Svanna attacks with her greatsword, hoping to stop the menacing serpent.

The snake attacks Gyrthr's eidolon.
It somehow fails to sink its teeth into Wulfgran.
Round 2: Anaconda, Drago, Auric, Wulfgran, Toska, Gyrthr, Svanna, Sareash
"Ah, at least I still remember the base art of cutting." Toska muses as he continues to do just that agains the giant snake.
While held in the air, Drago focused. Picturing a bird in flight, he could feel the air currents around him begin to take his weight. Looking up at Sareash, "You can let me go now, I'm good."
Tapping into his inner reserve, things seemed to slow for a moment. Reaching into a belt pouch, the Dhampir pulled a magical bandage and slapped it on one of the fang bites he recently received. Immediately, the power of the Negative Plane coursed though his body.
While it didn't completely heal him, it did enough to get him back in the fight.
Auric, a bit more cautious now, hurls another stone at the snake.
However, his wounds do little to help the halfling's aim.
Wulfgran unleashes his full fury upon the snake.

The eidolon grabs a portion of the snake in its jaws, inhibiting its ability to dodge Wulfgran's attacks.
Between Toska and Wulfgran, they quickly put an end to the enormous beast.
"That was a bit troublesome," Gyrthr remarks.
Svanna goes to Auric and touches him with healing light.
"Thanks, Svanna," Auric says. "So what do we do about the crystal now? I mean, how do we deactivate it?"
Toska gently pats the giant snake once it's death thrashing ceases. "It was." he agrees with Gyrthr. "Is everyone okay for the most part?"
"Hopefully the flying man is good with dangerous magic items, if not what do you suggest Gyrthr?"
Gyrthr scratches his nose. "We'd have to learn what sort enchantment that crystal has and dispel it, if possible. Though I doubt we can. We should search out these servants of the dragon, instead."
Sareash lands next to Auric. "I agree with Gyrthr. This was not part of our mission."
"If we didn't deal with it, that whole fight would have been a waste of time," Auric chimes in.
"It had almost been a waste of time and life," Sareash says. "Forgive me, Auric, but we should press on."
Landing as well, Drago said "We'll deal with the crystal after dealing with the servants."
Taking out a wand, the Dhampir proceeded to heal himself.
"Okay, then," Auric says, looking up at Toska. "Think you can get us on the right path again?"
"I shall try my best," Toska replies, slightly confused about the detour they had found themselves on. He hopes they didn't kill that snake for no reason.
Svanna attempts to aid Toska in finding their way.

Between the two Midwives, they are able to pick up a set of footprints leading toward the heart of the island.
"Ah, thank you, Svanna. This way everyone." Toska says as he leads them to the heart of the island.
About ten minutes later, you spot a wooden watchtower.
”A watchtower. So therefore someone is supposed to be watching. I shall scout ahead a bit, unless anyone else here is the sneaky type?” Toska offers.
Svanna moves her hand back and forth to indicate to Toska that her ability to be stealthy is passable but not great.
"I think you'd do better than any of us with the sneaking," Auric says.
Focusing on a memory of his childhood, searching for something Chalandra told him not to look for, Drago dipped into his Mythic reserve to empower his magic.
After fading to nothingness, he said, "Give me a couple minutes to scout. I'll be back."
Silently, he flew to the tower to have a look.
Drago sees four figures around the watchtower, wearing black clothing and masks that cover their faces. On the back of their clothes, there is a green circle with a dragon's claw in the middle.
Drago heads back before his spell wears off.
Landing back with the group and says, "Four of them, completely covered and masked."
"You think we can take them?" Auric asks Toska.
"It's what we came here to do." Toska replies with a smile.

"Let's go introduce ourselves," Gyrthr says.
"Let's."
While still invisible, Drago said, "Give me a minute. When you get their attention, I'll strike. Please don't take too long though."
Casting another fly spell, he made his way up, ready to cast his next move.
"Would you prefer I try to sneak ahead as well or walk with you?" Toska asks Auric.

"The last time Drago did something by himself, he almost got eaten," Auric says. "Go on ahead and the rest of us will follow."
Toska nods before pulling the hood of his cloak up and heading off after the flaying man.
