    Sebastian

    When he takes notice the the blasted thing still moving Sebastian will turn to face it once more. If he needs to he will move forward, drawing in breath as he does so. He knows the creature must still be taking horrible damage from his earlier electrically charged breath and so he warps the breath inside him. With a rush of wind a furious gas rushes from his reptilian jaw.

    The thing drops quickly under the onslaught but now that you are all alerted, you notice the chains continue to re-knit themselves.

    Aliam works faster, trying to concentrate on the head region and get as deep inside the monster as he can (not at any point standing directly in front of the orifice). "If you could subdue this thing it'd be an endless source of refined metal... too bad it's not made of gold." He pauses, "Maybe its regeneration is situational to the room." He starts tossing the chains he cuts off outside into the hall.

    The chains Aliam flings aside writhe a bit and then grow still. Although your actions are subduing it, it continues to grow back and remain alive.

    Quickly growing frustrated with the obvious futility of their current mode of attack, Blue casts his eyes around the room, looking for something that might be somehow related to the creature's regeneration abilities.

    Also growing frustrated, he looks at the structure of the creature, trying to figure a way to deal with it.

    Show
    Knowledge (Nature): (1d20+9)[16] to figure out if he knows something about spiders that might be applicable here... weak points, perhaps attacking it at the narrow point where the abdomen and thorax meet... anything else that I'm not considering.

    Knowledge (Dungeoneering): (1d20+12)[21] to figure knowledge of monsters found in dungeons and how such a thing as this might be defeated.

    Meanwhile, while he's trying to figure these things out he drops his hacksaw and draws his cold iron longsword and his alchemical silver dagger.

    Blue casts his eyes about in vain for a link but finds nothing. Aliam can't seem to remember anything relevant but he's got plenty of time as Sebastian's breath continues to surpress the creature.

    Since the creature is so supressed, Aliam could saw away on it with a hacksaw with no resistance he takes his weapons and carefully (without damaging the blades) inflicts injury from each to see if either cold iron or silver retards the regeneration.

    I'm assuming I need no "to hit" roll for a prone, helpless creature so I will just roll damage for the cold iron longsword: (1d8)[3] and the silver dagger: (1d4)[4].

    Sebastian

    The draconic man allows himself a moment to catch his breath, breathing heavily after such a workout of his physical and mystical powers. With a flourish he replaces his crossbow within his enchanted pack and removes a silvered dagger from his vest. Thereafter he begins ensuring every last scrap of chain has met with silver to ensure all of it is quite dead. He'd seen ice trolls before regrow from nothing more than a finger left forgotten on the field of battle. Once he is done he tosses the staff he found earlier to Aliam, as his own prowess with magical items is limited. He then removes the sapphire from his pack and holds it out to the others, "Any of you have an eye for gems? I'd like a competent estimate on about how much this beauty might be worth." He'd prefer to keep it on his person, but wouldn't be against offering up coins or other objects if someone else really wanted to hold onto it. He's of dragon blood. He likes the shiny.

    Jamian

    The cleric sticks a finger into his ear to work out some wax and then lets out a heavy sigh as he realizes it will not help return his hearing. Not prepared to deal with such an ailment he mourns his condition aloud, "Damnation. I seem to be deaf without the means by which to alleviate this problem, which affects at least two others here. If only there was some way to fix this, such as a magic item that can remove deafness."

    The dragon-blooded man nods, "Aye, it had a full fifty charges. Poor sap that had it never even got to use it."

    Jamian

    He taps on his ears a few times, "Right, so I can hear again. Wonderful. Those two were also deafened." He gestures to The Savage and Jaume. Jamian begins poking around with some healing, preferably delivering healing touches and then his delicate wand but he has a wide variety of other useful healing mechanisms.

    Paragraph removed for clutter reasons.

    Summary, in order of preference:
    1. Heal to half for free by touches once per round.
    2. Use wand. (Takes one round per HP healed.)
    3. If wand takes too long, Healing Devotion instead. (3 HP per round)
    4. If that even takes too long, burst healing. CLW and CMW as domain spells, maximized. 15 on a CLW and 30 on a CMW. 1d8+7 CLWs as needed. (45 in two rounds, , more on later rounds.)
    5. If there is only one round, CCW for 56.
    6. If it is really terrible, he'll drop a heal for 150HP healing.
