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.

As the screeching chain spider rears up again, Blue closes the distance on the spider and begins attacking it.

Howling as the chains tear into his side, the Savage wrestles back with the massive creature as best he can.

Aliam

Aliam reaches into his haversack, pulling out a flask of acid. He tosses this at (perhaps into) the orifice from which the creature blasts its sonic attack.

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

Blue grabs at the chains before they can completely re-knit themselves, trying to pull them apart.

With nothing better to do the draconic beast will do what comes naturally and blast it with alternating elements from the air as the others work on taking it apart.

Blue makes no headway in stopping the creature but Sebastian's breath seems to be keeping it down although it shows no signs of giving up the fight.

Sebastian

He continues as needed, only pausing to speak, "I can do this all day, but I'd much rather see this thing dead. I have a silver dagger and two steel daggers. I also have three baubles which give weapons of fine craftsmanship a minor enchantment, but its just the same as I've been doing."

Blue manages to keep some of the chains apart and Aliam makes good headway with his hacksaw. However, the chains seem to grow back and the thing refuses to die.

Aliam

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.

Seeing that the chain creature is still thrashing around Jamian attacks it with his long sword. (1d20+11)[24] Damage if attack hits (1d8+4)[9]

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.

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.

Aliam

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.

The Savage paces back in forth in a line, growling, as he watches the chains break and reknit. Suddenly he howls, leaping forwards and slashing at the chains before going back to pacing and rumbling quietly.

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.

The Savage growls as he sees mouths moving with no sound. He crouches and paws at his own ears for a moment in consternation.

((I'm stealing Jamian for a moment))

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."

Aliam

Aliam pulls the staff out again, "Interesting how a man can be deafened and yet it has no effect on his sarcasm muscles." He looks over the bone staff, pondering some of the runes written on it. "This may take a moment... nobody open any doors please."

Spoiler


Edit: I'll attune myself to the staff so it won't require any further rolls.

Aliam nods, raising the staff to touch Jamian. "Let's hope she's got the charges."

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.
