[With what must be a beast on the other side of the door, it was looking more and more like 'foe' rather than 'friend' and Dion nods, joining Clive at the door, nodding as he takes a similar position, halberd held at the ready, but behind him.]
On three.
[Though neither of them has the chance to count as the beast beyond the door finds purchase enough in the rotted wood and bursts through. At first it's a whirlwind of thrashing claws and gnashing teeth, two yalms long if it's an ilm, with two limbs capped with scythe-like claws, it's an eyeless beast covered in smooth scales that seem to ripple as it moves. It's lower half in a finned tail, barbed and razer sharp ridges along it's back spines, designed for cutting through earth and stone.
A subterranean beast, then.
Dion brings the haft of his lance about just in time to catch those jaws and instinct sends a burst of energy through the weapon as he pushes back, causing a small wave of force to send the beast back into the room, the light accompanying it revealing the trundled earth in the floor and the tunnel the beast had created to bring it here.
More scraping can be heard from the tunnel. The stunned tunneler trying to pull itself from the far wall isn't alone.]
