GM qstor's Emerald Spire 7 & 8

Game Master Qstor

Well, on the previous turn, I had a ready action that I would move after the swarm of snakes moved. Since swarm didn't move, is the action probably lost? Then on this turn, I'll climb over the pool itself to get behind naga. So: double move.

Koani shoots her bow at the naga.
attack: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Blarg bites and tears at the monster.

The naga is still up and the druid and the dino miss.

She tries to cast.

Con: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Her displacement is back!

"Gurp!" Muddy exclaims in slight shock at the mass of slithering snakes. "Burn 'em! Burn the snakes!"

Muddy continues his attack on the humanoid snake creature, trying to get his arrows between Dumm and Blargh the dino.

Searching the room you find some masks in the pit with jewels on them.

where to next?"

Riltar casts detect magic and checks the entire room. "We should head back to the previous room before moving forward. I thought I saw a door in the west wall down there..."

Riltar waits for Muddy to check the hall and doors as usual; moved the party to the southwest room

Koani rushes over to Blarg and tells him what a good boy he is. Then she uses create water to lovingly wash the gore off of him.

"What are these jeweled masks for? Are magical?"
Muddy inquires as he holds one out to the group to inspect.

"What are these jeweled masks for? Are magical?"

Muddy inquires as he holds one out to the group to inspect.

The party thinks the masks are ceremonial and non-magical.

where to"

Through the door please

This room is an octagon with a middle section sunken down
a foot. In the center are a desk and chair surrounded by four
candelabras. To the west, the walls are lined with bookshelves.
To the north, a bed rests against the wall. To the east are two
basalt statues whose heads are wreathed in fire

A snake man at the desk rises.

"“You have
come here for one of two things: to join me in the adulation
of Kro’akoth the Awakener or to die. Which is it?"

"Neither!" Muddy replies with a finger in the air.

"Neither!" Muddy replies with a finger in the air.

"Kro’akoth has great power! What do you want outsiders?"

can we keep the game moving please? :)

What's going on there? Lilah does not see at all and does not hear well what is happening standing at the very end of the corridor, so she can only loudly ask those in front of her.

I think it's time to move on to violence.

can we keep the game moving please? :)

I don't see anything on the map GM Qstor...
