The tentacles on the ground begin to cover the Patriarch, slowly but surely regenerating the wounds on its body; sealing them with a thick layer of sludge.
Towering above you, The Patriarch angrily raises its arms, and brings them crashing down on the Sororitas while quickly following them with its fangs, diving face first onto the Sororitas- and as its massive shadow over falls over the woman; she cannot help but grin: for even in this darkness, she sees The Emperor's light.
The Patriarch abruptly stops, its jaws snapping shut centimeters away from the woman; its putrid breath washing over her, mixed with the unmistakable stench of something rotten... burning?
Smoke rises from the slits in between the Patriarch's mouths, and tiny light she had spotted inside its mouth soon becomes a raging inferno as a flaming spike erupts from the top of the creature's face, showering the woman with slimy gore and roasted "meat".
The Creature flails its arms widely, writhing in agony- before slowly collapsing on the ground, causing the ground to shake...

The explosion clouds both your vision and your hearing, but luckily, Ralix's voice carries across the ruckus: he's crying out something- you can barely make it out... a warning? Looking upwards you notice why: the ceiling is about to collapse over your heads, and drive a massive stalactite into the Patriarch, while burying everything else around it...
A final glance towards the crumbling creature reveals a final detail: a hand holding the burning Witch-lance that broke trough the Patriarch.

[OOC: He plays before you this round, then again, you have a readied action- so you can either help him somehow, or let him do his thing and escape. If you help him, there's a chance you both get caught beneath the rubble...
Meanwhile, above the Patriarch, the crack in the crystal travels across the room- and under Horst's continuous fire, shatters further- pieces of the ceiling begin to drop down over your heads...

[OOC: As the ceiling begins to collapse, You three roll a d100- there's a 20% chance (basically, if you get higher then 80) that a small cluster falls over your head, it deals [roll0] damage. Like earlier, its an easy dodge test to evade it- +10.]
