The next day Alzar memorizes Fly instead Vampiric Touch. This will be the case until they arrive at their destination – it’s going to be vital.
About halfway through the day, they think they are at the place on the trail where they have to break off. Alzar casts Fly to verify it and flies up. The trail has begin to head back north and they need to go east and a bit south. There to the south is a ridge of rock called the Hinjaz. It’s a ridge of hills that’s about 130-150 miles away. North you can see some ruins, and the Oasis of the White Palm is out there, about 2-3 days march north. You can see various rock formations, a few ruins that may be too far away, and to the west is Ak’Radar. But what he wants to see is the Sunken City of Pezar and the Nairotan village, south of them, and they are there – about 2-3 day away. He flies back down and they continue on.
The rest of the day is relatively quiet, with nothing but bleached bones to mark their way.
They rest with the Hut spell, and then march one.
Around noon the next day, slithering coils and a sound can be heard from behind a small rock outcropping. Out from behind it slithers a large serpent, with a body about the length of three Alzars and thicker than one.
It lances over quickly and they move off the animals and create a screen around them. Acid Arrow for nothing – it’s immune to acid. It slides up and chomps on Alzar, but misses.
It wins init and does do again, and Alzar takes 7 damage and makes a poison save. Magic Missile for 5 and two hits for 7 damage.
Alzar - 44/51
Next turn they win first and carve into the snake skin, led by Pashtun who’s critical hit doles out a massive amount of damage-age. Dead snake. They gain 120 XP each.
They carve out some meat from it and use it for provisions.
The rest of the day passes uneventfully. The night as well.
