As the blast was headed for him, chi curled up in a defensive ball. 

The young vampire looks up concerned, first to Ash, and then to Astra "He lives, but it's bad." 

As the shadow beasts build up, Chi hisses lowly, backing up and keeping his eyes on the tank. Its a long wait, but the lid of the tank eventually pops open. One can see flashing red lights going inside it too and a beeping sound. The person that crawls out is a really skinny and scaly reptilian man. He puts his hands up slowly as he climbs to stand by the tank, but he doesnt look too worried.

Astra frowns slightly, worried about any tricks but also distracted, shuddering as some of her own shadow magic is drawn in towards Ash. 

Jeb creates a magic circle and then slips his hand into a ripple in the air, pulling out two very large knives, "Gotta love a girl that can defend herself....ready to clean up?"
