As the players make thier way through the castle, everyone gets more and more excited about their finds and their character's exploits. Alabaster cheers on the players as they go, and as they start to reach the center of  the castle, he pulls out something shrouded under some fabric, building up the environment before revealing a large statuette of the beast, a multi headed puppilllar with scales, fearsome claws, and fire breath, all hand painted by Alabaster himself!

Chapter 5 - The Beast

As you step into the center of the castle, you enter a dark vast open space, its hard to tell exactlyhow vast it is because of how dark it is. At your feet lays a scattering on golden coins, its quiet in this chamber, but soon enough, it isn't. The room lights up with flames, emitting from the fearsome beast itself, sitting in the center of the massive room atop a glimmering pile of treasures.  Around the outskirts of the room, flames light in the wall sconces, giving everyone a view of the fearsome three-headed beast.

This is it, the final battle! Use all  your experience to best the beast, by however means possible!

Snowflake didn't wait a single second after the beast was revealed - he was already conjuring up one of his most powerful spells. It was a bit tricky, so he had to focus, but if it worked, he felt like he'd be able to freeze the entire thing into a block of solid ice! ...Probably. It'd at least do some kind of damage! Even thought it was a bit hard for him to concentrate while the rest of his party started to act, he took a deep breath. He was waiting for this moment.

Snowflake is rolling Nose to keep his focus!

The room is chaotic around Snowflake as the battle begins..

Snowflake rolls a 15 +5, for a total of 20, succeeding!

Despite the chaos in the room, Snowflake is able to stay focused on channeling his spell. A piece of rubble starts to fly towards him, but one of his companions is able to deflect it in the nick of time, allowing Snowflake to keep going.

The spell nears being ready, hopefully it can be cast without a hitch!

This was it! The defining moment - Snowflake felt his crystal ball chill to the touch, all he had to do now was cast. The rest of his party was already hard at work, nearly having defeated the beast already, but if he could land this last shot, their win would look really, Really cool. Excuse the pun.

Putting all his might into the spell, Snowflake is rolling Teeth to use it to attack the beast!

Snowstorm yelps a little when she sees the beast - it's far more terrifying than anything she'd seen on her previous adventures, and so big, too. She sees Snowflake start to cast a spell, but could they really beat something so huge with just brute force...?
With a split-second thought, Snowstorm takes an unlit torch from her backpack, lighting it with some of the fire on the wall. She steadies herself, and holds the flame aloft, waving it at the beast.
"H-hey!" She shouts, "You'd... better not get any closer!"

Snowstorm is rolling Teeth to try scaring the beast with the fire!

The beast roars at the adventurers...

Snowstorm rolls a 12, -3 for a total of 9, failing!

Snowstorm waves the torch wildly in front of her, jabbing it towards the beast. The beast is surprised a bit, one of its heads stares at Snowstorm, watching the torch for a moment, before blowing it out like a birthday candle.

The beast's head grins menacingly at Snowstorm, as the other two heads start to laugh a bit..

Gasha looked at the beast, heart trembling. She was tough, but the beast sure was terrifying. Not that she would allow anyone to know that. No matter how scared she was, she wouldn't allow anyone to know or call her a scaredy puppy! She gathered all her courage and pride, walking in front of the beast.

"Hey, you there! Look at me!" Gasha called, trying to get the beast's attention. "Desist right now if you want to live! Or you will have to face my wrath!" She showed her powerful bat.

Gasha wants to roll to intimidate the beast using her Teeth stat, please! Thank you!

The beast looms over Gasha, watching her carefully...

Gasha rolls a 17 +5, for a total of 22, succeeding!

The beast focuses its attention on Gasha, listening intently to Gasha's threats. Its expression is flat for a moment, but after a bit, it certainly seems to take her words to heart. The beast takes a look around the room, evaluating the adventurers that surround it.

The beast emits a low growl, slinking back slightly, leaving some of its treasure un-guarded before the adventurers. It hunches over the majority of its treasure, eyeing the adventurers carefully.

Raine carefully padded into the large room, and noticed others were doing the same. The beast was looming and the fire gave it a hideous red glare upon its scales.
She looked back and it seemed some of the party from earlier was coming up as well, but the monster in front of her looked like it wouldn't yield to simple brute blows.

