The party returns to the room where they left the Reptile, to see if the Reptile is ok.
The party discovers Gnaw and another ghast eating a gnoll body in the room where they left the Reptile.
The party is at the entrance to the room, and there is no other exit. The ghasts are trapped and can not flee this time.
The reptile rolls over and stands (its ropes must have been cut earlier). Its many wounds do not seem to be slowing it down at all. A yellowish liquid drips from its mouth. It smells even worse then before (and Lylamwyn feels sick).
Round 1
25: Kerwyn casts Shield and moves inside the room, staying away from the ghasts for now.
19: Craven stands next to Kerwyn and holds his attack until the Ghasts move forward.
18: Raner waiting just inside the doorway, fighting defensively with expertise.
12: Neshi guards.
11: Lenya blasts the reptile (15+ hit, dmg 11)
10: The un-named ghast says pessimistically, "Trapped like rats." Gnaw replies, "Rats Gnaw to be free." Gnaw, Reptile, and un-named ghast move into melee combat. Reptile tries to bite Kerwyn, Gnaw tries to bite Craven, and unnamed ghast tries to bite Raner (17+5=22 vs. AC 18, Kerwyn dmg 10 paralyzed (fort dc 15, 9+1=10) and infected with ghoul fever (fort dc 15, 1+1=2), 20+/11+5 vs. Craven dmg 4 paralyzed (fort dc 15, 4+7=11), does not confirm, 5+ vs. Raner misses).
10: Raner attacks the un-named ghast, fighting defensively with expertise and misses due to excessive coughing (7+, miss).
10: Craven (paralyzed 4 rounds) stands still.
7: Belaver slings a stone at one of the ghasts, but misses (6+7=13 vs. ac 17).
6: Black Cat backs away from the ghasts.
5: Lylamwyn (sickened) tries to cast Scorching Ray at the un-named ghast, but he suffers a coughing fit right in the middle of the spell and the blast hits the ground directly in front of him, coming close to burning his left foot (attack roll 1+5 - 6 = 0 vs. touch ac 13)
3: Toriah fires his crossbow at a ghast and hits (14+ vs. ac 17, dmg 3)

Raner, -11hp (of 40)
~Round 1~
Readying his axe, Raner steps just inside the doorway, clearly blocking them from trying to flee past the party as well as protecting those who prefer to fight from range.
If this places him within reach, he'll take a swing (Expertise for 3).
If not, he'll use Total Defense until they approach then switch to fighting with Expertise.

Presuming that the reptile's recovery is a false one, induced by undeath, Belaver holds Neshi back and pelts whichever one of the ghasts he has a clearer shot at.
Dalamar
Adventurer
If it hasn't been an hour yet from when he stole the spell from Festrath, Kerwyn expends the random action spell to cast a shield of his own. If it has, he casts it using his own power instead.
"Time to see if any of your teachings work, teach," Kerwyn says as he draws his sword and moves inside the room, staying of reach and next to a wall for now.
