Rogash fishes out a couple of flasks of Alchemist's fire and passes them to Shaz. "That's why I bought them. You're most likely right and the thing will be too blasted crazy to stop for the fire, but maybe it will light itself on fire as it passes by. Anyway, I'd be most grateful if you'd at least attempt to use the fire and any other means you have at your disposal to attack the chaos beast." He turns to the canine member of the group and tugs at his beard. "Stay away from that thing you know, um defend I guess. Yeah, defend." This last word is said really slowly in hopes the meaning will get across. "Shall we?" Rogash gets his bow ready and and opens the door then steps back and looks for a target.
As Talashia stomps off toward the man in the white-plumed hat, her friends aren't the only ones to follow. The two thick-muscled human guarding the door quickly spot the trouble and post their tree-like bodies behind the group as Talashia closes in on her target. Finally, he acknowledges her with a sparkling smile. "Can I be of service to you, madame?"

Rogash and Uulark set themselves as the again pry open the door. The beast is still there, laying in the open between the door and first column.
OOC: Chaos Beast is last in the initiative order, since you guys were ready for it. Roll initiative or just go, whichever best floats your boat this time. Make sure Shazi and Dyspeer get turns if they're going to act as well.
Anyone know how to repost an image I've already uploaded?

"Certainly," Talashia replies without missing a beat. "I'd like a chance to speak with tonight's winner, so it would be a great service if you wouldn't spirit him away before I could do that."
As she speaks the sorceress studies the white plumed man's face...the first time she's had a chance to do so up close.

Shai turns to see the bodyguards, then flashes a toothy grin and waves politely. Nothing to worry about here.
While aware of the approaching guards, Buurt seems to relax more, his confidence bleeding into his gait, a casual steel flowing into him as he walks. If a half-orc could be equated to being similar to a great cat, it would most likely have the same feel and look to it. Even though Buurt isn't being offensive, it is clear that he will be, if needed.
As the projectiles bombard the chaos beast, the vile thing lunges forward and lashes out to slap the dwarf. The immediate damage is minimal, but Rogash's adrenaline surges as he remembers what happened to Friadoc at the slightest touch from one of these creatures.

"Well then," white-plume smiles. "By all means, speak your mind." He gestures to the fidgety winner as if to say "he's all yours," but shows no intent to leave your to yourselves. It appears that whatever you've got to say, you won't be doing it in private.
"Why thank you." Talashia smiles a flirty smile at the winner and offers him her hand.
"I'm ashamed to say I lost some money on you," she says coyly. "But I got something worth far more. A pleasant surprise. It's so rare to see someone buck the odds and pull victory from the jaws of defeat. In fact, I'd like to invite you to my table if you have a moment. I would very much like to know more about you. I suspect we have a great deal in common, you and I."
The dwarf contorts in agony as his form begins to loose cohesion. After a moment he literally pulls himself together, but he knows that it will be short lived. "Stay back, it may have killed me, but I'm taking this beast to hell with me!"
"Nay, friend, I fear we shall both fall this day. 'T'is what we get for venturing into this awful place without the support of our comrades. Oh, well, we gave it hell while we were able!"
