Realizing there is nothing more to be done, Calahan will tumble back, out of the fire,
and desperately try to reach his companions.
For sure, he doesn't want to die. Not here, and not now.

Ru holds off a moment, recognizing the risk in the situation. Fr. Berman, however, shows no such hesitation as he valiantly enters the inferno to give some healing to quickly frying Calahan (+7 hp).
"Thanks," Calahan mumbles, quickly rolling back out through the door he came in. Behind him, Torhan lets out a bellow of righteous fury as he drives his sword down onto the foul being beneath him. That sound is joined by one last creak of the entire engulfed room, the eerie sound of scraping metal as the paladin pierces the monster's hide to a frothy red spray, Fr. Berman moving forward to grab the vile monstrosity's head...
Darian looks in the room. "Come out of there!"
Beams splinter. With a great and primal scream of falling masonry and woodwork, the room collapses. The roof falls in. The structure of the mansion fails, and the entire bedchamber implodes and plummets into the room below. Ash and dust rise and fall as the corner of the mansion transforms into a haphazard bonfire.
The entire room collapsed into the ground.
At the top of the mangled heap, lit in the flames and moonlight, thrust outward is Torhan's sword, an odd brass hoop perched on the quillons and swaying back and forth.
Torhan ???
Fr. Berman ???
Calahan 10/23, fatigued
Darian 14/20
Ru 12/30

Ru Brike, barbaric human monk
"Gods!" Ru gasps as he looks down. Cursing his own hesitation, but knowing killing himself will do no one any good, Ru snags a potion from his backpack, hastily downing it before he jumps down to the wreckage in the faint hope that his companions have survived.
[sblock=OOC]I think retrieving and drinking a CLW potion takes up all of Ru's actions for the round, but since I've been remiss in posting, let's put in some next round looking forward-ness:
Move action to get down to the fallen floor. Both Jump and Tumble can be used to reduce damage from a fall, so let's try those (too bad Slow Fall is still a level away for him): Jump +17 and Tumble +7. If they both succeed, his drop is effectively 20ft shorter, which I hope helps enough to let him dig through burning rubble without becoming downed comrade #3. :\
Standard action will be the above-mentioned digging in rubble. Where's someone with a handy Create Water spell when you need them?

Seeing how the entire roof falls down on his enemy,
Calahan grins, and licks the ash from his lips.
"See? - When I was a young boy, mine nuncle used to tell me that ' a fire is best fought with fire'. Haha, so he told me every time he beat me."
The woodsman will check his belongings for any damage, then spit out the ashes and take a deep draught from his bottle of brandy.
He is about to put it away, when he twists his lips again and offers the strong-smelling alcohol to Father Berman.
"Nice fire, eh?"
Calahan grins, and licks the ash from his lips.

Calahan realizes that Fr. Berman did not make it out of the room in time... he is buried in the pile of smoldering rubble.

Realizing that the priest hasn't made it in time, Calahan looks,
if that is at all possible for him, touched.
"Ru! Don't waste your forces! Noone would survive something like that! -RU!"
Cursing loudly, Calahan will drop his bow and start to dig.
One can hear him muttering something like: "Hope the loot's worth it..."
