conduct the grapple, and the +4 bonus to Shin´nairo for being Large) The other continues to smash the mast; it creaks and falls; ad hoc Reflex save DC 15 to half damage for Al-Khazad and Amira (bot made, 9 damage for each one). Razeem has to look for another mast, but beats the wind and moves. The crew helps as they can, again damaging both creatures with lucky hits and some low-level spells.Status: Shin´nairo 56/70, Al´Khazad 60/69, Amira 36/45; spells in effect Bless, Shin´nairo Enlarge Person. Shin´nairo is grappled.]</blockquote>
