Iodás leaves his halberd up top and borrows a one-handed sword from someone. After attaching it to his belt, he hands his crossbow and bolts to Luciana.
 

“Wish me luck, I got a feeling about this.”
 

He ties the free end of the rope around himself, and then begins the climb downward.

image.png.f5e4f593c1ad7723ab5884805b9e5d2d.pngIodás descends downwards until he gets to the surface of the water. Once down to the water he finds that it comes up to just above his waste. Below the surface is uneven with the collapsed boulders of what used to be a floor above.

He hears a rippling of the water and all of a sudden a 15 foot long snake snaps out of the water at the warlock. Although caught off guard, Iodás is able to dive under the surface and the snake bashes it's snout against the wall right behind where the warlock was.

The Scout eyes the short bow and crossbow of their newly endowed hirelings.
 
One of us needs to hold on to the rope. You two like to have at this one?
 
 
OOC

Tbh, their THAC0 is the same as Morrull's and each has +1 from their DEX. They're really not much less proficient: in fact, Zenobios is a Master at that xbow. Narratively speaking, it would be an opportunity to get them 'blooded.'

"Seadh, Caiptean!" Muireach steps to the right squeezing against the wall as he draws his short bow and releases a shaft.

The Amazon heads the scout and squeezes left, hefting his new crossbow built in the Ixian style of its crafter, the atilliator Iodás. He eyes the sights and takes aim, pulls the trigger and the quarrel flies.

Watching as the scene unfolded, the newly-unarmed paladin found herself merely at the edge staring down. She began shouting unhelpful, overly-obvious advice like not getting bitten or wrapped up. She did stay near Morrull in case he looked like he needed help with the rope.

If you run out of popcorn and want to join the fight, you can take the hammer or footman's pick, nodding to the weapons on his belt.

Luci tapped on her plate-mailed chest, using her mailed glove. "You want me to climb down there in this?" she asked, eyes wide, eyebrows raised but with a slight curl of a smile.

"You want me to climb down there in this?"
 
We could lower you down as one would do for transferring cattle or a horse ... umm ... er ... or a crate from aboard a merchant ship into a boat.
 
The scout struggles mightily to maintain a straight face having just likened the Chosen of Artemis to a ... er ... shipping crate.
 
Er ... how's Iodás doing by the way? You two are still shooting, right? A desperate attempt to change the subject.

Magnus Karlson, viking Cleric of Lunnaqua: Armor AC: 3/4 | HP: 18 (d8)

 

Magnus says, " i can handle the rope if you want to go down. You know there might be room to make a thrust attack with a spear too"

Magnus sheathes his sword and grabs the rope.

image.png.f5e4f593c1ad7723ab5884805b9e5d2d.png---------------------------------------------- Round One --------------------------------------------------

Iodás raises out of the water, borrowed sword at the ready. The python, grey spiral patterned can be seen now, splashes about for another strike at the warlock. It rears back and pounces, but once again crashes amongst the sunken boulders in its mad assault on the Ixian.

Up top, Luciana and Morrull banter back and forth, probably amused that yet another creature wants to take a bite out of Iodás. Magnus then joins Morrull securing the rope. It's quite tight in the ten foot wide space with four or five people crowding the ledge.

The two sailors attempt to squeeze as much as they can against the sides to rain down missile fire. Muireach unfortunately narrowly misses the warlock but Zenobios buries a bolt into the back of the snakes neck.

---------------------------------------------- End of Round One ----------------------------------------

Declare Round 2 actions. Snake is "prone" and mostly underwater, but not completely.

"Ah yes, but why is no one else attacking?" Muireach replies to Morrull before releasing two more shafts at the snake.

While making his shot, he squeezes a little too far, slips and falls off of the ledge.

Round 2:
 
While making his shot, he squeezes a little too far, slips and falls off of the ledge.
 
A bit far to be making a plunging attack, thought the Scout.
 
Cac! is what he expostulates!
 
Magnus sheathes his sword and grabs the rope.
 
The cleric now holding the rope, Morrull hastily arms his bow and (if he can) takes a shot at the snake.
 
 
OOC

I figure killing the snake would allow Iodas to go to the succor of Muireach --- likely faster than trying to climb down.

Oh, yeah. Dice bot gives Morrull the finger.
