(Sorry for the delay, players! I'm still here!)
Positions of characters at beginning of the next round...
(Chaos Beast: red; Eovin: purple; Selythin: green; Alan: blue; Zenythin: yellow.)
The strange black snake with wings, claws, and fangs continued scritch-scratching up onto the next level and into the abandoned throne room of the dead faerie queen. It was hurt, dripping some sizzling acidic blood as it pulled itself up the tree and onto the broken tile flooring.
It skittered across the ground, coming quickly at Alan as he ran into the doorway of the stairwell. Zenythin, right behind the young tailor, still on the stairs, shouted:
"Watch out! It's going to breathe on us again!"
Instead of breathing vile bile, though, the beast crashed right at Alan, swinging claws wildly.
Selythin's hex and Eovin's faerie fire still effected the gruesome creature. Its attacks went wide as Alan put his rapier between himself and snarling chaos beast.
The momentum of the beast, and the swinging and missing, caused the beast to crash through a curtain dividing the north-west area containing a large table and many chairs from the rest of the throne room area.
Alan was still within striking distance. Eovin and Selythin were still about 40 feet away.
(Initiative order is still Chaos Beast, Selythin, Eovin, Alan. The beast already went.)
