Varya was convulsing in agony, audibly screaming from the pain. He must have done something especially heinous in a previous life to be inflicted with such physical suffering. After what felt like felt like forever the aftershocks finally dissipated, the runes disappeared and the bars opened wide. He didn't know how it happened, but he was thankful. Varya two handed his war-hammer, turned to Veronica and looked her in the eyes poignantly. He put his shirt over his mouth and nose to filter some of the toxins lingering in the air.

If you have anything else in mind I'm all ears."[/color] The situation was bad. He could only hope their mysterious benefactor could distract the beast long enough for them to escape to less treacherous terrain, then just maybe they just might have a chance to bring the beast down. 

Varya looked at the fire standing between them and the stairs. He knew he would have to run across the burning floor with great speed to escape. Considering he was barefoot, he steeled himself for the pain he would have to endure if he were to survive. This was going to hurt.
