Omeros nodded.
"Aye, brother. Once we get some idea what those glyphs are, I'm ready."

OOC:
Isaiah not an educated person. I pass on history check. Can do guidance though. If DM allows for this roll. 
Jun 15, 2024 12:14 pm
OOC:
guidance is fine to cast. It just needs to be declared before the role and it can't be for something that you wouldn't have time to give them guidance for suddenly. In this case, since someone will need to take a minute to study the symbols, there would be time to tap their shoulder before they finish. If it was a scenario where you heard a name and someone asked if they knew them, that would be too sudden to guide them unless you had done so before even hearing the name.

Kelnes cats Divine Sense as he looks down the hole.
OOC:

Kadmos has +8 history. I will roll for him, as he technically is not removed from the game yet.
Rolls
Kadmos: History + Guidance DC 20 - (1d20+8+1d4)
(9) + (3) + 8 = 20

Kadmos has heard of these symbols. They are magical in nature and used by some groups, mostly gorgons, to keep snakes from getting out of the pit, but also making them deadlier. These pits are used for people that the gorgons would rather see die a painful death than just turn to stone. These snakes are stronger than normal but can't get out.

"Yes, only the snakes."
OOC:
If you get too close, they will attack with greater speed and power than expected. Essentially, 3 attacks against the person at +9 to hit, each with 4d4+5 piercing damage on a hit and a DC 17 Con save for 4d6 poison or half on successJun 15, 2024 10:56 pm
"We go in, brother," Omeros affirmed as he got on the centaur's back. "I will tell you when I'm in range."
OOC:
Once we get within 30 feet, Omeros will give the signal to halt then use his Mage Hand to grab the bottle.Jun 15, 2024 11:24 pm
As the mage hand grabs the bottle, the hand appears to be stiff and the bones don't want to let go just yet. As the hand tugs on the bottle and move the hand, the snakes appear to mistake this this as something alive moving and swarm the hand and bottle as if someone had fallen in. Just as the skeletal hand lets go, the snakes surround the bottle so much that the mage hand cannot produce enough force to rip it away from them.
OOC:
you are safe, but you will need something with stronger force than the 10 on the mage hand can produce to get the bottle away from the snakes that are squeezing it.Jun 15, 2024 11:36 pm
"Let it go," Omeros grumbled as his annoyance manifested as three force blasts at the snakes slithering over the bottle.
OOC:
Perhaps not the best idea but let's try a bit of pest extermination to see if I can loosen their hold and grab the bottle.Rolls
Eldritch Blast attack, force damage - (1d20+11, 1d10+5)
1d20+11 : (2) + 11 = 13

Crit! - (1d10)

"Lets see if I can provide a little discouragement "
Chiron let’s loose a volley of eldritch energy into the snakes around the bottle.

The snakes seem to only get angrier and angrier with each blast that hits. some are even lunging into the air as if to bite into the ankle of a person that is not there. It seems like there are dozens upon dozens of snakes here, and their eyes begin to glow red with fury.
OOC:
It's like shooting fish in a barrel, but you aren't sure how many there are. for all you know, it could take an hour to kill this may snakes. For all you know, there could be more being created at the bottom. There are so many you can't see the ground under them.Jun 15, 2024 11:59 pm
"Up, brother. Let's not risk them rising up like the tide against us. Whatever is in that bottle will continue to rest with its owner."
Jun 16, 2024 12:08 am
Chiron makes his way out of the pit. "Too many in there to kill quickly and not damage the bottle. Unless you have some other way let’s move on"
Jun 16, 2024 1:29 am
At this point, it seems the only way to get the bottle would be to reach for it with your own hand and hope your armor.protects you and use some kind of magic that can grab an object with more force or teleport an object. The snakes are not "carrying" the bottle, but they are constricting it.

"Let's search the other passage," Omeros suggested. He would share the lead with whichever companion chose to stand by his side.
