As soon as she approaches, Beshlog strikes! He casts spirit shroud with his bonus action (choosing to deal radiant damage). With his action he casts booming blade as he attacks the gnome with his axe.
Beshlog pops up, striking with his axe, invoking the blade-singer power to infuse blades with arcane energy. His attack lands on the Maid, giving her a nasty gash. The maid looks up in surprise, but is quick to react. She bangs her fists together, the white gloves she had on becoming bladed metal gauntlets. With a wicked grin, she exclaims "Looks like someone tried to resist the potions. My, that won't do. I guess I'll have to knock you out myself"
Fuzzy Face-huggers turn!
The thing claws at Artan, trying to maintain its grip

Artan avoids being scratched. But is still unable to remove the creature (instead of a 1, I rolled a 2 this time....) "Just get off my face!" he shouts muffled to it. (if it is a beast, which I doubt, it can understand me, but I can't understand it: You have the ability to communicate in a limited manner with Beasts, Plants, and vegetation. They can understand the meaning of your words, though you have no special ability to understand them in return. You have advantage on all Charisma checks you make to influence them.)
Beshlog is struck twice. The first punch is ineffective against his incredible fortitude (Beshlog uses Stone's Endurance, reducing the incoming damage by 15, damage reduction rolled in game log), but the second attack is solid. He grunts in pain. And... rolled a nat 1 on the save for concentration (8 total).
The giant isn't going down easy, though. He begins to sing a low song as he twirls his blade (activate Blade Song). Then he strikes, using booming blade.
Beshlog's attack lands, though it is merely a glancing blow (half damage since the attack roll was the same as the things AC, 14). The maid is bleeding from multiple cuts, but still she soldiers on, winding up for another strike.
Beshlog can see a few possible exits: the three chutes in which the maid was throwing bodies, the shaft which he fell down, as well as the other shafts that supposedly lead up to other rooms, & a door set in the wall. The maid is between him and the door though.
Ember, GO! (the Critter is off of Artan's face and in Demetrius's hands)

(Since you said "rabbit squirrel" (post 332) can we finally realize this is Rascal or do we need to roll something? I"m going to respond as if it's obvious and edit if needed. Also, we've doubtless missed stuff in the fight with Rascal, but have we noticed anything about the fog in the room and the barkeep yelling about witches?)
"YOU!", Ember says, looking angrily at Rascal. "I TOLD you he was trouble. Say, where's Beshlog, it's his varmint?" She opens the door to Beshlog's room (if she can. I'll wait for you to confirm before "discovering" he's missing)
"And where's Emelia? Shouldn't she have gotten that other room by now?" Turning back to glare at Rascal. "You guys need me to blast this thing?"
Perception 20 to look for Beshlog & Emelia, recognize Rascal and see the fog and hear the bartender.
It is not Rascall, but looks very similar. It is another rabbit-squirrel, but not Rascall. It seems that Rascall is not the only one of his kind.
Beshlog's room is empty, the bed made and the maid having snuck by you while you dealt with the Critter. The maid is nowhere to be seen. As she looks around, Ember hears a skittering behind her, and turns just in time to see a small blur running out of the room and down the hall. She runs after it, and comes out onto the stairs, where she sees a cloud of fog hanging over the furious cacophany the patrons are making as the bartender is yelling at them to "FIND HER! FIND THE PRIESTESS!"
Would we have got an attack of opportunity on the critter? Otherwise there isn't really anything Artancan do as it has escaped. Assuming no attack is made he wants to go into Beshlog's room and try and examine to see if there is any sign of what happened to him. (investigation 11)
As soon as she approaches, Beshlog strikes! He casts spirit shroud with his bonus action (choosing to deal radiant damage). With his action he casts booming blade as he attacks the gnome with his axe.
Battleaxe:
Attack: 18; Damage: 7 (magical slashing) + 3 (thunder) + 1 (radiant) = 11 total damage
If she willingly moves 5 feet or more after being hit, she'll take an additional 10 thunder damage.

Unarmed strike (grab?) 9 to hit

Beshlog's mighty swing connects, causing a spurt of blood to splatter over the floor, ruining the maids white dress "Look what you did now"
Ember, on her turn, tries to grab the facehugger, but fails.

This is really holding on tight (10 to remove). If no one else gets it off this round, Artan will resort to shape-shifting to dislodge it.

Demetrius desperatetly tries to grab the thing. He manages to yank it off, and is now grasping a very angry rabbit squirrel.

dang it, original rolls were a 19 for strength, 2 attacks missed (14 & 9 to hit), and one hit (24) for 9 damage. I hate the dice roller

Beshlog uses Stone's Endurance again, negating 6 damage from the maid's third attack (the other two missed entirely).
Still singing, he swipes at her with the axe again... using Booming Blade
Attack: 14 (ew); Damage: 6 (magical slashing) + 8 (thunder) = 14 total if this somehow actually hits.
She'll take another 4 thunder damage if she willingly moves 5 feet or more before Beshlog's next turn (assuming she actually got hit by the attack).
(Can Beshlog see a potential exit nearby?)
