Atol grips his cudgel and cheers his team onto victory against the snake. As he does so, he leans forward and gives the strength of St. Cuthbert to Glimmil!*
Round 2, Init 27
Toffitt is slightly singed, and feels lighter as the holy bloat of heroes' feast leaves his system. "Perhaps they're not around, because we've already enacted justice upon most of them. One can hope."
He enacts some more justice upon the crystal snake.

Dyrant 5' flaps to R26 and continues to cheer on Finn, adding the power of St. Cuthbert to the Smokin' Eye of Grumpitude.
Glimmil, with newfound strength surging through him, finds greater accuracy and greater impact as he thrusts his lance past Finneas at the crystal snake.
"Thanks Atol!"

"If you say so."
Finneas puts forth his own efforts at snake slaying.
Toffitt has a hard time damaging the snake this round, but Finneas manages a hit. Glimmil gets in a couple hits, each one more damaging than his single hit last round.
As the snake heals some more, it vibrates again rattling the bones of Finneas, Glimmil and Toffitt.
DC 19 FORT save for half
The snake glows brightly once more and sears more of Toffitt's flesh.

”Finish it Glimmil, you have the power to do so!”
Round 3, Init 17
Teeth chattering, Glimmil nods at Atol's suggestion and in a blurred flurry continues stab-stab-stabbing with his lance past the Finn-Finn-Finneas.

Toffitt's ablative armor sparks as the snake touches him. His wounds begin to heal as he snarks, "Truly, this snake sings worse than Finn."
"That's the spirit. Hiss, indeed."

