Can You Hold On?

Castille hurts it, but it is a scratch on the darkness. The fiend lashes out, but I already described its action for this round (#5) in my previous post.

Kaspar has chosen to end round 5 with a retreat action. Unless he spends the entire round making the withdraw action, he is subject to an attack of opportunity. So essentially you can fumble for the knob, and yes it is there and unlocked (and untrapped, the builders of this area figured the fiend as a sufficient trap), but you can't open the door this round (a move-equivalent action) or you are subject to the AoO as I said.

Although Castille has hurt it, the fiend is enjoying making Kaspar squirm. He starts to lunge for Kaspar, but then thinks about Castille, and then realizes that he has only one round yet.

"No," he says. "Nooo!!! I must kill you both or I will be..."

We now begin round 6. Describe Castille's action (Castille may be subject to an AoO if he casts now). Don't describe Kaspar's yet because the fiend is not sure what to do, and he may not be near Kaspar (or he may be on top of him biting him in half). Once you post our round 6 action, I will post the fiend's last action (as he is gone after 6 rounds), and Kaspar can get in a parting shot if he wants.

Oh, and make a Listen check for Kaspar at -5 due to the fight.
