"Whats this?, That fool has sent more lambs to slaughter."
The serpent uncoiled, slightly annoyed at the interruption.
"That was my goal after all, to feast on those he hires to exterminate me, I grow weary of the game after all."
The naga freezes, flicks his forked tongue and tastes the air.
"Four..no five of them but one is an orc, foul tasting orc. If only the elves had as much meat on their bones."
Haliox silently slithers forward listening intently. Going through, in seconds, a myriad of strategies that optimizes his labyrinthine trap laden lair.
"Ha, guards indeed, they insult my intelligence. That was said too loud on purpose."
The ruse sends the reptile's blood cold with anger, he races forward.
"If I'm to catch them between the green slime and myself, I'll have to hurry. Almost there. Ahh!"
The serpent took a moment to marvel at its prowess. That was no short distance.
"I see only three, lets see if they see me, too far for my gaze, how about a...FIREBALL. What?..That's impossible. A spellslinger, funny he doesn't taste like a kobold, he'll have to be dealt with, especially if he intends to counterspell all of my spells. Awww! thunderstones, more annoyances! So, a little fire back, no matter. Yes, closer, who will be first to fall to my gaze, If I can charm the orc, he seems formidable, but the stump of a dwarf is particularly nimble and crafty, he's reaching for something else! The other two, there they are. A priest, little wonder my gaze isn't working, they are obviously under some sort of protection...FIREBALL. Ha ha, that one made it through, though the priest tried to stop it, I fear I didn't harm the elf though, another volley of arrows. Curses the dwarf and orc are too close. OOOOOAAAAHHH! The strength of the orc is impossible and the dwarf is inside my defense, a step back and...that hurt him. Magic missiles, no ducking those, More blasted arrows from that elf. They are everywhere and nowhere. OWW, cursed dwarf. Got to get away from the orc, missiles, arrows, I can't hear them coming, the priest!! Bite the dwarf, bite the dwarf, flee, flee, flee. Nooo, Haliox doesn't die this way, not this way...cursed dwarf.

As we can see the naga fell to the companions it was a hard fought battle and no one was with out casualties. We left off with the party hovering over a cache of items. Raising the question of entitlement vs. payment. Should be interesting! We also got reacquainted with counterspelling and dispelling as a counterspell. This is clearly what is possible when the proper questions are asked and preparations are made. Some worked, some did not! In any event...Well Played!!
