(OOC: Well that was a massive cross-post, you're moving too fast! I guess it applies to the situation here as well. But does Clas picking up the vial precede Ardana's statement? I guess it doesn't matter)
(OOC: Well... You posted Ardana's statement after Clas posted his action, so I'd say yes, Ardana speaks after Clas picks up the bead. Or maybe almost simultaneously).
The fiend, telepathically to Ardana:
"My name is Kekszakal, soldier of Avernus. I don't know what this place is, but I know that that bastard Kylth Harpell has locked me up here for several centuries. And now, before the guardian kills you, how about you hurry up? You free me and I'll help you kill the guardian! Deal?"
Hahahaha! Clas laughs heartily, not minding the exuberant display of affection from the massive creature.
The sudden appearance of a bizarre, tentacled, and eye-covered creature high above grabs his attention. Clas stares up in awe, a mix of curiosity and concern on his face as he beholds this strange being, seemingly named Xomox. The creature's bizarre appearance and even stranger declarations leave Clas somewhat bewildered.
Still holding the glass bead, Clas takes a step back, glancing around at his companions. "Well, friends, time to drink!" he quips with a grin, drawing ale and barrel. "Well met Xomox, my friend! Any chance we can talk about this over an ale! Hahahaha!"
Clas keeps his eyes on the bizarre entity, ready for whatever might happen next. Initiative 13

Never underestimate the power of a finely crafted barrel, my friend! It is both a vessel of strength and a symbol of resilience.
(OOC: Apologies for the delay, it seems I'm getting busy weekend after busy weekend lately!)
All the new developments seem to be getting to Nim, the strange sigils, the curious she wolf, the magical fog filled halls, the eminent danger around every corner in this wretched place and now the ugly eyeball ridden creature all bear too much stress on our simple singing adventurers mind. He can't contain is any longer and he bursts out at the fiend bearing down on them from the ceiling.
"HEY! XOMOK YOU HIDEOUS FREAK! HEAVENS FORBID YOU EVER COME ACROSS A MIRROR LEST THE SIGHT OF YOU BURN A HOLE IN EVERY ONE OF YOUR DISGUSTING LITTLE EYEBALLS. ALTHOUGH NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE YOURSELF MAY BE A BLESING FOR THE GODS EVEN!"
(OOC: This insult is Nim's most brutal vicious mockery attack yet, should Xomox fail a DC14 Wisdom saving throw he will take 4 pts of psychic damage and suffer disadvantage on his next attack.)
Not seeing any potential threat in the she wolf by Clas and his side Nim stuffs his flag in his belt and retreats south.
The monster seems to understand the halfling bard's words... and doesn't seem to like them at all: "Arrgh! Xomox's head hurt! How dare you, you revolting little abomination! You and the prisoner liberator will taste the might of Xomox!"
The monster drops in altitude, approaching both of them menacingly (and consequently also the Big She Wolf).
Rays shoot out from two of the eyes placed on tentacles, one in the direction of Nim and one in the direction of Clas.
(OOC: Nim, please, make a Constitution Saving Throw; Clas, please, make a Wisdom Saving Throw).
Meanwhile, Ilwythe, hearing sounds of battle in progress, would like to enter... but she does not want to leave Daisy without the protection of her flag, so, pulling her by the hand, she urges her: "Come on, let's go in! They need us iside!"(OOC: He prepares to move-he will, if Daisy, when it's her turn, moves in the room with him)
Meanwhile, the Big She Wolf growls menacingly as Xomox approaches, then lets out a bloodcurdling howl that seems to shake your very soul…
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Clas, with Ale in hand, presses the attack against Xomox while attempting to persuade the bizarre creature. Between strikes, he raises his voice with a mix of confidence and humor, "Hey there, Xomox, old pal! Buddy, friend! You have it all wrong! Hahahaha! I'm the new warden, dang it! And Lady Baskers here, well, she's been granted parole! We’ve got the purple badges!”
Wisdom 2 Persuade 21 Ale 12 damage 8 Critical on 19.

Ardana keeps a close look on the fiend. "Everyone, the devil over there is talking to me in my mind. He wants to cut a deal to be released"

Ardana also is carrying on a conversation with the fiend, soundlessly:
To the fiend: Who are you? What is this place? How long have you been here?

Ardana plays hard to get
"... and you help us bring Dobbian back to Martha, safe and sound?"
Hahahaha! I don't suppose trapping it in the sigils will work! Anyone want to be bait?! Hahahaha!

In Ardana's mind:
