Damn. Ok. Dash action, moving (swimming) to G28
Kadmos will work to get out of this water, and away from... whatever is in it.

As the snakes bit into him, Omeros used the last of his strength to appeal to the Fates for another chance but the Fates denied him. An so fell a brave warrior.

Chrion seeing Kadmos getting dunked springs into action quickly stowing his hammer and retrieving a long chain with a grapple attached.

"CATCH"
OOC:
Assuming the throw and catch are true, Chiron trots north pulling Kamos back on to dry land.

OOC:
If Kadmos wants to undo his turn, he can try an athletic check to climb with advantage because of Chironides. It would still require Kadmos to dash to get up, but He would probably have 10 or 15 feet of speed left when he gets to the top since Chironides is helping to pull the other end of the rope up. If Kadmos declines, Chironides can do something else assuming he asked Kadmos if he wanted help and kadmos verbally declined.
Jul 11, 2024 3:53 pm
OOC:
Sure, let's go for it. Kadmos can try to grab the line and get back up onto the platform that way.

Do we need an Athletics to catch it, or how should we do this?

DC 20 athletics check with advantage as you climb the wall. The water is poisonous but it is otherwise still water, not rough or flowing much. The check is purely for the climb.
Jul 11, 2024 5:13 pm
Grabbing the line and swimming over to the wall, Kadmos begins his ascent.

Despite how wet his boots are, and how smooth the walls are, Kadmos uses his upper body strength to pull on the chain and get to the top. Chironides throws him over as he gasps from the strain, and manages to land on his feet. Kadmos is back up, but Hythonia acts before Kadmos or Chironides can do anything else.

Hythonia
OOC:
It doesn't look like anyone has counterspell, so I'm going to continue assuming no one has it.
Hythonia scowls and points at the statues around you all. You notice that most of the statues are still whole, but a few of them have been to pieces. You start to see petrified hands and feet, and a head or two, start to float in the air. At Hythonia's whim, they swirll around and start to slam into each of you as she moves south even more.
OOC:
She is now a level lower, meaning you would need to be edge (row 29 or 30) to able to aim any attacks at her, or to go down the stairs.

Her action before she moved was to cast Animate Objects, targeting chunks of petrified victims. She commands them to "attack the people who are not her or her worshipers or sisters". There are 5 people not unconscious (including the ranger), so 2 attacks each.

Oops, I rolled damage without attacks, hehehe.

Results below:
Chironides: miss, miss
Kadmos: miss, hit for 8 damage
Isaiah: hit for 8 damage, miss
Kelnes: hit for 5 damage, miss
Ranger: hit for 5 damage, miss

@GreyWord,@valdattaMadun,@annex you are all up. Note: order isn't strict, so Omeros who I think is unconscious could go after Isaiah or Kelnes. If need be, the ranger could cast a lv 1 cure wounds.

Isaiah shake his head, his body language says he done with the queen. He summons another elemental - this time an air elemental in the air somewhere not far Hythonia and order that elemental to attack Hythonia no matter what. Elemental Hythonia from above and attack that we probably don't see.

Hythonia

As Hythonia takes the slams from the air elemental, she releases a high pitched screech that makes everyone cover their ears. She molts, as a snake does to shed its old skin, and slithers at blinding speed to the water to the west before diving underneath. Just before she makes it to the water, she yells, "Now, my most loyal servants, protect your queen!" As she says this, 3 grappling hooks appear and snake men the size of hythonia use them to crawl over the walls. The each hiss, and then in unison say, "You have harmed the queen. You will pay with your lives!" They all take out scimitars the size of a greatsword to each of you and begin their assault. The ranger yells, "She molted! If we kill her elite guard she will be forced to come out and face us in her most vulnerable but lethal state! These men can't turn you to stone!"
OOC:
Hythonia's Mythic trait has been triggered. She is swimming in the water below. The poison has become too thick to see her. The water is fairly deep, so the top is not moved as she swims. These 3 will take Hythonia's place in initiative, so @Basil,@MaJunior are up. Make sure to check the map.

Worshiper of Hythonia
OOC:
The elite worshipers is pushed 5 feet, putting him half over the edge and half still on the platform. I will give him a saving throw to see if he falls down. I'll make the DC based on your strength, which is what you made the attack with. Not sure if by the rules you fall if half of a large creature is over the edge or only if all of him is. I think a saving throw is a safe middle ground. Let the dice decide if he falls off.

Result: the enemy is moved, but manages to find his balance. If he were pushed again, he would fall. Since he was moved only 5 feet, he is still up on the platform.

Worshiper of Hythonia

The elite worshipers look for prey. Worshiper 1 sees Kadmos in his way and attempts to take him on. He misses with his tail but follow up

Worshiper 2, having not been engaged yet, seems Omeros and Kelnes as equal opportunities.

Worshiper 3 feels the hum of the thunder gauntlets drawing him towards Chironides, but he sees his starey cloak and is familiar enough with the gods and Nyx to know that means he is harder to hit. He is clearly covered in armor, so he looks for other options, knowing that he will find everyone hard to fight and thus Chironides is not worth attacking. He sees the druid and elects to go for him with his tail, as it can reach him.
OOC:
Since Hythonia is in the water and you know these guys aren't gorgons/medusa, I'm assuming everyone looked up at what the ranger said so no advantage from any of you looking down. When Hythonia returns, I'll ask who is willing to look down or not.

Summary:
WoH1: Misses with constrict and bite, crits with claws. Kadmos take 18 slashing damage (shield spell was not necessary, as 2 misses were not 20+ and hit was a nat20)
WoH2: Missed with Constrict and Bite, hits with Claws. Omeros takes 8 damage (absorbed by temp hp) and worshiper takes 25 cold damage.
WoH3: Missed with constrict (forgot disadvantage). Let's just say other attacks were against Chironides since only constrict had reach. 0 damage to anyone.
