Razhel shoves the ring into her pouch. There would be time later to better examine the ring, she thought. She joins the others following after the man with the hat.

As you step a little further north you find yourself in an area where two hallways meet. A portion of the western hallway has collapsed, blocking it with tons of rubble.
A creature, much like two you previously ran into (one chained in the boiler room, the other a limbless-torso floating in one of the water vats of the laundry room) is clawing and scrabbling at the rubble. Grim, with his keen sight, can see the creature's fingers appear raw, bloody, and stripped of flesh.
The creature does not appear to realize your presence and continues to dig and claw its way into the rubble, hissing and panting sporadically as it does so.
OOC:
Everyone please make a Will save vs fear.So long as it's still distracted, if you enter a space within 10ft of the creature please make a stealth roll to remain undetected. Otherwise, if you wish to maneuver around it, you can easily do so, but please indicate so in your post should you wish to explore further north. You may, of course, return the way you came as well.

Iosef peeks around the corner as they approach the hallway and catches sight of the gruesome creature.
"W-what is this thing?" he whispers.

Everyone prepares to strike while the creature continues to claw at the rubble. It seems intent on trying to get through for some reason.
OOC:
Iosef is 'spooked' for 2 minutes. It appears everyone is ready for a fight - you'll have to initiate it at this point. Everyone please do the following with your next post:
- Roll initiative
- Advise what map coordinates you end your surprise round action on
- Post your action for a surprise round. As a reminder, a surprise round allows only one standard action OR one move action, not both.
[ +- ] "Spooked"
The nature of your surroundings or events that you have witnessed makes you uneasy. You take a –2 penalty on saving throws against fear effects and on Perception checks, as your mind conjures potential horrors in every shadow. However, you are ready to face danger, and gain a +1 circumstance bonus on initiative checks. This level of fear will not inhibit psychic spell-casting as other levels of fear do.

OOC:
I wasn't sure how exactly I was going to handle this. Reminder again that for surprise rounds, you get one move action OR one standard action, NOT both. For the actions above in instances where two actions were presented, I'm going to have the first one play out in the surprise round as follows. The secondary action you posted will be part of your Round 1 actions.Axon calls down a stream of icy motes upon the creature just as Elias closes upon it. None of the small meteorites appear to make contact with the creature, in spite of it being caught unawares - pure luck on its part. It's attention has nonetheless been captured.
**Round 1 Begins**
OOC:
Everyone except Grim, go ahead and complete your round 1 actions in your next post. So far I have:-Elias Attacks w/ result of 7 (leaving him with a move action if he'd like)
-Razhel attacks w/ result of 12 (@RageRed - studied target requires a move action - why don't we say that was your one action during the surprise round, then you move and attack during round 1? This would keep your attack results, but you won't have any actions left for round 1 - please let me know if this works for you.)

Iosef looses a bolt at the creature but it sails harmlessly into the rubble nearby. As it wheels around, he tries to catch a better look at it. "This creature - it's a ghoul! We must be wary, lest it paralyze us all!"
The monsterous humanoid, similar to the ones you saw in the west wing of the Asylum but this time unfettered, bites at Elias, then rakes at him with its claws. Each of its strikes fails to find purchase, however, and Elias remains unharmed.
