After a plaintive look back at Xarithe, Sira grudgingly drops the broken but tasty body of a cultist and launches into a desultory attack of the one that had injured her companion; reveling in the triumph of having knocked over an invader, the human doesn't even see the mouth closing over his chest and doesn't have time to scream before he's drawn into the serpent's coils with all of Sira's bulk crushing the air out of him. Xarithe and Eiyre head through the resultant gap- one, admittedly, more<span style="font-style: italic">chipper</span>than the other as she skips over a man's broken body- but they both end up near Albali's gnomes. They seem at a loss to answer the question, but Albali is fully aware of which one is the 'pretty' one; the one nearest her, familiar and just aching to join his departed sister in the witch's "pot".<br/><br/>Pinned in the corner, Gorun defies the two feline guards to do their worst, but<span style="font-style: italic">he's</span>not giving up his meal like some others the monk could name. Heedless of their swords, the bull crams the human's head and chest into his mouth, swallowing up to his waist; it's still awkward with limp legs dangling from his mouth, but at least now his arms were free enough to get back to fighting. The taint he'd noticed earlier on the cheetah wasn't here on the human- just clean, slightly sweaty human flesh with the comforting taste of fear on his tongue as he continued working the luckless cultist into his gullet.<br/><br/>Ambrosia, recognizing the naga's lack of desire to hurt her, begins planning on what she'll do when the naga lets her out. Letting go of the human she'd caught, the naga's throat catches in and pulls it away from her, deeper into her gullet... but barely does the fairy have time to smile at that than the naga's powerful throat opens again, pulling<span style="font-style: italic">her</span>in after her gift! Gulping sounds fill Ambrosia's hearing, and she can feel bare pinpricks of fangtips against her skin (Albali, just outside, sees the naga mashing its jaw on her as though she was shredding the fairy in her mouth- but none of the guards have quite so good an angle!) as they're pulled into its mouth, with only feet wiggling outside her maw. Through the muscular naga's hide, she can hear a ragged cheer from the remaining cultists; "Cap'n got one!" A gnome squeaks. From that one's perspective, the naga's throat is surprisingly gentle for someone who may well have more brute strength than Ambrosia itself- slick walls hold her but softly, even though they're not inclined to let her back out so soon.<br/><br/>The naga turns her gaze on Turilia and Albali- her eyes flick out the door, over to the next building over. She tenses, as though about to charge and simply bowl over the two party members still in her way... but the captain slowly<span style="font-style: italic">winks</span>with the eye furthest from cultists before turning around and slithering back towards the rest of the fight. Confused, Turilia whacks the departing naga's coils with her staff. This time, it connects, and frost spreads over a large patch of greenish scales... though she staggers slightly, she doesn't turn around to reengage, instead coming to a halt just behind the gnomes, eyeing Xarithe with Ambrosia and the human clearly visible outlines through her chest and the top part of her tail, respectively.<br/><br/>[[Actions:<br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">I'm saying that there needs to be a handle animal roll to get poor Sira to drop a treat in her mouth; a 17 on a d20 means that, yeah, obedient snake.<br/>Sira does the old drop-and-bite; both attacks hit, and the other human is successfully KO'd and grappled. <br/>Xarithe stands and moves.<br/>Gorun begins gulping down his human; the human is now Partially Swallowed. <br/>Eiyre books it forward and gets in a gnome's face.<br/>Ambrosia's action cannot fire yet, since she's still grappled, so she waits for the naga captain.<br/>Naga does <span style="font-style: italic">not</span> let her go, but instead swallows; Vore check of 26 brings Ambrosia to partially swallowed, along with her prey.
