Whatever you were doing … you’re not doing that now.
You suddenly find yourself in a room. The first things that you probably notice are the creatures looking at you menacingly. You see a couple of Yuan-Ti looking rather shocked to see you. The smaller one in back is seems to be yelling at the larger one.
There are also two of these creatures which you are unsure of what they are. The big Yuan-Ti hisses an order and they move in to attack.
A few other things you notice as you take in your surroundings. You are standing in the middle of a magical circle of power of some kind. It was glowing right when you arrived and is quickly fading away. It also looks like the big Yuan-Ti just dropped a big sword (and was looking at his hands and sword in pain and confusion). There are bookshelves along the North wall which are on fire. The South wall has a shelf with various objects/vials/potions/jars/etc. on it. Many have been smashed and the shelf unit is also on fire. There is a table in the room with a number of papers/scrolls/etc. on it and it too is on fire.
And with that, we have initiative…
Yuan-Ti –
Aberrations –
Vortek –
Lanwin –
Elysia –
E. –
Pinna –
Vassago –
Vassago quickly scans around the perimeter of the room to take note that there were five others aside from himself that appears to be contained in what seems to be a magic circle. However, he quickly gauged that the greater threat was beyond its barrier. With a gesture and an utterance, he casts a spell to which he was well intimated.

Can you tell I rarely play an arcane caster that has to fret with such trivialities? :)
Elysia squeaks with surprise. It's not every day you get plopped straight out of the bath into the middle of an adventure. She quickly cast mage armor on herself as the scary looking man stepped behind her and reached into her pack to pull out a wand.
The smaller Yuan-Ti casts a spell and points at Pinna...
(If hitting touch AC 18, take acid damage.)
The larger Yuan-Ti pulls out a couple of scimitars and moves to hit Vortic...
(If hits AC 22, take .)
Vortic growls out at the attempted hit, "You'll pay for that, Fork-Tongue!"
He hefts his sword, moving forward with a 5ft step, and lashes out with a full attack against the larger Yuan-ti. He uses heavy swings, power attacking with furious focus.
If attacks and/or hit then plus cold damage and and cold damage.
"WARK! Bad snake!"
Pinna jinks aside from the blob of acid and drops the rice bowl and soapy sponge. Noticing the big man is swinging a sword in the direction of the large Yuan-Ti, she nimbly ducks between the attackers to flank.
Acrobatics: vs DC (whatver CMD for each of the two Yuan-Ti +2; aberrations have not action so cannot take AoO):
Stunning fist (fort save DC only 16): for
Lanwin quickly recovers from his disoriented state and sizes up the situation, discerning who is friend and foe. He calls upon Lathander's favor to aid his makeshift allies.
** spoiler omitted **
Waiting on E., but...
Yes, it's +2 to hit flanking but I also get +1 to damage when flanking (dirty fighter). So damage is 9. Unless E. blows things out of the water. Which, knowing Taig, he might. :)

E. manages to sneak a crossbow bolt into the leg of the spellcaster while Pinna gets around the big guy and soundly smacks smacks him in ... the kidney?
These two strange creatures advance on the group swinging strange blades they have coming out of their arms...
vs. Lanwin...
If successful,
If successful,
vs. Vortic...
If successful, (Crit confirm? -- if successful
If successful,
Lanwin took 11 damage and Vortic took 13 damage. Ouch.
Here's the updated map and we're at the top of the round...
Vassago then Elysia...
Vassago moves to E-5 and casts orb of acid (lesser) on opponent in F-11.
This one's on the house. The next one may cost you, said icily.
Ranged Touch Attack:
If struck: damage.
"snakes can be interesting, you know, they have such lovely patterns on their scales, but I don't think these are very nice snakes, do you? oh, well,...."
She points her finger at the nearest snake creature (F8) and calls forth flame in the elemental language.
This one's on the house. The next one may cost you, said icily.
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 8
If struck: 4d8 damage.
She howls in rage. (That hurt.) She screams something to the big guy...

The big guy growls at his little wizard and moves toward Vassago. (Vortic and Pinna get attacks of opportunity if you want them.) And then he attempts to hit Vassago...
-- if hit
The wizard Yuan-Ti takes a five-foot-step back and casts a spell. (Nothing more visible happens...)
Vortic
Lanwin
E.
Pinna are up next...
"Bad snake, don't move!"
AoO: Pinna attempts to stop the big guy in his tracks with Stand Still.
CMB check:
AoO: for plus cold.
Vortic growls, "Quick things, aren't they?" He turns to his left and once again full attacks and power attacks with furious focus on the odd looking snake creature at I9. for plus cold and for plus cold.

There's a flurry of feathers and scales for everyone's amusement.
Lanwin steps back and attempts to command the giant yuan-ti to halt in the name of his deity.

Attack: d20 + 10 + 1
Damage: d6 + 1

So...
Lanwin told the big guy to stop ... but I don't think he even noticed.
E. was so focused on hitting the spellcaster that he forgot how close he was to the big guy and got to see, first hand, just how sharp scimitars can be.
But between the crossbow bolts, flaming rays and a flurry of feathers and claws, the wizard Yuan-Ti is down and quickly dying.
The two aberrations hardly seem to take notice of their companion's death and continue fighting whoever seems to be closest...
vs. E.
vs. Vortic
And we are back to the top of the round...
Vassago and Elysia...
With your odd scream, the big guy notices you and tries to hit you with an attack of opportunity --> 1d20 +11 and hits you for 1d8+6 points of damage."Aaaliiiielllllahhh wiiiihhh"

Vassago breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that the Yuan-Ti spellcaster was felled ... by an avian. The enclave sure has a sense of humor by placing her in this simulation. But something does not seem right. Gnik Tam did not mention anything of this sort occurring. Or I've been paired with a Thay with an odd sense of humor. But we will see who will best whom yet... he thought to himself. Seeing the scaly brute coming straight at him and witnessing its heavily dealt blows, he knew he had to take it down a notch.
And on that note, I'm headed off to sleep in minutes.
The halfling lass frowns. "Bad snakes!" she admonishes and brings her hands up in front of her once more speaking in the language of fire and flames shoot out from her hands at the creatures.
... and he looks significantly weaker...
SR -->
Big guy -->
Aberration -->
The brute's strength has diminished, but only momentarily. Coordinate your attacks. Fell him.
Looking for some security with his ... "assistants" ... he a little going the other direction.
vs. Pinna...
vs. Vortic...
Big miss there again...
Back to Vortic, Lanwin, E., and Pinna...
Vortic grimaces at the damage but takes a 5ft step to G7, then makes his attacks. Same set up as above: furious focus, power attack... except he utilizes cleave. His first attack targets the big Yuan-ti, his second attack targets the one at F7.
for plus cold against the big Yuan-Ti and for plus cold against the odd looking one. Vortic's AC drops by 2.
edit: roll to confrim for .
Vortic is certainly hitting soundly this round.
And with that, I'm about to go to bed...
Lanwin launches an attack on one of the weird things.

Lanwin soundly hits the freaky creature. It seems to react in pain, yet remains eerily quiet.

E. seems to be hitting well with his crossbow -- doing damage? Not so much. ;-)
