Redd thinks for a moment.
Oh! Here's something with sibilance. I'll even sing it...
♪♪♪ "Sam sold seven venomous serpents to Sally and Cyrus in Sothis." ♪♪♪
She sings very high pitched and emphasizes the "S"es.
Performance:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
She may have sang it too high pitched.
"Back in my clan, I was referred to as the Serpent." He unfurls his scourge. "Due to my stinging bite." He glares at the serpents. "If you are hungry I am sure we can locate you food."
Meadow makes a good point. The brown snake that expressed interest in the small ones with red fur on top says "Oh, you are right. Could you turn around, then come back sssso we could properly ambusssshhh you?"
Another success, 4 total.
"You are a ssstrange looking ssserpent. We are hungry, why not make one of the otherssss into food for usss? That would be much quicker!"
Failure.
Looks like Darlann has one attempt left. His best chance would be using Performance.

Meadow leans over and whispers to Krek.
"Oh that was good. It didn't seem to impress them but good job anyway."

"Good point Silence."
She leans towards Krek once more.
"Silence says it's probably for the best that you didn't mention being trained in the use of poisons. Snakes aren't poisonous. They're venomous. Mentioning poison might have agitated them.

Symeon leans in closer to Meadow and whispers, But aren't the ways that people use poisons more analogous with venom? I mean coating a weapon in a poison and then stabbing it into a wound is functionally the same as a snake fang, is it not?"

"Well that's technically true I suppose but the point was to impress the snakes. Maybe they wouldn't be as impressed by poison as they would venom. They might think that poison is cheating. That's what Silence thinks anyway."
"Depends how hungry they are. I would be ready since they don't seem too happy with an alternative." Krek tightens his grip on his scourge as the thick leather bands creak beneath his palm.
“You'd think that people would have had enough of silly snake songs
I look around me and I see it isn't so
Some people want to fill the world with silly snake songs
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again...”
Perform, Untrained:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Success, but unfortunately not the crit success you would have needed to avoid the combat.
The snakes banter back and forth between themselves, trying to decide if they should listen to their empty bellies or your words. They do like the idea of a world filled with snake songs, but in the end they decide to listen to their bellies.

Redd sees the snakes start slithering down the embankment. She sings a snake slaying song and emphasizes the "s"es to inspire her companions.

She then pulls her bow from over her shoulder and takes a shot at the closest snake.

Symeon gives a small thought to trying to shoot the snake attacking his friends right next to him as he recalls hat he can about them.

Finding the way blocked, he instead takes a step back and instead fires on the other snake, not having much else he can do from here.

Pythons are constrictors. They will bite an opponent, then wrap around them so that they can squeeze them to death. It should only be able to hold a medium or smaller creature -- not that this would help your group. Once they have someone wrapped in their coils, they can bite again!
Have Grab ability on attack, have Constrict ability when opponent is grabbed.
He then fires at the other talkative snake, Green."Ow! Fire that at someone else!"

I don't know why you gave me precision damage twice. I will be using the first of the two rolls.
Meadow fires off a barrage of arrows at the snake, only the second one hitting. The snake hisses in pain and looks badly injured.
Krek manages to intimidate the snake near him. It doesn't like it when he follows that up with a hit from his lash. The second strike misses.
Purple and Orange snakes crawl down from the cliff and get into the water to swim towards the group. Purple just barely manages to reach Krek and Eltris.
Blue snake evidently didn't like the arrow that Meadow sent it. It flees further up the cliff and slithers away. It is still just barely on the map, but it is clear that it is fleeing.

"If it comforts you, we have absolutely no plans of eating you once we're done," Darlann says to the red brown snake between swipes of his sword. "No interest in killing you either, so why don't you just flee and we'll be on our merry way?"
Two actions to Strike at the red snake. If the first attack is enough to finish it off, I will use my third action to stride before attacking the nearest snake.
With one snake down near him Krek points his scourge at the next one that advances. "You're next!" He growls and whips the purple snake's serpentine body.
Remorseless Lash- If target is frightened and the strike hits then they cannot reduce frightened condition below 1 until beginning of Krek's next turn.
Snagging Strike- If attack hits the target is Flat-footed until start of Krek's next turn or until no longer within reach.
The snake doesn't appear to be frightened by Krek's shout. After getting hit by the lash however, all it wants to do is get away.
Intimidation to Demoralize is at a -4 circumstance penalty if the target doesn't understand the language you are using. I checked and you do not have Intimidating Glare feat. I suspect it is on your list for future feats. :)

He narrows his eyes as he gets a good bead on the snake and decides to try seeing if he can't skim his arrow across the top of the snake and flay off some skin instead of killing outright.
Short end of the bow, Stratagem, IC, Non-lethal:18 + 7 + 1 - 2 = 24 Damage, Piercing, non-lethal:1d6 ⇒ 3 Strategic strike, non-lethal:1d6 ⇒ 1
He then looks back at everyone and asks, "Anyone hurt? I can try patching you up in just a second if you are!" Seeing no one bleeding or hurting he backs up a step and shoos at the snake in the snazy purple scarf to go away.
You continue your way along the valley and come across some Pathfinder Agents having their wounds tended.
“Oh, good, you’ve made it this far,” says Valais Durant, as she patches up an injured Pathfinder. “All still in one piece? Glad to hear it. I think some of the newer recruits could use more help. I just spotted a team heading that way to help with charting the course, but they looked like they barely knew how to hold a map."
"Could you give them a hand?”
You go to find them, catching up with them at a stream.
