The Beast thunders towards the battered barbed devil that had been harassing Xerath and smashes into him.

The spirit-talker's gesture works for getting the huge bestial spirit's attention. He whirls and turns his terrifying wrath on the barbed vermin that was manhandling Derek.

The Beast got a sexy new avatar.
Yeah, the Beast’s temps are still healthy.
Reflex: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 1 + 2 = 34
Once again moving with incredible grace for a creature of his size and bulk, the Beast evades Xerath’s blast of flame as it ripples through the mass of Eccarian’s soldiers.
He roars as he continues to tear through what remains of the devils.

Despite the tiny wound in his spiritstuff, the Beast continues his thundering rampage. Cataclysm screams as it flies through the air cleaving into the swarming mercenaries.

Finding his call to battle answered, and by so many, the huge bestial spirit exults. He whirls high overhead before cleaving and then stomping into the many manlings foolish/brave enough to challenge him.

The Beast whirls his enormous weapon overhead and roars a challenge before cleaving into the devils surrounding him.

Extra Damage: 6d8 + 70 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 1, 4, 6) + 70 = 90
The attacks against his shadow-stuff form bounce harmlessly off of the spirit's hide and magical defenses.
The Beast grabs the offered weapon from Yahirma's hands and with a roar brings it down in a titanic cleaving blow.

A titanic roar fills the square as Maddok's ritual is finished and the nearby shadows coalesce into Shu-Ak’eh-Di's mighty form. The beastly spirit pummels the nearby fiends and then bellows a command.

Unable to bear the disappointment any longer, the Beast disappointing into formless smoke and shadow.
Will: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 14 + 2 = 30
The Beast bellows in defiance at the devil's death cry.
No problem. Thanks for the warning.
He/it’s effectively helpless. You could just CdG him.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea if dragging him out onto the street and having Derek strike him down. Who better than the actor?
The Beast isn't one to contribute meaningfully in planning for this situation.
I really have no ideas what to do with our pet fiend. Marching out into the street with him seems like a bad idea... Unless it was to make his defeat more public...
We don't have a way to do that in a timely manner.
Anything local? Do we have the location of another Council safehouse?
I feel like we should do something big before we have to return the rental.
Any suggestions?
The Beast recovers from the buffeting wave of negative force only to find the gift of battle denied to him. The massive bovine snorts and shakes his head in disdain, but restrains himself for now. He thunders his disapproval.
Shoanti wrote: "WE MUST SEEK OUT BATTLE. IF NOT WITH THIS DARK SPIRIT, THEN WITH A GREATER FOE."
Assuming we're out of combat, I think we're going to be waiting on direction from the Yahirma-fiend.
Yahirma explained the plan here.
Without hesitation, the Beast strikes down the living cage.
Attack with Bloodrage, inspire, haste: 1d20 + 19 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 19 + 4 = 36
Damage: 3d8 + 33 + 3 ⇒ (8, 4, 2) + 33 + 3 = 50

Damage: 3d8 + 33 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 7) + 33 + 3 = 48
And thankfully so. That’s a lot of potential damage!
The Beast roars again, pausing briefly to bat the flailing chains aside skillfully. When an opening presents it, the bestial spirit strikes three more times.
Attack with Bloodrage, inspire, haste: 1d20 + 19 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 19 + 4 = 35
Damage: 3d8 + 33 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 3) + 33 + 3 = 44

