(3.5) For Want of a Nail... (Red)

[In4Dimensions]

Snake can't tell that. They probably think he is some weird kind of snail. And have you seen my leg? By Heironeus, The damned thing bit right through my plate mail.

I did see that, but unfortunately, I have no psionic powers capable of healing it.

[Xenopax]

It's fine for now but I will need my doctor friend to see to it.

[Strigon]

The snake grappling Door seems to lose focus for a moment, as it hears the words he utters.
Before it has fully recovered, Fenrir's sword scores a hit across the back of its head, which glances off the snake's tough scales.
Mason stands ready to intervene, keeping a respectful distance from the heads of both the snakes, as Akkenos casts his spell, causing both animals to writhe about in pain, just as Guðleifur's orb hits the snake on the ground, causing it further harm.

Fenrir decides his attacks are not doing much damage. He walks up to the snake and attempts to grab it so the others can handle it. He makes sure to grab it by the head so it can't bite him.

The snake that had been trying to bite Door's foot keels over, at first appearing dead, but it eventually begins twitching slightly, suggesting it has merely been stunned. It does look gravely injured, however.
Meanwhile, the snake wrapped around Door - apparently not too clever - tries once again to bite him in the shoulder, burning itself on the acid shield.

The snake manages to bite Door this time, and - with a reverberating crunch, indents the plate on his shoulder, crushing it. For a human, a debilitating lifelong injury. For a warforged, something to buff out later.

That would be a grapple attempt, I believe.
For the record, that snake is currently stunned; it's easy to grapple right now, but it's just as helpless now as if it were held up by you.

Kela seeing the snakes attacking her comrades. lands on the ground near by and casts a conjure ice beast spell.

The ice centipede scuttles forward with a purpose, giving off a distinctive clink! sound with every step.
It lunges on the stunned viper, trying mercilessly to bite it as it lies helpless.

Unfortunately, even in its distressed state, the scales and hide prove too thick for the centipede, and it slips off the snake's body with each bite.


Obsidian, meanwhile, hurls another mindblade that bounces off the snake's tough scales. For a moment, it looked as though it would hit Door instead, but the snake's vicious attack put it right in the path of the blade.
As this happens, there's a distinctive pinging coming from his shoulder as Mason's readied ability heals him for four points.

A voice starts laughing from the trail. It's a little voice, which, as it turned out to be, was attached to a little charcoal skinned, red eyed impish halfling standing there just watching and laughing harder and harder at your peril. And then he cast a spell on himself before yelling "Get it!"

Then, he rushed forward at amazing speed. Three foot tall and faster than the big races. And he stabbed the snake groping the robot with a dagger.
He looked around and asked speaking so quickly you can bearly tell what he's saying, "The snake is the bad guy right? You didn't like sneak into it's home and eat it's babies or anything did you?... Or maybe their clerics of somebody nice and you magiced them into snakes!"

Watching the small warrior rushing into the fray, and deciding her ranged attacks aren't quite cutting it, Obsidian starts to move in with her sword. "Ashworms in desert are good meat. Today I eat greenworm meat!" She says to nobody in particular.

Spoiler: Action

Not sure if she can get close enough with 1 move action but if so, here's an attack roll (1d20+6)[16] for (2d8+4)[10] damage to whichever snake is closest. Consider that Gloves of Reach give an extra 5' reach by spending 1 pp (in case the fighting is just a smidge farther than 15')

Mason is getting annoyed because he's going to have to heal 'em all, but he can't do so as much as hit any of them...

Over the call of battle Fenris yells to mason "Don't worry my short friend. I can handle healing if you are tired. You can just go back and sit in the cart while we pummel giant snakes to death"

I hope Mason is picking up on my sarcasm. But I really could do the healing if you are out of spells at the moment

Aye, I cannot partake in such smashing should I value myself.
Earlier post was supposed to be OOC

[Strigon]

Obsidian charges (figuratively) toward the snake on the ground, and slashes ferociously at it from an almost supernatural distance away, thanks to her psionic abilities. She catches it on an area where it has had its scales burned away from previous damage, and hacks it clean through - an impressive feat, given that the snake's body is a solid mass of muscle and bone that's nearly the size of a manhole cover!

That leaves only the snake wrestling with Door to contest with.

Joe doesn't dare shoot into melee (in 3.5 edition anyway) so he switches to Rapier and Shocking Grasp. He tries to move into a flanking position and make a touch attack on the non-stunned snake.

[Clockyard]

Does it really look like I'm about to kill it?
The Door tries to keep the snake at bay with his shield.
He then emits a sound. It really does sound like a mad man howling, the bizarre moan of a person that long lost sanity.

The snake recoils from your voice as if struck, before Fenrir grabs it from behind, being pulled into the grapple.

The snake is roughly fifteen to twenty feet long; it's difficult to tell. If one were to use a word to describe its size, that word would be Huge

The snake easily pulls Fenrir in, but then Akkenos' spell takes hold, stunning it and harming it - it falls limp in your hands, but is clearly still alive.
It is just now when Greenleaf arrives, ready for battle, though he's heard Fenrir's cries to let him raise it. Guðleifur, too, heard this before he let loose his second spell, giving him time to reconsider.

[In4Dimensions]

That was exciting. Now, who are you people, and why were you fighting giant snakes?

[Xenopax]

Fenrir takes a second to recollect. "We were on a mission to the nearest village to speak with the baron! And then we saw these snakes and then we started fighting them. What about you?" While talking Fenrir grabs rope from one of his comrades and ties the snake up.

huge snake as a pet! Also if no one gives me rope I'll just use a bunch of vines.
