The party navigates the blood wave and throws open the door before stumbling into...
Tuk, Scrag, Rosalia, and Grok

...a new large room that appears to lack an exit. The room is 160 feet square, but otherwise quite bare. The stone summoning chamber has a plain, black altar resting in the middle of the room while a wooden cabinet is set against the far wall. The rough outline of a pentagram drawn in blood is marked on the floor around the altar. Suddenly, the celestial honey badger snarls and charges at something unseen, while at the same time Roderic and Jon start calling for you briefly as if they no longer see you, then they grab their weapons and prepare to fight. It cries as it is snared by something, then an invisible force lifts it and rends it in twain.

Jon and Roderic
[sblock]
...a hellish landscape. Your other companions are gone leaving only Jon, Roderic and the celestial honeybadger to face off against the threats here. Black, basalt rock extends off to a featureless, dark purple horizon. A single, pale star glints in the sky, providing a dim radiance. Standing 20 feet before you is a writhing globe of flesh and body parts. Mouths appear around the globe, moaning and howling in pain. After a few moments, a sickening rending noise comes from the globe and what erupts from it you know is what was once Tsathzar Rho. As he steps to the ground, the globe detonates, spraying the area and you with a layer of blood, guts, and slime. It seems your bless effect no longer works here to protect you from such. The celestial honey badger snarls and charges forward to meet the creature in melee combat. Suddenly the exploded entrails and guts writhe and hold it immobile as the part reptilian, part birdlike Tsathzar Rho moves forward with elongated limbs and neck in order to slash with long claws and bite with strong beak at the badger. It's over in a second, as the celestial honey badger gives a scream and is torn and pecked into two pieces.
