After being slashed with the beasts claw, Bengal wobbles on her feet for a moment and then collapses into a heap on the ground, her body completely rigid.
Fortunately Loren sends his sword forward, slashing neatly through the creature, causing it to fall in two pieces.
The room behind the creature looks to be completely empty, lacking any furniture of decorations. When the monster drops, the door seems to start to swing closed on its own as if propelled.
Kolgun or Thel(since you were moving to get up there and your turn was next) can make a DC 12 Reflex save since they are next to it to interpose themselves in the doorway to stop it. Otherwise it will slam shut.
loren will check bengal over, is she still breathing?

She is still breathing, but is unable to move.
If one of you wants to make a healing check.
Heal DC 15
Heal DC 20
Looks over at Bengal, gently prodding her to make sure she's still alive before turning to the creature that froze her.
Although far from nimble, Kolgun steps forward as the door begins to swing shut to prevent the room from being sealed again.
He sets his shield down, using it to keep the door from completely closing, then turns his attentions to his friend who was injured in the short, but nasty brawl.
Reflex / Heal Check (1d20+1,1d20+7=[14, 1] 15, [12, 7] 19)
"The foul beast's touch seems to have paralyzed Bengal. But she seems to be recovering, even now. I don't believe the effects will last long."
Kolgun searches through his healing kit to see if there's a salve or ointment that will shorten the duration of the paralysis or ease any discomfort.
Thel is a moment too late to grab the door as he worries over Bengal's condition, and is unable to stop the door from closing..

Kolgun manages to put his bulk between the door and the wall, the heavy door thumps solidly against his shield and seems to be applying a steady pressure as if it is trying to close on its own but he is able to keep it open.
Even after just taking a few moments to try and look through his supplies Bengal seems to shake off the effects and is able to somewhat painfully stretch her muscles again.
"Looks like that door is going to stay shut if we leave it alone. I'll wait here while you search the room," and offers to take over the shield.
Kolgun takes his shield with a word of thanks to Thel, then begins searching the room that seems to be trying to close itself off. . . .
He also muses over who, or what, would keep such a beast locked away and for what purpose?

Looking around the small room, it does appear well and truly barren with no other exits or any furniture to hide any goods. However as you look around you manage to disturb a bit of dust on the ground revealing some sort of magical symbol set in the stone itself.
Its not immediately clear what it is for, though you do catch the symbol of the moon goddess Galarias inset within it.
Spellcraft DC 17
Knowledge(Arcana) DC 17
Kolgun delicately sweeps the dust off the symbol. He takes a moment to examine it, but finds that beyond the religious significance of the symbol of the moon goddess Galarias, he is unable to glean any other potent or power from it.
He shakes his head, and looks to the others. Perhaps their training will provide some answers . . ..

loren explains that The circle has an aura of necromancy.
and The circle seems similar to a magic circle, but it is obviously more powerful and seems to be designed either for the summoning or creation of undead. bad magic!
Bengal lies on the floor while she waits for the monster's effects to wear off, and when it finally does, she stays there just a moment longer, sighing.
kolgun can we remove some of the stones where the circle is?
Kolgun inspects the stones to see if there is a spot where he could place a chisel to pry apart the necromantic circle. Such things should not be left intact.
Kolgun returns his work-hammer and chisel to his pack.
"Should we dispatch the beast that lurks in the next room, or continue our exploration?"
From his tone, it appears that he doesn't like the idea of leaving such a foul creature left alive, so to speak.
let us kill the other beast, otherwise someone else less prepared may come across it
Heads over to the second northern door, and listens at it, trying to determine what might be on the other side.
Daggers ready, he looks over at the rest of the party, getting ready to kick the door in.

When Thel moves over to the next door and leans in close to it to listen better, the scratching seems to be the same as what you heard coming from the previous room. However, just getting close to the door there is a horrible stench of rot and decay coming from the other side that threatens to make him bring up his meal. Clearly there is something foul back there.
Looking down at his shirt, he untucks it from his waistband, and slices a piece off, a pained look on his face as the fabric tears. Wrapping the swatch of cloth around his nose and mouth, he ties it like a bandanna, getting ready to open the door.
"Something foul in this room..."
Kolgun joins Thel at the door, and nods that he's ready to move on the foul being in the room.
Prior to moving from the room Kolgun considered the magical circle and the beast's effect on Bengal. Alas, his study leaves some to be desired . . .
Know - Religion (x2) (1d20+5,1d20+5=[7, 5] 12, [3, 5] 8)
He readies himself by the door for whatever may be waiting on the other side.
After getting up, she follows Thel, widening her eyes at what he mentions. She then draws her weapon, preparing.
loren will place himself behind Thel and cast mage armour on himself and protection from evil on thel (or whoever is opening the door) if he will allow it
ok no problem! iniative =13
if bengal is opening the door then i will put prot evil on her

Loren casts his protectionary spell upon Bengal as she works at the lock on the door. It only takes her a moment again before the lock clicks and the door creaks open.
The team seems more ready this time then the last when the foul creature standing comes into view, its rotting flesh hanging loosely on its frame. The smell that wafts from it is horrible, enough to make you all gag.
Fort Save DC 15
im confused do you not want us to roll fortitude saves?
attack 20
damage 12
damage http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2114315/
As the door opens Kolgun's senses are slammed by the foul creature's noxious odor . . .
Fort save (door 3e) (1d20+3=11)
Thel gags on the smell when the door opens, and nearly loses his breakfast. Unable to get the sickly odor out of his nose, he struggles on, not quite as fast in his movements as he covers his face with the crook of his elbow between attacks.

With the door swung open and the horror revealed, Loren is quick on the attack, his blade swiping sharply across its chest, splitting open flesh and releasing further noxious odor into the room. The wound seems to simply anger the meat hungry beast.
Aldrin thrusts forward his attack in rapid response, but the nausea caused by the stench catches up with him before he completes it, his vomiting forcing the swing wide, the fist connecting to the door frame with a loud 'thump'.
In the cramped quarters Kolgun unleashes his Acid Dartat the beast . . .
Attack / Acid (1d20+2,1d6+1=[15, 2], [3, 1])
