Inside the room, BB stalks the mage, his polite tone underscored by a swing that connects and one that misses.
At the door, Larry strikes so fast that even he isn't sure he hit, until the creature groans and doubles over in pain.
Black shoves their head through and grabs hold of the creatures leg, giving it a good shake before releasing.
The mage, hard pressed by BB, attempts to blow him back with a series of magical darts of force. BB takes 26force damage.
The many armed creature extends two arms through the doorway, pulling itself through to bellow in Bolt's face, following that up with a furious barrage of slashes.
Attack on Bolt: 15 Damage: 10 (Black imposing disadvantage) Attack on Bolt: 22 Damage: 12 Attack on Bolt: 12 Damage: 11 Attack on Bolt: 19 Damage: 7
The mage opens his mouth and seven unerring darts swarm out, flitting around before orienting on BB and zipping towards him. It doesn't look good for the big guy.
Bolt gets struck by two of the claws, but she remains standing. Larry and Black each get hit by the claws that came for them, Black sparking and shuddering, but still functional.
It hisses, spittle spraying across Bolt from its horrific mouth, but its panting after exerting itself.

Ah, right. Was going by the icon on the map. If it's not possible, it's not possible. Maybe he could climb partway up the wall with one hand, to get a clean shot with the other hand? No worries if not. Trying not to hold things up.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Keller kicks up off a bit of stonework, pressing himself against the outer wall and fires down over Bolt, hitting the creature. Dropping down lightly, he quickly reloads and sends another bolt into the horror.
Storm, all four of him, continue drifting into the room, and even more chaotic magic bursts and swirls out of him.

The chaos leaps from Bryn to the mage, who screams as the chaos begins infiltrating his flesh, which alternately flows and re-solidifies. It is somewhat nostalgic to all of you but Larry, though not necessarily in a positive way, as you experienced much the same when first exposed to the chaos energy that left you wholly changed.
Larry is able to feel the latent energy dancing across his metal body, tiny sparks leaping across gaps in his construction. It tickles.

The mage grunts as the icy bolt hits him, rime forming over where it impacted.
The many-limbed aberration similarly is struck, but it barely has time to register the hit before it is dealt a vicious blow from Bolt's flaming axe and is engulfed in flames, crumpling to the ground.
