Hmmmm. Does that mean we should just leave it be and move onto another topic, or do we continue down this chain of events?

Kira shakes her head. She returns to looking at Neela, blush slowly fading. "No, no, I'm good, really. Gluttony can be very bad for a lamia, it slows us down and makes us sluggish, turns us into easy prey for the other predators of the plains. At least that's what's taught to us really early on in our hunter training. Oough...gonna have a hard enough time moving around as is." She slowly starts to slither towards the door to the enclosure, moving sluggishly and with effort. "Nnnf..."

I would like to finish the encounter before the end of Labor Day weekend, if possible.
She can't have that many hit points left. I just need to stop her from killing the priest before that.

"Tell that to the...nngh...the tribe." It's a slow process, far slower than her normal slithering speed, made worse as she has to very carefully navigate the bulge in her snake section through a gap that's not very much wider than it. "It's why I'm even here in the first place. The Talons, with their technology, were faster and more powerful than us, and we turned from predator to prey." She has a rest by the fence as she manages to fully exit the enclosure. "Oh sweet Ouroboros we have a long we to slither..." She looks over at Neela. "'The god and goddess'? Who are they?"

Heeey, wait a minute, what do I hear about a mystery pertaining to a lich?
This sounds like a job for a licensed Necrologist.

You know what, let’s just say the two attacks land.
>>175789
Once Kira’s free of the enclosure, she knows it’s only about… 3 miles or so to the row house.
“Oh, well let’s not” she looks down “let’s not focus on that.” Then back to Kira “Talons. You mentioned them before. They are like predators?”
When Kira is stopped, Neela comes closer to Kira. Then even closer. She comes right up to Kira’s mid section and taps onto Kira’s stomach, presumably trying to feel the outline of the gist underneath. Then she does it again.
“Ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Neela has a bout of laughter, looking at and feeling Kira’s snake body, especially her bloated mid section.
>>175790
Well what do (You) want?

Well, I think it's a really cool, spontaneous idea, and it would actually be really cool to go along with it, but I don't want to give you any grief if you don't want it.

Okay
Posey's slam damage
[2d6+8 = (3+8) = 11]
Ghoul bite
[1d8+3 = (5+3) = 8][1d6 = 5] + paralysis
I am really glad I put that Necrotic cyst in her, or this encounter would have been a lot harder.

Neelas continued responses to Kira's way of eating continues to confuse the poor lamia. She's never seen anyone respond this way. Neela can feel something hard, presumably Hopper the goat, through the firm muscles and scales of Kira's snake body. If her touching the lamia there makes Kira feel uncomfortable or painful, she doesn't show it.
"The Talons. They're griffons who moved in and settled a colony near my tribe. Talonsvaal. They haven't been there long, they've only been around for our recent history. They got into a war with a nearby zebra nation, Roam, and to everyone's surprise the Talons won. We really didn't think it would happen, the Roamans greatly outnumbered the Talons, but I guess now we know they had a technological advantage that gave them the edge. At first we were grateful, the Roamans really didn't like lamias and we were worried they were going to attack us after they dealt with the Talons and wipe us out. Then some time after the war the Talons built a gold mine on our lands, and started dumping poisons from it into the river we used for our drinking water. A bunch of angry lamias kicked the griffons out of the mine against the wishes of the chief, and the Talons responded by launching an attack on the entire tribe." Her ears fold backwards. "I'd call it a declaration of war, but we never stood a chance. Guns, and artillery, and airplanes...we had nothing that could match them. Mom sent me off with some valuables to get help from the mythical Equestrians for our tribe, while she rallied what was left of the hunters to protect the remnants of our tribe, and...now I'm here."

“Equestrians weren’t so mythical after all, were they? Griffins and gold, can’t say that surprises me. We have a similar problem with the ponies here, attacking and dominating. Can’t say I’ve seen very many griffins that weren’t also downtrodden. There’s a few wealthier griffins, sure, but they hardly seem like predators to me.”
The farmer walks up
“Are you - are you done?”

"There are griffons here?" Kira's eyes go wide, and she looks almost afraid. The farmer coming up snaps her out of it, and she looks over at him. She blushes, and slightly nods.
"Ye...yes, it's done."

Neela:
"Of course. Didn't you see that catty bitch with Lash at my apartment, Girka? There's quite a number of them here."
The stallion looks down at Kira's midsection
"Is that... Is that the goat? You ate it?"
To be fair to the stallion, the goat is very nearly his size, if a bit shorter. If Kira can swallow the goat, she probably could the farmer too.

>He jumps out of the way and draws a sword
"Oh good, you brought a sword. I was going to bring mine, but it's so complicated to bring past customs." Posey says, almost casually as plans her next attack.
I take it means that it's Posey's turn now?

Okay, Posey has 6 lvl 1 spell slots left. She's hit this thing with two lvl 3 spells, and one lvl 2 spell. She has no way of knowing how many HP it has left, but she knows that with her cyst inside it it cannot withstand her attacks for long.
Posey commands the ghast to grapple the monster
The ghast charges as it grapples, flanking with the priest
Touch attack to grapple
[1d20+9 = (14+9) = 23]
This provokes an attack of opportunity

Oh. Right. She had honestly forgotten about her. Kira looks away from the farmer, and continues to blush. She speaks in a small, meek voice.
"...mmhmm..."

I'll follow that up with a damage roll
[1d8+1 = (6+1) = 7][2d6 = 6]
DC 18 to avoid Str damage from chill touch, it takes a -2 penalty to the save due to Posey's embedded cyst

Rolling the grapple against the monster
... Unless I'm mistaken. 3.5e grapple rules are a mess.

It's just a regular grab. The touch attack was to start the grapple, the 12 was to hold.
Unless the monster rolls lower than a 12, the grapple fails.

Step 1: If you don't have Improved Grapple, provoke an Attack of Opportunity from your target. If it hits, the grapple fails. Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
Step 2: Make a touch attack. If it hits, proceed to step 3.
Step 3: Make an opposed grapple check. If your check beats your opponent's, you are now grappling.

"No, I'm all good, thank you..." She looks back up at the farmer, meek and embarrassed despite all that Neela told her about accepting who she is. "I know this isn't ever a...pleasant transaction for a non-predator to make with a predator, but...thank you. Truly. You really do provide an invaluable service for us." She extends a hoof towards him for a hoofshake. "I know it's weird, calling what just happened a transaction, but...I hope I can call upon you and your farm again in the future. It won't be for a while though, trust me. This should do me for at least a month, maybe longer." Finally, she smiles at him, and despite the fact that she currently has a goat in her belly, she does her best to look as friendly and nice as possible.

The creature screeches, and its rear limb falls off. It's forearms, already cracked and sundered, slinter down the middle. It cries, and then bleeds more black vile - from the cyst, surely - out its mouth, followed by white mold spores. It stops, and falls to the ground

The farmer smiles, but its yet another wide, teeth-showing smile that betrays a sense of awkwardness in a social situation.
Neela taps her. Not on her belly, but on the side of her pony chest. She leans over and speaks into her ear.
"Ask him for a ride."

Posey discharges 6 of her remaining 7 chill touches on the monster for good measure.
And one on herself, for giggles.
"Well, the ceremony didn't quite go as planned, but she IS dead now, so..."
Posey looks expectantly towards the peacock idol

The fungus finally dissipates, and dies
It helps that the lighting is so low. Several streams of orange light flow upwards towards the peacock's head in waves, until the feathers glow in the colors of the rainbow. Then a white light glows around the statue, like St. Elmos fire, and the statue is ready to give out the Angel's blessings
>>175826
"Oh, uh. you don't already have a vehicle, yeah, I can, I can uh transport you back. Where do you live?"

"Oh... It's harder for you to move after eating... I see... Just like a snake with a rodent. Sure." He walks up to a partly rusted red pick up truck, and lowers the bed.
"Just climb in the back. I... think it will hold ya."
He tries to ask questions like "How many of you are there?" and "Here in Equestria" as well as "How long have you been here?" and "Do you normally eat goats? Back home, I mean."

Hmm, not the best kept vehicle she's seen so far. Hopefully it holds her weight, as she gets up into the back.
If it does, and it seems to be a big if, she answers his questions.
1.) "Oh, quite a few, I came from a whole city of lamias back home in Zebrica. I haven't heard of any here in Equestria, though I did hear about those winged serpents from a local pony. Those sound neat!"
2.) "Not long, I just got off the boat today, actually. It's part of why I was so hungry, all they had were bananas on board."
3.) "Oh yeah, that and sheep and all different kinds of livestock the farmers raised. We also hunted, but there's too many lamias to have that be the main source of food. Some of the poorer lamias had to resort to eating bread or potatoes to fill out their diets."

"Proof of our devotion...!" Posey says, mystified by the display, being herself just an arcanist used to making transactional sacrifices to nameless horrors
Her spirit refreshed, Posey repeats her prayer from above, requesting an audience with the great Avenging Angel to return Agire to us.
She turns to the priest
"Despite the intrusion of outsiders looking to subvert our offering, it appears our prayer has been heard. Fetch Agire's body, because it's time for the moment of truth."
Gloomy stops his Crayola drawing, with a disappointed child-like pout, the drawing looking something like pic related. He gives a disgruntled groan, and for a second it looks like cinders and ashes spouted from his nostrils