Damage: 3d8 + 33 + 3 ⇒ (4, 7, 3) + 33 + 3 = 50
Yeah, we rested.
Further enraged by Derek’s warcry, the bestial spirit thunders forward and cleaves into the animate cage with his mighty halberd.
Attack with Bloodrage, inspire, haste: 1d20 + 19 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 19 + 4 = 27
Damage: 3d8 + 33 + 3 ⇒ (5, 3, 6) + 33 + 3 = 50
The Beast roars as Yahirma's spell stirs his fury.
Holding out for Derek's actions.
The Beast accepts his weapons from the pale spirit-talker and snorts filling the air with star motes and wisps of smoke. He nods in approval at her enhancement.
I think we're good for the door opening and initiative rolling. =P
A moment later, Maddok's ritual completes and the shadowy Beast envelops him crowding the otherwise wide hallway.
As his form becomes solid, he answers Appario with a thunderous roar.
Let's do it!
The Beast alternates between snorting impatiently and sniffing the air.
Anything that can be determined with scent here?
The Beast rumbles impatiently and paws the grounds with his shadowy hooves.
Shoanti wrote: "WAR HAS LITTLE NEED FOR ANSWERS. BE QUICK ABOUT IT LITTLE BROTHER. WE HUNGER FOR BATTLE." Let's check out that library.
I believe it's talking about the paperwork the mayor gave us. Xerath has it I think.
The Beast follows Derek, eager to find worthy opponents but disappointed to not battle the creature bearing a mockery of his mighty image.
Approaching the creature of living gears, the bestial spirit growls unhappily once again. More abominations...
The Beast snorts and paws the ground impatiently.
Derek I think we need you to use the ring.
The Beast discards the slain abomination and snorts sending a mix of steam and star motes into the air. He takes his weapon from Yahirma and returns a grateful nod.
After conjuring a protective ward. The bestial spirit leads the way through the open doors.
Shield
With a rising growl, the Beast seizes the monster's mouth parts while forcing its body into the ground.
Pin: 1d20 + 33 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 33 + 2 + 5 = 48
Oh, sorry about that. I get overly dependent on hero lab. I'll fix it when I get home. I missed the bit about shield expiring. Even with your amazing diligence, it's hard to keep track of the passage of time sometimes.
Once the shroud of magical darkness has vanished, the Beast bellows a thunderous challenge and charges into the room. Once he's in range, he lunges for the demon-spider with his meaty hands.
Not sure on the specific effect of the webs. If they impede movement in a meaningful way, the Beast will try leaping as close to the enemy as possible. Rage and drop his weapon once he's adjacent.
Grapple with Heroism: 1d20 + 33 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 33 + 2 = 47
Assuming Yahirma's plan was relayed to him, the Beast will forgo the Stoneskin in favor of moving in to attack once the Darkness is down.
Shoanti wrote: "THE DARKNESS CANNOT PROTECT YOU." The Beast gestures and hardens its shadowy form.
Downranking for a Stoneskin.
The Beast sniffs the air and then emits a thundering growl.
Shoanti wrote: "ABOMINATIONS" Can anyone have Daylight?
Okay.
With his host's form mended, the Beast follows behind the tiny armored man eager for battle.
With an unusual amount of deference, the Beast takes the massive weapon from Yahirma and offers her Maddok’s comparatively tiny hammer in exchange. He snorts and paws the ground as she mends Maddok’s bloodied form within the bestial spirit’s shadowy flesh. Do we have reason to believe that the pitfiend’s prison is near?
After the thorns scrape up the Beast's shadow-stuff form, the bestial spirit is more careful around the rest of the dangerous flora.
He pauses and rumbles down at Yahirma in the Shoanti tongue.
Shoanti wrote: "WE WILL BE ARMED. OUR WEAPON SPIRIT-TALKER." I believe we agreed on Yahirma as weapon caddy. =)
Also, Maddok is still pretty hurt.
Can the Beast squeeze to avoid further damage?
As Maddok’s chant reaches a crescendo, the shadows pull towards him and somehow become more substantial. This shadow-stuff piles onto the big shoanti’s brawny frame in waves and shifts in shape until Shu-Ak’eh-Di’s familiar bovine shape appears. With a thundering roar, the bestial spirit discards his host’s hammer and lumbers forward. He lunges and drives his horns into the nearest drake’s underbelly with enough force to tear a tree from the earth.
Gore with haste, heroism, and inspire: 1d20 + 16 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 5 = 37
Damage: 1d8 + 20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 2 = 27
