The Chuul drops Valar and howls in pain as it's hit by all the weaponry, clearly very hurt now. It stumbles to the side and knocks over the body on the ground next to the pool, and you see the face of the person. It's Sanford, the man who attacked you over two weeks ago in the Proud Stag of Erithon. You see that he is unconcious.
Amiz strikes at the Chuul with his axe while still Grappled in the Pincer but can't get a hit with the Pincer blocking his strike. The Chuul looks like it wants to make it's way back in the pool, but when Thelanis steps forward, it's bug eyes round on her sword and it strikes out with both it's Pincers:
Pincer 1 against Thelanis Attack: 8 Damage: 14 Piercing
Pincer 2 against Thelanis Attack: 7 Damage: 13 Piercing
Amiz if thrashes against being grappled and tries to break free

He then backs away behind his teammates.

As a bonus action, you magically gain the following benefits, which last for 1 minute:
- If you are smaller than Large, you become Large, along with anything you are wearing. If you lack the room to become Large, your size doesn’t change.
- You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
Thelanis lashes out with her sword at the Chuul rampaging toward her, she scores a critical hit! (in game log) and lops off one of the Chuul's arms. It howls in a squealing incomprehensible howl and tries to climb back into the pool, but falls to the ground instead. The Chuul writhes for a bit on the floor and finally collapses, dead.
A silence overcomes the pool underneath the church, almost peaceful. And you all stand there with the dead Chuul halfway in the water, and the unconscious form of Sanford on the ground near you.
Thelanis looks at the ichor staining her sword with disgust, then dismisses and resummons it with a flourish. “Let’s see what else is here and find someplace relatively calm to catch our breath.”

Draíocht recovers the tavern knives from the chuul as Valar checks on the unconscious Sandford.
"A calm place to catch our breath sounds wise." he says in reply to Draíocht. "Though if that thing came from the water we might want to do so upstairs."
As Valar looks around as he walks toward Sanford, he notices some glimmering in the pool of the Chuul. Perhaps something in there. As for Sanford, it's hard to tell his medical state. In the darkness of this dungeon it's hard to tell weather he's alive and just unconscious, or dead.
Valar will investigate what is in the pool that is glimmering, "I may have something here," he'll call out to the group. "Not sure about Sanford though."
Draíocht sees there's no other threats as Valar heads over to the pool. Down there he sees a couple of things, one looks to be a sword, while the other is an amulet.
Amiz nudges Sanford and the insane man stirs a little, he's still alive it seems.
Valar will reach in and retrieve the sword and the amulet. When he brings it to the surface, he will examine the sword because he is hoping it is better than the one he has. He will also look at the amulet. Perception: 5, investigation: 13
The sword certainly seems glamourous. You're finding it hard to determine anything with the smell and memory of the Chuul still taking up space in the pool.
As you start to exit the basement, you notice a sort of gleaming light forming at the base of the statue of Araevos. Strange, seeing as how you are so far underground, it doesn't seem like the light has any specific source. All of you now feel the pull to kneel at the base of the statue.
Who will commit to following the light of Araevos/Tyr?

Once more Draíocht takes another dart and throws it at the chuul.

When it can't get a grip on her, it instead uses it's Tentacles against Amiz:
Amiz makes a DC 13 CON Save: 16 or becomes Poisoned, while he is Poisoned like this he is also Paralyzed.
You all are up. The Chuul is very hurt, and trying to attack Thelanis, while it also has Amiz grappled in it's Pincer.

Draíocht has an admiring smile as the leonin grows in size. He then takes another tavern knife and throws it at the chuul.

Still a large size Amiz will grab Sanford and haul him upstairs to a drier place and where there is more light.
He will then give him a nudge to see if he is still kicking.
As Valar checks out the glimmering, Draíocht keeps an eye out for any signs of coming. Whether ripples in the water or unusual sounds / smells.
