I had the Elemental do it's full round of actions:
• move to the door
• move to open the door
Meaning that I imagined the beast would then act and it would be the GM's turn
(If the Elemental was actually summoned right in front of the door, it could get 1 Slam attack vs. the Beast, but I do not think that was the configuration, in case here is a roll: Slam:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d6 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Narayan isn't thrilled by the confines of the fight so he checks through his bag of assorted tricks to find something to help him join the fray.

Cool, I was just saying for general purposes. because of the information provided, Amiri isn't thrilled about the idea of becoming an amorphous blob, and is willing to wait for an opportune moment. Especially if the elemental can move past the Chaos Beast and take the AoO so she can move in and provide room for someone else to move up-at least enough to get a clear shot on the thing

If the Elemental survives, Parrym can order it to Earth Glide under the beast, and pop out on the other side... provoking AoOs.
Parrym can also summon another one

Parrym calls out, in Terran: "Hit it and go under and behind!", and then spends the full round casting a spell to Summon another Elemental.

The Elemental is mangled, but manages to resist whatever Evil came with the blows.
it hits out--

Esmerelda will delay so she can get a slot to do touch party buffs. She can't reach Amiri or Narayan from her current position.
When she gets a spot, she's cast bulls strength, preferably on Amiri, but will cast on Narayan if she can't get to Amiri.

Narayan leaps past Amiri, slamming into the beast with his scaly foot before hopping back up to cling to the wall, fists and feet flashing as fast as he can manage.

"I need you now"
"And what of THE beast?"
"Wouldn't matter if I were dead, a lumpy blob, or worse yet, another chaos beast!"
"That does sound somewhat intriguing on a scientific level, though. Hmmmmmm...I wounder if you could rage if you were turned into..."
"Don't you even think for one second I'm gonna..."
"Yes, yes, of course not. Be a good girl and blow this candle out quickly! And save me a round or two with The Biggun."
Move Action Amiri moves up to the Chaos beast
Free Action: Amiri Rages(round 9/12)"Welcome back Sweet Sixteen!" Swft Action:Powerful Blow Once Again, Amiri brings the Icing on the cake
Narayan and Amiri rush the beast, fists, feet, and blade flying. They reduce it to a pile of quivering muscles, teeth, and eyes. Combat over!
Stepping over its cooling, still shifting, corpse you check the room it was located in. This large basement has all but been consumed by a large, water-filled sinkhole, while stone pillars support the dripping, fungus-caked ceiling above. A steeply sloped rubble floor mostly surrounds a dark lake. At the eastern end of the chamber, a single, worked-stone room remains, although its floor and walls are already beginning to crumble away into the sinkhole. A quick, and thorough, search of the room reveals nothing of interest.
Heading north...
A single large desk sits in the northern part of this room, a highbacked chair with a deep purple cushion sitting just beyond it.
Heading east...
A large circular table in this study is cluttered with scrolls, books, and an eclectic mix of strange devices that could be surgical instruments, weapons, or writing implements. A human skull bearing horn-like growths along one side and with a malformed jaw sits on one corner of the desk.
An old man wearing a leather apron covered in surgical and torture implements is smiling at you from across the room. "Took you long enough to get here, thought my gift from the old gods would finish you. No matter, I'll use you as a sacrifice for the spawn!"

Your deeds are by your choicce. Sset asside your ssins, and even you can know merccy.
Narayan pounces across the room, seeking to put down the old man before his ignorance can drive him to further harm.

Is this old man giving us the finger? Parrym asks herself, grumbling and somewhat upset that the Beast turned out to be so weak as to have her waste the second summoning of an Elemental.
Parrym casts Guidance on Amiri.
Amiri: you get an extra +1 to an Attack of your choice
Yes it went off, no it has not been five minutes. So Amiri is still buff from it. Also to note, the secret door next to Crove remains open.
Narayan swiftly enters the room and beats the old man into unconsciousness. As the Keeper loses consciousness, a tremendous voice cries out nearby, its syllables not quite recognizable words save for three ominous syllables: “YOG-SOTHOTH!”
You hear thunderous footsteps pounding the ceiling above as the spawn arrives and moves through the asylum. Looking down the corridor from whence you came you can see some of the lunatics, still bound and unconscious. The chains around the ankles of the lunatics outside rattle as something grabs hold of them and pulls them roughly out of sight, blood spraying back into view before the twisted and crumpled bodies fly in.
A horrific monster winks into view, its natural invisibility seeming to fail at this moment. An insane amalgamation of faces, teeth, and writhing tentacles the beast calls out those same syllables: "YOG-SOTHOTH!"

