The creature, sprawled out in front of the three of you, begins to rise, as it screeches and mewls that reverberates through the cavern, either the sounds of a beast or some unknown language.

As the creature begins to rise, Karven steps back from the creatures writhing mass of appendeges where it's hands should be.
Maispar, blade whistling through the air, strikes the beast squarely as a big chunk of flesh goes flying, seeming to have a life of it's own as it hits the grounds and continues to move.
Oloek, in turn, strikes at the creature and feels his blade strike deep.

The creature, once standing, lashes out at Karven, it's limbs seeming to elongate as it strikes

Karven, again, goes backwards, staggering on his way backwards from the tentacles.

He conjures another ball of energy in his hand and throws it at the beast.

Maispar calls on the last of his magic reserves and casts a spell before advancing right onto the creature.

The creature mewls and screeches, loud enough to make your ears hurt, as blast catches it in the chest, searing its hair.
As Oloek lashes out, his blow goes wide as the creature lurches to its feet.
As Maispar calls upon the power of his ancestors, the beast manages to shrug off the enchantment.

The creature seems to sniff the air for a moment before it lashes out at Oloek with its tentacles.

Spoiler


The creature, hauling its tentacled arm back, throws a wild haymaker the Oloek easily evades but sends the creature sprawling once more on the ground.

Karven threw another bolt at the fallen creature, and then retreated another ten feet back.

Oloek quickly thrust his sword, hoping to strike an opening while it's distabilized.

As the creature begins to rise, Maispars blade slices a wicked arc, leaving a gash in the beast from left shoulder to it's right hip, causing the beast to cry out in pain.
A heartbeat later, Oloek lunges forward with his will made manifest, and the glowing blade sinks into the creatures abdomen and the creature cries out again.

The creature steps back, trying to evade the blows

Spoiler


And succeeds in withthdrawing, moving of the slime and running down the cavern with a trail of bubbling, red-green blood dripping behind it. It continues to howl and mewl as it runs.

Maispar knows that it is greatly weaken, and it is time to end this wretched creature's life. Maispar charges.

Karven loads up another blast of energy and gets it to accelerate towards the creature.

Oloek stops attacking and lets the creature run. "Don't kill it! Not now! It's no threat anymore and we can track it with it's blood. It knows the hideouts and resources of the area, it'll probably retreat close to a source of water!"

Karven and Oloek only
Spoiler


As the creature tries to run away, Maispar rushes the beast but slips a bit the last moment on the ichorous blood, causing the blade to go wide.
A moment later Karven takes aim and the eldritch blast lights up the cavern with its green blast, giving the cavern a sinister appearance, as the blast strikes the creature in the center of its back which nearly causes the creature to topple as it continues on.
As the green flare is dying down Oloek pleads with his new companions to hold off slaying the creature.

"Normally, I would agree with you, but it seems to be calling for friends. Are you sure you want us to let it go?"

"Hmmm, a good point. However, we can hopefully argue it was a simple misunderstanding and we were just defending ourselves..."

This is no time for talking. Let us follow it.
Maispar continues after the creature, deciding that if there is an infestation of these things nearby, it is better to find out sooner rather than later. Maispar strongly "encourages" the monster to keep running, by charging at him and punching him in the back.

Spoiler


Yell out if you see anything pop up nearby. I'll take care of this thing.

Karven shook his head and pelted the beast with a blast of energy. "You want to fight more of them?!"

Oloek sighs and shrugs, taking off after the creature himself. "Majority rules I guess."

As the three companions converse on how to deal with the creature, Maispar punches at the creature but misses the fleeing beast.
Karven's blast hits the creature, narrowly missing Maispar in the process.

As the creature runs towards the direction the three wanderers came from, light can be seen streaming from the corner ahead along with shouts and shadows as you can hear your fellow traveler's yell out "YOU GUYS ALRIGHT? WHAT WAS THAT SOUND?"
The creature, hearing the voices and seeing the lights, disappears around the corner of the side tunnel.

Oloek yells out "THE NEIGHBOURS!" and takes off at a dead run around the corner, trying not to lose it.

Karven saw that it was going to get away at this rate and wished he had prepared Remove Fear. Since he hadn't, and letting it go was not something he was about to do, he moved to a clear line of sight and fired a ball of energy at it.

Having the prey escape would be the worse possible outcome, but Maispar is confident that he can keep up.
