Yes, he's about forty feet away.

However he seems ... different; more elusive, faster, sneakier. His eyes glow with a yellowish tint as he ... hisses something in a strange language. The hiss penetrates the darkness and the sounds of the rain, is heard over the sounds of the swamp and the approaching monsters.
He holds his right hand up high, over his head palm open, fingers together and sligtly bent forward reminding absently ... a snake?

Those that cannot see him can only listen this strange, long, overeaching hiss that cuts through the swamp. It doesn't sound like Draxton, it doesn't sound as a human at all.
Then, before his "allies" recover from their shock and start pelting him too with spells, arrows or thrown daggers Draxton shouts/hisses to the humans with a voice that at least reminds Draxton's somewhat:
"SSSHHTOP! All of you."
The words seem unfamiliar somehow to Draxton's mouth.

EVENING WITH THE FRATERNITY

Your allies are more dangerous than your enemies.

Or

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

That's a question that Draxton can't reply yet. He was all so eager to jump in this new C00l power that he didn't stop to reason. As powerful wizards can be after looong years of study and practice, an easy way to power is always enticing.

And no, I'm not planning Draxton Serd to become the new Van Rijn.

QUESTION to Nathan: How does Draxton feel with the Serpent King inside him? Or the Serpent King is in control and Draxton just sidewayly lives in his body for the time? How does the Union feel? Cold I presume.

Hiro wants some answers apparently.

I'd like to push forward quite a bit in the next week, to get us back on (semi-) dry land.

So I may need to borrow control of Draxton and Gertrude briefly at certain points for purposes of plot exposition, if that's OK with you, alhoon and Pamela.

Fine by me! I don't want to hold up the story in any way, and it's usually harder for me to post on weekdays.

OK Nathan. I guess you have to do it and you won't harm Draxton.

Targeting someone for assassination takes 3 rounds Coan.

Sorry for that Coan, but if Hiro attacks Draxton, Dadrag will attack him. Dadrag is his bodyguard and despite he likes Hiro, he will not think twice before tossing 3 daggers against him.

We've already struck a bargain, singer.

Oh peachy, just what we need: another reason for the bard to start second-guessing himself and everything around him...

Way to go at making us paranoid, Nathan!

I just edited my last post to make it more clear that the Serpent-King is no longer controlling Draxton--for the present.

@Roti: Crow can always console himself with the ambiguity of the Serpent-King's "we"--if he really finds that consoling.

The price won't change, alhoon; the fact that Serd is enjoying himself is just a bonus. I don't suppose the Serpent-King would have chosen Serd if they didn't get along so well.

Nathan, how much wounded is Dadrag?

Dadrag has craft poison and herbalism, can he study the dart and figure out what poison have they used? And can you roll if he knows a herb that might help?

Dadrag has taken 6 points of damage, IIRC--a few scratches, essentially.

Craft Poison and Herbalism rolls

I'm afraid that's not enough to help much...Dadrag's opinion on the poison is that it's probably incapacitating rather than lethal, but he doesn't have any idea about the source of the poison or an antidote.

Hey, Nathan, any chance you could tell us what that thing in the water was, OOC, now that the fight's over? It seemed way too big for one of the Merrshaulki, and I'm curious.

Welcome, friends, to our establishment.
