Sadly I am not up-to-snuff on the diablo II variant rules, so for specific help in killin' @#%$ I can't help you.

As for the snake, if, as a rogue, you get sneak attack, a coup de grace should take out anything but a high level paladin, just wait until the snake is either sleeping, or has eaten, cuz once they actually have it in their stomach they are slooooooow.

After that, cook the snake and eat it (to make a point) and be prepared to run like hell.

If anything goes wrong, run away, and take out the party later that night, coincidentally, what spells do you have? I may be able to help tactics-wise.

Finally, whether or not the snake is killed, you also have to kill/steal everything from the druid, it's only fair.

First, the short version: Get the hell out of dodge and light some fires on the way.

Now, the long version.

Heros do commit many random acts of violence and destruction, but unless the entire point is to be in an evil campaign, which I never like to do, you do not randomly murder helpless innocents for any reason whatsoever.

The druid ordered/allowed her snake to eat a wounded but not dead ally with no remorse whatsoever. This is an evil act, therefore the druid is playing an evil character, if the druid does not have "evil" on her character sheet, that means that the DM is just pathetic, and you need to either be just as evil, or stop playing with that group.

The rest of the party had no problem with this cold-blooded (in more ways than one) murder, therefore they are also either evil, or under the same influence of crappy Dming.

In any case, if you are not playing a campaign where your character are all supposed to be evil, which I doubt since you were "rebuilding" and "defending" a town, then the DM sucks ass and you need to just get the hell out of dodge before you lose any joy you had in role-playing. a bad group can ruin a great hobby for someone, and if your Dm doesn't mind the powergaming "I can get away with anything" attitude then you'd best either learn to not care, (and therefore lose the role-immersion quality of the game) or get out.

Now, in either of these cases you're going to want ot get revenge, so it's time for the cold-blooded murder plans!

First, the snake is NOT as powerful as the druid, and they are much easier to kill individually than as a group. First, check your PHB, unless I am mistaken you CAN coup de grace with a spell as long as it has an attack roll, so wait until the druid is asleep then hit her with a 7d6 inferno spell.

Assuming that does not work, you just need to play the same strategy as you will use against the snake, wait until the druid falls asleep, pour a large bucket (that's considered to be around 10 regular flasks) of oil, and hit her with the same inferno spell. then laugh as she dances around in flames and tries to make a concetration check so she can cast a spell to put the fire out.

For the snake, cast invisibility sphere, do the smae thing, if it tires anything, run away, and throw magic missiles at it 'till it's dead, it shouldn't be any faster than you, probably slower.

then, eitehr laugh and stay with the party, or get the hell outta dodge, it's your decision. of course, a lucky roll or two and the targets might survive, but I need lots more specific information than I could get over the boards to make it a sure thing.

Good luck, and I hope it works out. Also, have you tried talking to the DM? or anyone else in the group?
