Normont's eyes go wide as the monstrosity comes into view, and his finger squeezes the trigger more out of shock than intent.
Reaction: Readied attack with pistol Attack - To Hit: 18+5=23, Damage: 4+3=7 [magical piercing]
As the aberration comes fully into view, Normont can't help but take a step back, even as he feels Amber's quivering become more intense. And then he sees the fabric of the Grey Hunter uniform.
"Nuts and Bolts!. Whatever that thing is now, I think it used to be a Grey Hunter from Whitestone!".
As the creature charges towards them, Normont back pedals as much as he can, but not before firing off another round at it.
"Your turn Amber, the best defence is a good offence", he says in Gnomish, encouraging her to attack as well.
Amber then takes to the sky moving to within 30' and spews forth a bolt of force at the creature, before retreating and staying airborne out of reach.
Special: Bardic Inspiration 1d6 Action: Attack with pistol - To Hit: 4+5=9, Damage: 3+3=6 [magical piercing] Bonus Action: Command Amber to attack Movement: Backs away 25' if safe to do so Amber Movement: Takes to the sky and heads to within 30' Amber Action: Force Strike: - To Hit: 12+4=16, Damage: 1+2=3 [force] Amber Movement: Flies up and away with her remaining movement (Total 30')
Quinn charged at the horrific form, slashing up across its shoulder in a gout of red-black blood, it screamed an all too human scream and rounded on him, his attempt to compel it having little effect.
Normont fired but slipped slightly on the black-slick ground and his round thudded into the rock wall, Amber was more successful sending a blast into its side.
The creature screamed again its eyes flicking between Quinn and Magnus. It charged towards Normont lashing out with a knuckled tentacle, another whipped out to grasp Quinn. As it did so a well of green bubbling liquid began to build within its maw....
Vs Normont Attack: 19 Damage: 7
Vs Quinn Attack: 17 Damage: 12
Tentacle. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. bludgeoning damage, and if the target is a Medium or smaller creature, it has the grappled condition (escape DC 15) and the restrained condition until this grapple ends. The mutate has two tentacles that can grapple one target each.
Magnus yells out, "Be careful of that maw all, I do not want to find out the hard way what happens if it bites you!" As another ball of purple forms in his hand as he throws it at the creature.
Lokilia suddenly transforms into a brown bear. She runs up alongside Quinn to attack the misshapen creature. (Bite Attack: 26 (crit); Damage: 12 piercing) (Claw Attack: 14; Damage: 12 slashing)
Bonus Action: Combat Wild Shape Move: bear up to 40 ft. Action: bear Multiattack
Magnus' blast smashes into the rock wall as 300lbs of bear smashes into the pitiful horror, Lokilia almost immediately regrets her decision to bite into it as she spits out a chunk of foul tasting flesh, it backs away from her claws before they can connect.
Normont squirms and wriggles trying to escape the tentacle that has wrapped itself around him.
"Amber, help get this off me. Blast it!", he calls out in Gnomish.
If he manages to escape he will simply stand his ground, not wanting to get hit as he retreats, and hoping the form of the large brown bear might distract the monstrous creature.
Amber swoops in and sends another bolt of force at the monstrosity before moving away again.
Action: Acrobatics check to escape grappled condition - 9+2=11 (Fail!) Bonus Action: Command Amber to attack Amber Movement: Swoops in to within 30' of Monstrosity Amber Action: Force Strike: - To Hit: 16+4=20, Damage: 1+2=3 [force] Amber Movement: Flies up and away with her remaining movement (Total 30')
‘Yesterday I found you in his arms / Seducing him with all your charms
You know you really hurt me so / I need you and I won't let go’
Dev moonwalks backwards from the creature, to a spot out of view behind a tree or boulder during an instrumental break.

Devs performance seemed to have an effect on the creature and it immediately backed away from him and back through the crevasse, dragging Normont and Quinn with it as its body compressed and deformed to fit through the narrow gap.....
Normont was unable to escape from its clutches and Quinn didn't even try; trying instead to wound it. Amber released a blast that scorched its pale flesh.
Now it was alone in the cavern with Normont and Quinn in its tentacles it attempted to shove Normont into its mouth and smashed Quinn between the cave wall and itself.
For those outside it was hard to tell what was going on within.....
Bite vs Normont ( Advantage from Restrained)- Attack: 23 Damage: 9
Slam vs Quinn DC 15 Con Save or 10 Bludgeoning.
( Magnus and Lokilia are up. The bear will fit through the gap, but will use half movement to do so. Can still enter melee with the creature.)
Lokilia in bear form lets out a brief growl as the creature seems to be trying to escape with two of her companions. She pushes into the narrow space to go after it, getting close enough to again attack with tooth and claw. (Bite Attack: 19, Damage: 12) (Claw Attack: 19, Damage: 10)
Magnus follows after the retreating creature letting the melee fighters in first then once inside he will sidestep to the right keeping his back against the cave wall, making room for the others to enter. Another ball of purple light grows in his hand and he throws it at the creature, aiming at what he thinks is it heads.
Eldritch Blast: To hit: 16 Damage: 6
And then seeing Normont's body go limp will mumble some magic as his left hand glows with a golden light that stretches out to Normont and warps him in a healing embrace. (BA to cast Healing Word for 4 points of healing.)

Quinn being now pretty hurt will yell out, "I could use some healing"
Attack: 11
Damage: 9
Smite (if hit): 12 + 5 (If Undead or fiend)
A nervous, hyperactive rhythm emanates from Dev as he gives voice to the shambling monstrosity’s cruelty. Carried in the words, silently, the same piercing assault as before, attacking whatever passes for a brain lies within the chaotic mess of limbs and organs.
