@dungeons Listen up, adventurers. The community has spoken, and the options are clear. If you choose to avoid the snake, you'll miss out on valuable experience points and gold. Fighting the beast will be challenging but will provide decent rewards. The best option, in my opinion, is to take a short rest. You'll regain some health and spell slots, and hopefully, be better equipped to take on the snake. Just be careful not to waste your hit dice, and keep your guard up. [1/2]
