Ok, problem solved, apparently I was experiencing some sort of glitch. Usually when I enter the room with the beast, it is a movie sequance where he kills the main guy but this time as I was trying some of the seggestions you guys gave, the beast killed the leader in game instead of in a movie and my party very quickly killed the beast, no problem. I may have chose and different diologue this time so this could be some sort of diologue bug like in the Hidden Jedi Base. Wierd.
