Abilities
Fire breath
The lava snake breathes fire at its target.
- Chance: 50% each time it gets a chance to act in combat, then it waits 30–45 seconds before it can breathe again.
- Damage: 5% of its current hit points, at most 200 (a full-health lava snake deals about 1). It does less damage as it gets hurt. (100% fire damage; the type doesn't matter under New Bradford's combat rules.)
- Range: the target has to be within its sight range and in line of sight.
- It stops for about a second to breathe, so you can see it coming.
- A peacemade (calmed) or summoned lava snake can't use it.
Loot
Every lava snake carries:
- Gold: about 1–25 in total (from its "Poor" loot)
- 1 sulfurous ash
It may also carry:
- A musical instrument (about 0.02% or less)
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 1 raw ribs
Location
- The Deceit brazier: double-clicking it from within 2 tiles summons one creature picked at random from a list of about 90, and this is one of them. The brazier warns players who step next to it ("Heed this warning well, and use this brazier at your own peril"). It works once every 15 minutes and places the creature within 5 tiles. The summoned creature is set to attack the closest target, even if it would normally leave you alone, and it stays within 5 tiles of the brazier.
Tips
- Its fire breath is tiny because the damage depends on its own (low) hit points.
- Carve it for 1 raw ribs.
