#Unfortunately he didn't actually get eaten or die so he's still alive. Rook is probably going to kill him the second he remembers he exists

Ended up accidentally quoting Inigo Montoya during today's session... I don't regret it at all.

Yes, this is the snake that kills you if you swear, so Rook swore at it a bunch on purpose to piss him off and draw his attention. Andrassi (the snake) had eaten Rook's dear friend Jay the night before, and Rook was um, more than a little mentally unstable going into this fight, plus extremely sleep-deprived. I was really happy with my improv here though. It felt badass.

Rook also ended up killing Andrassi himself, which was very fitting:

This was with a held action, too, so there's a giant snake's head barreling down on Rook, and he just stands his ground and sticks his entire fucking arm into the snake's mouth and just hopes he can kill it before it swallows him whole...

Honestly every single one of us was shocked that Rook didn't die this combat. And he honestly probably should have given that he got paralyzed via Hold Person, and took one auto-crit that took out 60 of his 63 max hp. Insanely, he never even went down. (Actually no one did?? We got SO lucky. Thank our cleric for a really clutch casting of Insect Plague, and some nice Mass Healing Words and a Mass Cure Wounds from the bard.)
