Continued from Chapter XIII.

Cass leads you through the tunnels, moving with unerring certainty. Every now and then she sets off a trap, and a few arrows go flying harmlessly past her, or a swinging blade slashes through the air over her head. She never actually seems to move out of the way, though; she's just always where the trap isn't...

"We have a few choices for ambush site; we can use whichever one is best suited to your combat tactics. The first one," Cass pauses at a three way branch in the corridor, "Is here. It's a tightly coiled network of tunnels with only a single entrance and exit - which we would seal off once the serpents are in the middle of it."

One tentacle lazily points out a map of the region scratched into the floor. (OOC: this region of the tunnels resembles a pac-man style maze.)

Maya: "And the second?"

"A large room, roughly three hundred feet across. There are a few boulders and pillars in it, but for the most part it is free of obstructions."

"There are also, of course, a few long stretches of corridor where we could face off one against one."

Maye: "Considering our sizes and builds, as well as skirmish tactics, the larger room sounds best. Especially if we can seal it off."

Cass nods, and starts leading the way through the maze.

"Abernathy will be taking care of sealing off the exits. Ferim will be directly aiding you in combat - as will I, if I get the opportunity."

On the far side of the maze, you meet up with two more displacer beasts: Ferim and Abernathy. And it's not too long after that, that you come to the aforementioned cavern.

Cass simply makes her way to a hiding spot in one of the far corners of the room. Ferim picks a spot closer to the path, and Abernathy mutters a few arcane words and simply fades from view.

We all take up different spots on various sides of the room, positioning ourselves where the serpents will not have a chance to notice us with their super senses until they are fully within the confines of the room so that we may spring an ambush.

As soon as the serpents are in position and we've readied ourselves, we attack the same serpent in the back of their group as a team and springing away.

You, Fang, Fierce, and Ferim surround and rip into the last serpent in line. It drops to the ground, critically injured. As your pack dances away, two things happen at once: the entire room lights up with a faint green glow, and the passageway the serpents came in from simply closes up, the stone flowing together until there is no sign that there was ever a tunnel there at all.

Ferim stands his ground against the five remaining serpents, seemingly unconcerned about the possibility of retaliation.

Two of the serpents focus on Ferim, though whatever they're trying to do has no visible results. The other three wait for your pack to re-appear.

... and re-appear we do following a similar plan of action focusing on another near the back because that's where Ferim is located.