While many Puppillars and Catsnails were beginning to face it in battle, she had a different plan...
"If I'm able to move while it's focusing on someone else, perhaps I may abscond with some of the treasure in the meanwhile. I'm not going to be strong enough to beat it, that's for sure!"

She realized it would take a few bounds and leaps, but the first task was to close the gap while getting closer to the Beast's hoard.

Raine rolls, using her Paws stat, for a good headstart on closing the distance with her agility and speed, to get half way across the room and closer to the hoard near the Beast.

(oh boy this is gonna take a few replies I imagine)

The glittering gold lays before Raine, and the beast as well..

Raine rolls a 5 +5, for a total of 10, failing!

Rain leaps nimbly through the battlefield a few times, but is soon stopped as a giant paw lands down in front of her, blocking her path. Raine looks up, watching the beast carefully, but its heads don't seem to take note of her, focused on other adventurers.

The beast lifts its paw again, striking towards another adventurer, giving Raine another chance to sneak by, or to maybe take the beast off guard with a surprise attack..

"Dangit!!" she panted, slightly in fear, as the paw nearly smacked her down. "What a monstrosity, I don't think anyone's going to best that thing." She thought.

Fearing the beast would best any strength displayed, she tries again to sneak past while the Beast is distracted.
"Maybe... a combination here..."

She rolls using her Paws stat to see if she can swiftly toss her dagger the paw farthest from her position to distract the Beast more solidly, and distract it from her position so she can sneak by!

Mochius enters the room trembling. Though her companions surround her, she can't help but think the entire group is totally outmatched. They shoot her comforting looks as the beast stomps its many feet and bellows at the intruders. She trusts them, but how can they be so sure they'll come out of this unscathed. She should have known this was a bad idea!

She reached for her boomerang and grips it tightly, ready for whatever might happen next. Though, as she looks down the line of her party, she can't help thinking that treasure is a stupid thing to die for. Peering down at the coins scattered before them, she frowns. "What if we just distract the beast, grab as much as we can carry, and leave?" She asks her companions softly. They all shoot her dubious looks.

"We're here for treasure. All of it," one of them responds, looking angry.

Mochius flattens her ears to her head. There had to be another way. Even if they could kill the beast, it felt wrong. "But we don't need to kill it, right?"

Her companions exchange looks. "Of course, Mochius..." They begin slowly. "We don't need to kill it. In fact, maybe you could distract it for us, and we can sneak around its back and get all the treasure we can."

She breaths a sigh of relief and nods. She slithers out ahead of the group while the rest duck back into the shadowy doorway. "Hello!" She shouts towards the beast, who only grumbles in response. It's heads are swinging wildly, trying to pinpoint the rest of the group. She can hear her companions slinking around behind her. "We've - I mean, I've come for your treasure!" She reaches down and picks up a handful of coins. She tosses them towards the beast with all her might.

She rolls Teeth, trying to (carefully) hit the beast on the side of one of its heads to draw its attention towards her.

The beast roars loudly as the adventurers start to attack, its different heads lashing about...

Mochius rolls a 13 +0, for a total of 13, succeeding!

Mochius hurls her boomerang at one of the beast's head, bopping it on the nose with her practiced aim. The beast's head wheels around, staring at Mochius. It tries to gesture towards its other two heads to get their attention, but they're focused on some other adventurers.

The head whines a bit, before turning back to Mochius, lashing out in attempts to sweep her off her feet.

Mochius watches with wide eyes as the beast's heads still seem trained on her companions. And they're... They're attacking the beast! They lied to her!

The beast is trying to knock her over and she dives out of it's reach. She has to figure out what to do, but the beast is lashing out at her as well as her party members. She hardly has a second to think.

"Stop! Everyone stop!" Mochius' cries fall on deaf ears. What should she do? Narrowing her eyes, she can see most of the beast's attention is still trained on her party members. She knows she needs to get closer to get everyone's attention. If she could just avoid the beast's wild paws!

Gritting her teeth, she decides to roll Paws. Maybe she could jump up onto the beast's leg as it slashes at her? She could climb up the leg! The heads would have to pay attention to her if she was right under their noses - literally!
