The cleric mutters a prayer as they make their way through the tunnels and enters the larger chamber, glancing about for other signs of life. He pauses seeing the hand symbols, able to understand some of the meaning from his earlier years of being a soldier. "I'll be right behind you," Tobias states. He unclasps his mace from his hip and follows Cyndral to the crater.
As Tobias peers past the glowing mushroom, there appears to be another entrance on the far end of the cavern, just on the edge of his dark vision after moving forwards. The paw prints are still visible on the ground. Some lead towards the slope of the platform and others lead towards the large hole.
As Shishakli silently makes his way over to the hole, he peers down into the depths and can just about make out a low red glow as he hears a growl, a snarl and the sound of something clambering up the rocks below. Using the telepathic spores, Shishakli quickly lets you all know what he sees and hears.
Verim still clasping his imbued shield he slowly creeps towards keeping distance. Verim whispers under his breath as he creeps closer to the hole, keeping Eldritch energy in one hand, whilst hovering over a holstered bottle of water within his robes.
Verim begins to walk forwards, his light still shining and the sound of his footsteps can be heard quite well in the echoing cave. As Cyndral and Tobias edge closer, Tobias spots a set of eyes looking up at him from inside the hole, quickly getting bigger as they get closer and closer.
Suddenly, before anyone has a chance to react, alarge, black beast launches itself out of the hole, you can now see the black matted fur on this dog like creature that's sprung out in front of you, its bright red eyes glaring and a strange fiery light emanating from within its throat.
Seeing Verim right before it as it leaps up, the Hell hound jumps forwards, it's throat glowing as it opens its mouth and small flames begin to be produced, Verim lifts his shield just in time to knock the beast away as it lets out a yelp.
Hell Hound 1
Cyndral, El, Gnarls, Shishakli, Tobias, Verim, Group 1
Cyndral stops in his tracks, eyeing the beast as it rushes into his allies. He debates for a heartbeat between defensive magic and lending aid to his allies, but cannot find it in his heart to summon a ward while an ally is already under assault. Fingers reaching for his material components instead grasp onto the hilt of his short sword, drawing it in a cruel ark as he lunges forward.
Verim jolts back as the beast lunges out and attacks him, he quickly using his off hand reaches into his pouch and douces himself in the freezing cold liquid as it builds and creates an armour like ice protection for Verim.
Verim uses armour of Agathys and gets 5 Temp hit points and ice protection. He stands strong awaiting the next attack.
As ice forms around a Verim, creating an incredible looking armour, Cyndral rushes up to the firey beast with his shortsword drawn. He takes a swing as the beast lowers itself to the ground, just in time to avoid the blade.

With the beast jumping right up next to him, Shishakli attempts to scramble back, but it's too late. Instead of his new crossbow, he pulls out his short sword and shield, spits a curse at the monster putting hunter's mark on it, and attempts to slack at it with his sword.
As Shishakli draws his sword (Drawing a shield at the same time might be a bit of a push) he mutters a few words as a burning symbol appears on the beasts neck. Shishakli shoves the blade into the hound, just above its front right leg. The symbol glows brightly as the sword punctures the skin and the hound takes a step back and grits it teeth.

Although off guard, Tobias has just enough time to ready himself and take a swing with his mace. There is a loud crack as the mace hits the beast in the side of the face as part of its cheek and eye socket shatter.

El slowly makes their way to a pile of rocks nearby (F18), back against the wall as they face the beast. They debate taunting the creature with words of power but decide not to aggravate it further, instead they focus on creating a discord of psychic voices and release it at the beast.

JimJar looks towards Shishakli “I’ll stick with you and look out for any movement”
Gnarls, Drendil and Buppido take a couple of steps forwards and prepare themselves, listening out for any noises.

Shishakli silently nods to JimJar, and quietly walks up to the edge of the hole, crossbow at the ready, to peer in and see what he can.