Toffitt finally finds his rhythm and brings the snake's vibrations to an end and the party has a chance to take in the room beyond.
The walls of this secret vault are painted with murals depicting yuan-ti warriors in golden armor marching toward the end of the room. Some of the plaster has cracked and fallen away, revealing wet black walls underneath. Two thick pillars support the twenty-foot-high ceiling. Serpentine sconces built into the pillars hold flaming torches. Ancient looking yuan-ti bones are scattered about the floor around the sarcophagus.
Atal looks at the assembled and gauges their injuries. He decides to start off with a channel, and then passes the wand around, as well as his own healing.
Atal follows the others into the room, staying close by. He kicks a few of the old bones and wonders what might be in the crypt.
Dyrant smiles as Atol unleashes his divine spark. That the quiet man has done so for so long and so strongly belies the amount of faith that St. Cuthbert has in him.
"Atol, without your blessings, we would have died in the darkness under Cauldron many times over. Now, we carry our fight directly to our enemy so that we might cudgel them anew."
Dyrant flies to R18, examining the sarcophagus from up close.
Perception
"Seems like another trap, likely. Do we wish to explore his later?"
"could it be there is a vampire inside?" Toffitt flies to the sarcophagus and examines it.
Trapped. Definitely trapped. But who knows what might lurk inside.
Glimmil peels some of the plaster away, frowning at the black wall, before his attention is called to the trapped sarcophagus.
He rushes up, spoons clinking, and pauses.
"A vampire?"
Rubbing his chin, Glimmil attempts to sense evil within the tomb.
Glimmil senses... nothing.
Toffitt shrugs. "As you were saying, pay them with pain, then plunder. Shall we?" Toffitt flies onward in the maze of halls.
Dyrant waits on Glim, not willing to leave a companion behind.
Glimmil hesitates at the sarcophagus, but as the others seem to head off deeper into the lair, Glimmil tucks away his spoons and gives the sarcophagus one last parting glance.
I'm coming back to spoon you.
Glimmil makes a will save vs temptation and follows along to the pillared room.
To the northeast is another room filled with pillars. To the north of this is a room with two-foot-high niches in the east and west walls. A one-foot-tall gold statuette of a yuan-ti abomination stands in each niche. An eight-foot-diameter, semicircular stone basin emerges from the wall opposite the doorway, its sides carved with serpentine engravings. Water pours out of a stone snake's head carved above the basin, filing it.
To the east of the pillared room is a fifteen-foot-wide hall. The plaster wall murals have broken away in places, revealing slimy black stone beyond. Most of the murals show yuan-ti engaging in morbid rituals or hunting humans in the forest. One particular graphic mural along the western wall depicts a twenty-five-foot-long serpent with maroon scales, a pair of arms, and the vague shape of a human torso. In place of a head, six long serpents project from the top of its torso. Yuan-ti priests wearing black robes and golden masks genuflect before the horrid abomination. Wrapped in the creature's coils are several human sacrifices.
To the south of the pillared room is an empty room except for the serpentine wall murals, pieces of netting in the coroners, and iron hooks jutting from the ceiling.
Dyrant casts Detect Magic, flies to V17, and looks at the basin.
"We should cudgel these to dust!"
Perception
"I'm surprised this place has stood for so long as evil as it is. Weren't there heroes in the city before us? What were they doing with their time?!"
Atal advances with his cudgel, keeping up with the party and looking for trouble.
Toffitt smiles. "Besides eating scones and gardening all day?"
Glimmil pauses yet again, peeling away some of the mural and looking at the slimy black wall behind.
"Ugh. This reminds me of those demon-dandies we fought. Black and sticky."
Glimmil then pauses to take in the sight of the horrid many snake-headed abomination.
"Guys think we'll face that somewhere down below? The big thing with all the snake heads? Perhaps it's in hibernation and our entry here has woken it up for the first time in a millenia?"
Glimmil seems genuinely enthused to smite the many-snake-headed monster.
He then takes a look into the seemingly empty room.
"Anything in here, doc? You can use your batsenses, right?"
Dyrant does.
Mage Armor (he and Aralynn) (16 hours)
Delay Poison (16 hours)
Extended See Invisibility (320 minutes)
Extended Heroism (320 minutes)
Overland Flight (16 hours, 40' fly)
Moment of Prescience (16 hours)
Those with see invisibility will see a shimmering portal 4 feet wide and 8 feet high in the middle of the room with the basin. A quick detect magic later, Dyrant will identify it as the opening to a Mage's Magnificent Mansion.
Dyrant will describe what he sees and explain the possible implications as he sees them.
Dyrant glares at the shimmering with hands tightening on his cudgel.
"Is possible..." Dyrant trails off, thinking of options.
"How do we break down an invisible door to an invisible room? That must be where they're hiding right?"
How strong are they to cast that?
Toffitt sniffs with his several senses p, bat and otherwise, around the manse.
"What would happen if such a thing collapsed, Dyrant?"
Toffitt sees nothing else of note.
"We could wait them out I suppose, but then we're fighting on their terms, not ours."
From his frown, Atol clearly doesn't like that idea.
"Do we think they're all in there? I can try to dispel it. If we're ready for the onslaught."
Atol considers what spells he'd cast in preparation, then hopes he can actually dispel the door... What if we get all dressed up and cannot end it? What a waste...
"If we're ready for the onslaught."
Dyrant puts his hand on Atol's sleeve. "Allow me, please. Whomever cast this has quite a bit of power," Dyrant intones. "Prepare thy cudgel. We do not know what will come out..."
Dyrant waits until everyone is ready and steps back 35'
Caster lvl check -
"KNOCK! KNOCK! THE CAULDRON 5 KNOCK!" Dyrant crashes his AngelRelic to the floor as he finishes casting.
The fighters try to find space in the cramped room while Atol and Dyrant move out. Dyrant casts dispel magic and with a crackle of energy several more beings occupy the room. One of them, a fey wearing a dark cloak and fine bracers still holds an elegant sliver spoon dripping with a dark pudding. He's accompanied by a couple slimy demodands.

Dyrant grumbles at the slimies, really wanting to never see their kind again. Dyrant splits his angry stare between the two.
The two frog demodands are hindered in their attacks by Dyrant, while the fey drops his silver spoon and escapes the small room via dimension door. Atol sees him pop up in the entrance to the room to the south.
Unable to quickly reach the heathen Dryant, the demodands step up and attack Glimmil and Toffitt.

Finneas forgoes his Enlarge and steps up to swing at the demodand on Glimmil.
