As the naga passes by slithering, Oreana slashes its dark flesh, burning and tearing it apart.
Surrounded, Oreana isn't able to properly defend herself and feels the poison rushing through her veins while her blood rushes through her arm. Damn it! It is never trivial to fight being surrounded... this would never happen in the battlefield, side by side in a shield wall...
Oreana's will is still strong but she starts to fear if this assaults continues, how much time will she still be able to resist? Dark thoughts of doubt aside, Oreana slashes corrupted flesh with her flaming sword. After she is done, she tries to avert her eyes, hoping that her new companions would come to her rescue.
The naga's poison flows through the paladin and he feels his muscles locking up on him, as he senses paralysis grip his body and he cannot move!
...
Round 11:Bad guys' turn
Since it went so well for them the round before, the 3 nagas all 5' step and attack the warpriest, leaving the paralyzed paladin alone, but all of their attacks miss!
Elise's silence spell goes off on Oreanna's sword so 20' radius from it is silenced..
Since the group will obviously be departing to heal folks after this Elise will use her saved spell on one of the Naga's, the least injured one..
She casts Chains of Light(DC 23 Reflex). If it fails it is paralyzed and held in place. It gets a save each round to end the effect..
"Bask in Pelor's eternal sunshine!"

Siggut moved up last round (only moved up as a double move) and this is not reflected on the map.
I will ignore the map and make a full attack because I should be in the square above Kaydanna (which is now occupied by a Naga that should not be in my square).
"HURRR!!"
power attack, hero's feat, sacred sword, blessing of fervor for extra attack
Seeing Oreanna paralyzed and surrounded by foes we've lost too many good souls here already "ENOUGH "
Rav centers a Selective Fireball on Oreanna affecting ALL of the Nagas
Selective Maximized Fireball DC25 fire damage 75hp
The tunnel is rocked by a fiery explosion and the screams of the nagas as they are all incinerated in the blast, while the flames dance around the paralyzed form of the paladin!
"Nice job Rav! Now lets give a quick look over for items and get our stupored friends out of here!"
Casting detect magic and giving a once over on the piles of naga corpses..
responding to Elise's compliment "Thanks...but I couldn't have done a damn thing if you hadn't cured me of that cursed Feeblemind effect. Do we need to Teleport back to Magepoint? Or can you cure Oreanna and our blubbering warriors Siggut and Kaydanna?"
Rav joins Elise in detecting magic, looking for anything valuable.
After searching the corpses and when everyone is ready we'll Teleport back to Magepoint to find Siggut and Kaydanna nice padded rooms until they can be cured
You count 12 dead nagas. You do not detect any treasure, magical or otherwise, on the corpses. Perhaps, the nagas have a central lair among the tunnels...if you wish to continue searching.
Oreanna's paralysis wears off after a minute.
once Oreanna recovers "Oreanna, Elise...with a dozen of these Nagas here..Their nest has to be nearby. I think we should explore a bit in these tunnels and see it we can find it. At the first sign of trouble I'll Teleport us all out of here. I just don't want some wandering creature to come upon their nest now that it's unattended and take what we worked so hard to gain. Thoughts?"
"We are extremely gimped at the moment. I personally don't care to die over some treasure, but if you both wish to continue on I'll have no choice.."
She channels to heal any damage gone out as well..
Looking at the dwarf she sighs.. "I honestly think we should get out of here and get their minds right while we can. If there is a treasure lair, which there is no guarantee, I doubt anyone else will find it.. If they do it will be other baddies and there sure to store with there treasure so we will find it eventually after this den of evil is cleared out.."
Rav bows to Elise's superior Wisdom
"ok let's head back to Mage point... " and with that we Teleport back
-Posted with Wayfinder
Oreana finally releases her breath... even after years fighting for the Shield Lands, she never suffered from such condition before. "For the mighty Heironeous, that was..." She then notices the gibbering dwarf poking her. "... horrible..."
At the divergent opinions between the priestess and the mage, Oreana agrees with Ravarel but also understands Elise's point. "She is right... I should not be so eager to press when a retreat is more advantageous to the long battle..."
Before departing the moves to each naga, beheads it/her and carries their heads with her... once asked she simply replies. "This place reeks of undeath, right? If when we return here, they are raised as undead creatures, at least we'll not have to deal with their gaze again..."

You arrive on target back inside the obsidian wall and cast your buffs and make your way to the pit of doom. You descend back into the tunnels and find the corpses of the nagas, as you left them, the rotting smell thankfully for you, not drawing any predators. You follow the maze of tunnels and after 10 minutes, you find the naga nest. It consists of 2450 gp, 180 pp, gold armband, leather choker studded with rubies, MW heavy flail, +1 adamantine chain shirt, wand of barkskin (42 charges), and gloves of arrow snaring.
After you split up the treasure, only way to go is further down the pit.
Kaydanna casts Endure Elements on herself and then makes her way through the tunnels to the naga lair...she lets the others decide the best dividing of the treasure, and she stands guard by the pit while the others divide the loot.
Splitting up treasure in Discussion and proceeding down the pit.
Back in the center pit shaft, the party continues to descend for another 140’ (now a total of 240’ down), when you see an odd sight. At first, the floor itself seems writhe and twist in on itself, but a longer look reveals it to be covered with thousands and thousands of Kyuss worms of all sizes covering it. Ravarel can easily identify the masses as wormswarms. They inflict poison that drains intelligence. He also knows that some creatures of Kyuss have been said to heal damage from ingesting swarms of worms.

Rav passes along the info to the rest of the group. "Guess there's nowhere to go but down."
"Shouldn't we clear those worms out?"
@DL Can we avoid the wormswarms by flying over them? or do we need to blast our way through?
"I don't think we have enough firepower for all those.."
You descend further into the room. You realize that as long as you fly or Air Walk more than a foot off the ground, you do not have to worry about the worm swarms. However, the swarms do react to you and seem to follow you. If your magic is dispelled, however, or it ends...
From this large room, there are exits to the North, South, East and West.
Which way are you going?
