Ilios has been disqualified for not posting a summary at the conclusion of his post. The instructions were very clear on this point.

BELLONA: The jawbone seems to swell in Bellona's mouth. "Do I look key-shaped to you? Have you ever met a creature with bones that look like keys?" An unseen, but amused sounding voice inquired. The bone suddenly turned hot, burning the inside of Bellona's mouth and forcing her to spit the thing back into the sands. "Pity. I thought you were supposed to be the clever one."

MORIR: Nothing happens at his touch.

ELSA: Freezing the door has no effect. The ice seems to form on the outside of the door, rather than having the ability to freeze the core, or any wooden fibers. Her kicks only succeed in breaking off chunks of ice.

FIORE: As the stallion knocks, the jawbone (now laying in the sands) and in the same disembodied voice, makes a fake knocking sound in response. It sounds amused. As he pushes against the door, more ice falls.

DROM: At the sound of her singing, some unseen beast (presumably behind the door) begins to roar loudly. "SHUTUPSHUTUPS SHUT UP" The jawbone-voice yells.

BRISA: The objects she brings to the door are useless. However, as she tries the handle, she finds it turns quite easily. "FINALLY!" The jawbone roars. "Someone with some sense. Just because it has a keyhole, doesn't mean that it's locked." It concluded, scolding the group.

REI: Actions have no effect. She finds no other keys.

AMARIS: The laughter of the jawbone increased, but instead of the door being reflected in the mirror, only the rotting teeth of the jawbone became visible.

DESTRIER: Actions have no effect.

SILK: As Silk pushes the key into the already open door, it opens a crack further.

AMANI: Again, laughter from the jawbone. "Child, does the door appear attached to anything? Do those hinges hold it to this beach? No? THEN WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO TO MELT THEM."

While the Jawbone was speaking, the door had opened itself slightly wider.

Then a little wider.

Then a little more.

What emerged was rather....odd.

It looked roughly like a large reptile, covered in patches of thick, coarse, black, hair. It squeezed through the door, knocking those immediately in front of it out of its way. As it pushed through, it seemed to grow in size; the body which left the door, surely could never fit back into it. Its head was easily 30 hands high - roughly the height of two horses standing on top of one another. Its back was about 5 horses high, and the length of its body about 20, with a 10-horse length tail.

It moved with uncanny speed forward, having heavily webbed appendages that allowed it to plow through the sands with ease. A long and barbed forked tongue slid from beneath its scaled reptilian lips. The few scales that could be seen beneath its patchy fur, glistened brightly in the sun, as it moved away from the group, having pulled itself out of the door completely. The long tail of the creature snapped back and forth trying to deter the group from following it.

If they looked carefully as the thing moved, each step shifting its body from side to side, they might notice a pouch on its belly. They might also notice that the pouch did not appear to be empty.

In fact, it appeared to have an egg.

"Well, what are you waiting for? KILL IT."

As a reminder, your posts must stay under 600 word, and must include a summary. The creature has a predetermined amount of HP, and the outcomes of certain attacks (physical vs. magical vs. companion vs. any thing else you might think of) are also predetermined.

You have 48 hours to respond.
