Khalid retreats toward Linah before the creature has the opportunity to strike him again.
Wounded, the snakes gaze moves between Sajan and Grall before striking out at its most painful attacker. Again it is on target, its teeth penetrating into Grall's torso and ripping through his leather armour like paper.
hit Fort save please
Linah takes a step toward the retreating Khalid and gazes in horror at the back lines already spreading across his skin from the ugly bite wounds. She quickly sends a burst of healing magic into his body.
Grall tries to shake off the poison that he can feel coursing through his veins with a hearty growl:
As the snake begins to pump him with venom he looses it, he attacks with everything he has, biting and slashing at the monster, trying to ends its life before it can hurt anyone else!
Sajan quicksteps to flank with the beleagured Grall, and lashes out twice with a quick flurry with the Sentinels Fists.
Nuveril takes advantage of the space Khalid leaves by withdrawing, charging in to strike down the snake with her mighty hammer.
Grall, seemingly unaffected by posion, strikes at the snake with blade and teeth in a frenzy and while he drives the snake back it is just barely fast enough to avoid solid contact from the attacks.
The distraction does however allow Sajan an opportunity to step behind the snake and he punishes it with a series of mighty blows that leaves deep imprints of the sentinel's fist in its body. Very seriously wounded, the snake now seems more interested in flight.
Nuveril wades in, driving the creature back even further with wide swings of her hammer but she is unable to solidly connect.

Round 3, initiative 18
Linah catches Khalid as he staggers away from the beast. "Here Khalid. Lie down", she says and uses her backpack to try and create a makeshift pillow for the inquisitor. She conjure's water () to clean Khalid's wounds and tries desperetly to slow the poison's effects.
"Arjun, throw me your healer's kit", she calls out.

Arjun's shot is a miss falling short and to the right and splashing Grall with fire.
Snake reflex fail
The snake is splashed with fire and is clearly in dire trouble, ichor and blood dripping everywhere.
It withdraws, moving back into the building and you lose sight of it in the darkness.
It is heading straight back into the far corner of a large interior room. It appears to be trying to get as far away as possible.
Finish it and let us withdraw quickly- our skirmish may attract others...
Assuming that Grall can catch it with one move or if I can charge add +2 to this,
Undeterred by the darkness, Grall runs after the snake, which feebly tries to escape. Grall is in no mood for mercy however and cuts the snake in half with a single mighty sweep of his falchion.

The combat over, you strain your senses in an attempt to hear whether you've been noticed but none of you hear anything but your own deep breaths and Khalid's stifled groans.
Edit:
Sajan immediately finds a position in cover and attempts to keep himself out of sight while keeping an eye out for trouble.
Linah continues to do the best she can to treat the snake bite.

"Hmm, a virulent poison, indeed. Perhaps it would be of some use to us?" The Vudrani barber draws his silvered knife and approaches the enormous snake.

Nuveril watches Linah's feverish work over Khalid's bites dispassionately. "I have seen much smaller snakes kill full-grown men with their bite," she remarks, "but this one is a mighty warrior. If it is possible to withstand the poison, he might," she concludes with a shrug.

Grall emerges from the darkness panting. He is covered in blood, scales and flesh. You almost believe he bathed in the beast. As Arjun enters the building the scene is nothing less than grizzly. Pieces of the snake lie everywhere. There are even teeth and claw marks on it. It looks like the snake was killed by some wild beast...its takes you a little time to find the glands...
The group moves into the cover of the mostly intact building with the snake. While Linah and Khalid's magic have closed the inquisitor's wounds, Linah still works feverishly under the soft light of a spell placed on her scimitar to try and stem the poision already in Khalid's bloodstream. Shielding the light as best she can, she bandages his left arm tightly from shoulder to hand and proclaims that there is nothing else to be done at present. Khalid is left mobile, but his face is very pale and he is clearly very weakened.
Sajan meanwhile hides near the entrance in the cover of a partly collapsed roof section, eyes and ears open for danger.
Arjun examines the snake but Grall's rampage and its other battle wounds have left little intact. Extracting the little that is left would take perhaps ten minutes or so.

Just as Linah is finishing up her ministrations, you hear something from outside. It sounds like the flap of large wings moving east to west directly above the building you are in and then, oddly, from the same source, a low growl as if from a dog.
Your slightly closer to the entrance and catch a glimpse of a silhouette, a winged quadraped the rough size of a large horse with pointed somethings perched on its head. It flies past the building but then you lose sight of it.
You hear nothing but the beating of your own hearts.
Sajan returns, urging the group.
The flapping of wings... I spotted some kind of flying horse. I think its hunting us; we should leave, now!
Sajan returns, urging the group.

Do you fearrr it Sajan? I say let it come and togetherrr with Sarrrenrrrae's blessing we will dispatch this crrreaturrre as well! says the gore covered Gnoll...you do notice some of Gralls blood flowing freely from a large snake bit on his shoulder...
I fear for the safety of Khalid. Sajan says simply, although his eyes narrow several seconds later as his slow mind begins to process that Grall may have implied he was a coward.

"Stay down, Khalid. You are in no condition to fight", Linah says and moves to stand beside Grall. "We will deal with whatever comes", the cleric announces and lays her hand on Gralls shoulder to heal some of his wounds.
Sajan returns, urging the group.

Nuveril's eyes narrow. "Horses don't growl. It could be a gnoll with some kind of flying mount. Running across open ground with a flying thing chasing us is a dead fool's mission, especially as it can see us but we can't see it. Keep the snakebit one under cover. We will crouch down and either wait until it leaves ... or draw it down to the ground to find us." Her smile leaves little doubt as to which option she prefers.
For every two points of damage you take to a single ability, apply a -1 penalty to skills and statistics listed with the relevant ability. Constitution: Damage to your Constitution score causes you to take penalties on your Fortitude saving throws. In addition, multiply your total Hit Dice by this penalty and subtract that amount from your current ant total hit points.

If it can see in the dark like a Gnoll can, it is a very limited vision; unless it is already upon us, it will not spot us in the night. What do we gain by staying here; we came to scout, not do battle...
"We can retrieve potions to cure his affliction once we return to the monastery. For now, let us deal with whatever is currently stalking toward us." Arjun readies his crossbow and nods for the warriors to lead the party outside.
Sajan sighs in frustration, hammering a massive fist into his palm for emphasis.
You people not LISTEN. I saw flying horse beast, and it flew away. Its searching for us, but doesn't know where we are yet. It flew past building!

Grall peers out the door and looks around for good measure with his darkvision,
So we we leave orrr finish some morrre scouting? I don't see anything out therrre, it might have left...
"Then we must leave at once. We need to get Khalid back to the monastery so we can treat his wounds", Linah says. Before leaving she tries to soothe Gralls injuries.
Then she turns to Grall and Nuveril. "I fear that should someone come looking the snake will rouse suspicion on what might have done this. Can you do anything to cover our tracks? I do not want the gnolls to be able to track us back to the monastery"
Grall can see and hear nothing.
