Do I see anything? spot - (1d20+7)[23]

[INWranger]

Spot check coming up. (1d20-1)[2].

[madtinker]

You enter the sewer from the alley, descending into darkness. With Keiji's torchstone and Clyde's light spell, you're able to see about 30 feet ahead of you in the narrow tunnel. Keiji, Clyde, and Gish point out to Wrensko a pile of bones and refuse. At the bottom of the pile you can just make out the glistening scaling hide of a huge snake.

Use this map for reference

[Manwhoisthisman]

I'll take a moment to whisper, "I would prefer not to wade into those bones. Wrensko and Clyde, can you take a moment to aim your spells and lure it out?"

[curf06]

I prepare to cast Produce Flame.

[INWranger]

Wrensko says Wait for my second spell if it doesn't attack. and casts blindness on the snake. DC 15 fortitude negates.

[madtinker]

fort - (1d20+8)[18] Vs DC 15. At the sound of Wrensko's voice, the snake rears up and writhes with internal struggle. After a moment the struggle is over, and the beast appears to finally notice the four of you.

Roll initiative.

Initiative
(1d20+1)[10]

[madtinker]

Forgot about the surprise round. Wrensko already took his turn, but everyone else was aware of the snake, so they can take a single standard action. Then the initiative order is:

Wrensko
Snake
Clyde
Keiji
Gish

[INWranger]

Wrensko gets tired of waiting and casts ray of enfeeblement on the snake. Not threatened, so no AOC. No saving throw.
ranged touch (1d20+7)[25] strength damage (1d6+2)[7]

[Manwhoisthisman]

Keiji would have simply taken up a defensive stance (-4 atk, +4 ac), but that's about it.

[madtinker]

Flames appear in Clyde's hand as he casts his prepared spell. Gish waits behind Keiji, gripping his drawn sword and shield.

Wrensko's second spell catches the snake squarely on its triangular head, making it hiss with pain. It promptly bolts down the passage to the right, and is quickly out of sight around the corner.

[Manwhoisthisman]

Clyde's turn presently.

Spoiler: After that

Show

I'll follow after the snake, trying to spot it after rounding the corner. I maintain my defensive stance. spot - (1d20+7)[21]

[curf06]

I move 20ft to the left (K36)

[madtinker]

Clyde rounds the corner, but is unable to spot the snake (has a standard action). Keiji moves into the darkness (only 1 move action) and also is unable to see anything. Keiji also has a standard action left.

[Manwhoisthisman]

I'll use my standard as a move to take out my light stone and set it floating.

[madtinker]

Unable to see past the light if his spell, Clyde stands in the sewer motionless.

Keiji, you are still unable to see anything but sewer.

Gish moves up behind Keiji.

Wrensko's turn.

[INWranger]

We need to track that down soon. That spell will only last for a few minutes. Get out my crossbow and press forward, but where I can still see in the light.

[madtinker]

Wrensko, you move up behind Clyde,but can't see around the corner.

Keiji, the snake does not reappear.

Clyde's turn, then Keiji.

[curf06]

I move up behind Gish

[Manwhoisthisman]

I'll head down the left fork and and keep looking for the snake. If I reach the dead end before I run out of double move (80 ft), I'll go back and check out the right fork.

[madtinker]

Keiji, you haven't reached the fork at the end of your double move and still cannot see the snake. Gish has to run to keep up.

Wrensko's turn.

[INWranger]

Watch the other fork to make sure it doesn't double back.

[madtinker]

Can you clarify your position on the map?

Clyde, then Keiji.

[curf06]

Try to keep up with everyone else.

[INWranger]

Based on the map I change my last turn to following the others.

[Manwhoisthisman]

continue my last course of action -- double move to get to the intersection and start down checking the left wing. If I'm reading the map correctly I should be able to make it to the intersection and 20 feet down the left corridor.
