"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 fighter starts to speak, but is interrupted by the white-plumed man. "Unfortunately he doesn't have a moment, as we've some personal business to take care of. Now if you'll excuse us, please." He escorts the winner away and nods to the thugs behind you, who quickly step in front of you, blocking your path to move any farther.

You guys are up in initiative, if you want to continue the fight. Rogash has 1 minute before he needs to make another save.

"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.

Caerwyn Is inwardly smiling as he sees a chance to act. He looks to his sister to try and discern what her plan might be at this time.
Talashia stands still for a moment, smoldering and watching her prize get spirited away. Then she flicks her ice blue eyes to the two guards blocking her.
"Who was that man?" she asks, deliberately leaving it vague as to which of the two men she was referring to.
The state of Uulark's nerves is obvious as his shot misses its mark, but the beast looses an unearthly wail as one of the dwarf's arrows hits home. It sits there and twitches for a moment, then advances into the chamber.

The guards leer at Buurt menacingly after his comment, but offer nothing in return... except a clear path to the exit door.

"Well, I think that was the right question, It is that I thought she wanted the guards to answer, not any of us." athen turning to the guards he asks,"So, who is the fop and who was the cage fight winner?"
Once again, Talashia seems to struggle with an internal dilemma. She settles it with an apologetic expression.
"I'm very sorry for the conduct of my companions," she says warmly. "They've had a bit much to drink. If you let us stay, we'll go sit back down this very moment, and won't make any more trouble."
The dwarf back-peddles and keeps firing his bow (1d20+9=20, 1d20+9=11, 1d20+3=23) as fast has is stubby fingers will allow. Two of the arrows (1d8+3=8, 1d8+3=8) sink into the shifting mass of flesh. He shouts to his companions, his voice strangely high pitched with excitement bordering on madness. "Stay way back Uulark, Shaz, use the fire, use the fire!"
Shazi flinches in midair, seemingly momentarily entranced by the horrible gruesomeness of the chaos beast. He gingerly lobs another jar of alchemist's fire at it!
Attack: 10 ranged touch (grenade-like if a miss)
Damage: 5 (1d6 repeats on next turn) Roll Lookup
Oh yeah, and the fire from last turn burns out this turn, doing 3 damage. Roll Lookup
Uulark is evidently quite shaken by the very presence of the chaos beast, because it seems to be all he can do to keep his crossbow pointed vaguely in its direction. Actually hitting it with a crossbow bolt would seem to be out of the question at the moment.

"Fine," the man says. "But ye've been warned."

The group scatter like a hoard of rats as the chaos beast inches forward. Dyspeers howls fill the stone-walled chamber, and Uulark's girly whine nearly matches it. Still, they fire on, and soon the burning beast is filled with projectiles and finally stops moving.
OOC
I've taken the liberty of moving things along here, else we'll be at that battle all day (figuratively, obviously).
Shai nods sheepishly as the guards give them leave to stay, and tries to find a table for them all. When they're seated, he bites his lip and says, "You think that man's gonna come back out? I mean, breathing and all?"

Girly whine, eh?? Grrrrr, insulted by a DM. I guess I'd best just take it and hush, huh?