Spawn of Yog-Sothoth
Parrym, Amiri
This is an aberration (extraplanar) if the special blade didn't give it away...Also, the first time you get within 30 feet of it make a DC 22 Fort save (vs a poison effect) or be sickened for 10 rounds.
DC 25 Kn. (Dungeoneering):
This is a spawn of Yog-Sothoth. Although the spawn of Yog-Sothoth are naturally invisible, they exude a hideous and unforgettable stench. They are begotten upon the world as the results of vile rituals in which cultists call down the essence of Yog-Sothoth from beyond the stars to impregnate a humanoid creature, for the Outer God is not of this dimension or world; only by incorporating flesh and bone of a mortal can its spawn exist. Upon death, a spawn’s flesh rapidly melts until nothing but a crusty stain remains.
Ancient legend holds that the spawn of Yog-Sothoth are inflicted upon a world to clear it of all sane life and to prepare the way for the return of the Great Old Ones to their former dominion. Yet a spawn’s ravenous and constant thirst for blood may be just as responsible for driving it to heights of mayhem and destruction that mark its presence in a region.
DC 30 Kn. (Dungeoneering):
Spawn have many natural defenses, the least of which is its natural invisibility. They have mighty hides that only magic blades can cut through with ease, though being from another dimension magic does not hold onto them very well here SR. In addition they are immune to cold and heat fire, as they are used to different environs than what is found here. Again their strange body leads to interesting results as the damage sound can make is resisted heavily by their alien flesh.
DC 35 Kn. (Dungeoneering):
Spawn are extremely destructive, and if they are able to attack a large enough stationary target, like a building, they can shake and crumble it to its very foundation. In addition there are hundreds of tiny mouths along its tentacles, which drain victims of their blood should one hold on for long enough.

I only asked the above because since it was established that we do need to kill these "gentlemen," I assumed Narayan was going to do lethal damage, and so I took his attack on Crove for granted on that fact and did not read his post closely. It was only when you said "don't let the beast kill Crove" I went back and checked his post. Either way it's cool, it may even make this encounter more interesting! Anyhoo, I just saw that the good Inspector beat the beast on initiative and I know he is able to be counted on in this matter

My apologies, Amiri Huntresss. I thought that we had already casst the Sseeking Beasst from our world. Sstill, if we can end thiss monsstrossity now, Crove may yet earn a better peacce.
Narayan hastens through the room, calling up on his training as he does so; his fists soon drip with acid.
Now comes your fate, beasst!

The spawn shows up as soon as the last keeper loses consciousness. Too bad he couldn't escape to the green room where the monster would go for him immediately...

Narayan's initial blow cracks across the uppermost skull of the Spawn, causing it to slump down in pain.

"Miss Amiri, I strongly recommend using the smaller blade against this foe. I will handle the unconscious Keeper. You and Mr. Singh should concentrate on our new aberrant friend."
The Inspector closes with the Keeper and slices his throat.

"I hear you Amiri", Parrym calls out.
She tries the door right beside her, seeing if it will open--
• that is a Move action
• still 1 action & Meneldor's actions left
(the main goal is to have Meneldor enter the room and then for Parrym to open the other door-- but who knows what's in there?

I believe the steps Amiri has to climb is 2 spaces, which will put her exactly at the far door with a double move, and unable to try the door itself either way
"This thing could have at least had the decency to manifest in a more accessible area!"
It's the far door closer to the "bottom" of the room. I think the opaque square made Amiri's icon disappear within, I lost her in there. A dimensional rift within the room?

If the door opens, and there is no lunatic attacking her, Parrym still can have Meneldor move through the room, and then Parrym can open the next door

I do not want to remove your white squares hiding things.
What Parrym's action were was:
• having Parrym open the door to her left
• then, depending on what is inside-- have Meneldor move across, and have Parrym open another door on the opposite side if it goes through
Pendergast's blade ends the life of Keeper Crove, something which seems to affect the Spawn rather spectacularly as it screams in rage through its stupor.
Parrym opens the door to reveal a chair and a peephole into the adjacent cell. Still have standard or move action if you want to do something else. No way to get into the other cell from here.

Parrym will move (last move from round) to where the coup de grâce was just performed, and then if I am correct in have read that we know about this door Parrym opens the secret door, and then moves down the corridor.
At the end, there is no door right now, correct?
