Ahead appeared the ruins; Roger, Adrian, and Paroxysius moved forward to assess the situation...

Due to the approach of such a large number of people, the snake men could not have been unaware of their arrival and were on alert. Each of them threw spears at those arriving; one seriously wounded Roger, and another pinned Adrian to the ground, leaving him bleeding. The snake men did not rush to get closer but were clearly ready to continue ranged attacks. This time there were significantly more of them than in the previous encounter, and among them, one could see a huge lizard.
The situation and reconnaissance results showed the following:
— The ruins are surrounded by dense thickets, and accurate shooting from the forest (green area) or into the forest is impossible.
— The snake men do not hurry to move and prefer to attack at a distance that is accessible to them.
— It is quite possible that traps may be ahead.
— Some lizards took cover on the walls.
