Cile casts Detect Magic and surveys the room while trying to heal himself with his wand of cure light wounds.
He detects.

7 scrolls (magical)
a dagger (magical)
2 rings (magical)
3 wands (magical)
a flaming sword (magical)
2 rods (magical)
a book (magical)
a shield (magical)
a pair of boots (magical)
5 potions (magical)
and incense (magical)

He also notices a magical aura coming from the ceiling.
And just as he's using his 7th wand charge to fully heal himself, the source of the magical aura coming from the ceiling falls to the ground and reveals itself to be a helmet with a strong magical aura coming from it.

Then a strange grumbling noise, as if a large animal were upset, came from the ceiling of the treasure room. But Cile still couldn't spot where it was coming from.

As the light illuminated the treasure, Ehaism's eyes fixed on the flaming sword. He can feel his own sword growing jealous. I'll still always love you, he whispers to it... I just want HER too

Ehaism hears the grumbling noise, but he thinks it is his jealous sword.

Cile will wait for the third round of his Detect Magic to take effect and make some spellcraft checks to guestimate the schools of each item's effect.

Afterwards, he casts Summon Monster 1 to bring forth a Fiendish Hawk.

Whenever that happens appears, Cile will tell it to fly upwards and survey the area for the source of the "grumbling".

While it's doing that, Cile will approach the helmet and swap his hat of disguise for it.

Cile ignores the roar coming from above while he continues to examine the treasure.
The roar doesn't ignore him however. A hulking creature with an ovid body drops from the ceiling. It moves on six long tentacles instead of legs, and from between it's shoulders protrude a clavering mouth full of jagged, ripping teeth. It's skin shifts in color from one resembling the cave walls to a bright blueish.
Cile sees:
The aura's of the magical items close to the monster glowing dim.

One of the rods has an overwhelming aura.
a scroll, the dagger,the sword, the helmet, a ring and a wand all have moderate auras
the rest all have faint

the helmet has a conjuration aura.

Lao runs quickly back to the chasm to retrieve the rope and 10' pole so that he can at least shorten the drop down to where Cile and the monster are.
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy... So here's some lunchmeat... Sandwich, maybe?

Ehaism sees the monster below, he readies himself to fight, but how can he get down!?

Ehaism looks wildly at Vire. Vire will know what to do. Vire is smart!

Ehaism, unsure of what he should do, delays until Vire's action.

initiative
Lao
THE BEAST
Cile
Vire
Ehaism


The beast doesn't delay, however. A huge tentacle lashes out and grabs Cile. The force of the blow takes the wind out of Cile. (14 dmg) Having grappled Cile, the tentacle now squeezes and pushes small spikes into Cile's flesh. (7 dmg)
Cile feels weak, as if his strength has left him. And his hat stops providing any sort of disguise that it had been.

Image

Cile is grappled. Will he try to escape? or fight from his grappled position?
Will Vire save Cile from his beastly fate?
And can Ehaism provide any sort of help, even if he jumps?

Suddenly Ehaism is starting to feel insanely confident.

Jumping down into that pit feels like a great idea.

Ehaism is going to try to land directly on the beast's big squishy head. That will teach it to try and eat... that guy.

Ehaism leaps from high above. He falls down into the cave. His goal, to land on that big squishy monster and hopefully break more than his fall. He connects with a very soft and very critical part of the monster. (149dmg)
Cile watched a streak of a party member fall from above and then heard a loud bang. In an instant the monster's grip on Cile had all but vanished, and instead of the toothy maw of the unknown creature staring him in the face, there was now Ehaism. Ehaism was covered in purple gloo, and looked to be in a bit of bad shape, but might not have known it. (27dmg) By the proud look on his face, one might have thought Ehaism hadn't been hurt at all.

Combat over.

Everyone gets 1040 exp.
Cile gets an extra 200 exp.
Ehaism gets an extra 1000 exp.
Ribbon gets -400 exp.

After crawling out of the masive tentacle, Cile dusts off his Wand of cure light wounds to some cure light wounds on the giant lizard man and himself.

It takes 4 charges to heal Ehaism to full. And 3 charges for Cile.

Lao returns with the rope, after barely saying a word to Ribbon as he got it.
