Standing before the party are two suits of armor held together by the masses of snakes writhing within them. They heft their shields into place and ready their jagged swords to strike. Tobin’s Revenge is confident to return the aggression, at first. The skirmish begins, and the party quickly realizes that whatever they are facing receive their landed blows with less than expected effect. Even as Sariel calls lightning down upon one soloed against EKIM, the energy passes through without even phasing the creature. With thoughts of a possible retreat looming, Belgwyn finally hits with her mace and finds a…

Unable to pick a side, the party stood aside when the fighting broke out but attempted to utilize the…
