The coral in Thariv's hand pulsates, throbbing with energy, just before the monsters appear, as if his patron is somehow giving him warning.
So Thariv is ready when the creatures attack. Almost without thinking, he conjures a monstrous tentacle the size of three of the nasty little creatures. The 10-foot tentacle lashes out at the monster Luther has already struck with his arrow.
Thariv holds the coral in his fist and generates a blast of arcane power that he sends shooting at one of the monsters. ((The already-injured one if it is still up; if it's down, the other one))
Bonus Action: Summon Tentacle of the Deep and attack with it. Attack: 10 Damage: 7 cold damage, speed reduced by 10 if it hits
Thariv's summoned tentacle trashes around, but misses the tiny creatures attacking the group. His eldritch blast hits one straight up, combined with Luther's arrow leaves it on the brink of death.
Jumped by the tentacles and catching sight of Thariv's tentacles vs. tentacles action, Cupcake squeaks while Ryo jumps back, avoiding to be involved between his two grappled companions and quickly pulls his bow, aiming and firing a swift shot.
The monster moves away from the summoned tentacle. It's sudden movement gitting it out of the way of Thariv's eldritch blast, but directly in the path of Luther's bolt. The bolt digs itself deep into the monster, putting it down for good.
The remaining moster flails against Ryota with its remaining tencle without letting go. Attack: 19 Damage: 2
Thariv magically moves the tentacle to where it can attack the remaining monster. He follows up again with another shot of dark, oceanic power from his coral talisman.
Tentacle of the Deep Attack: 12 Damage: 7 cold damage, slowed by 10 if hit
Luther drops his bow and draws his rapier to attack the last creature, keen to use the right tool for the job (and assuming that Thariv didn't rob him of the opportunity!)
The monster dodges the magical tentacle once again, but its hit by Thariv's eldritch blast. It recoils in pain, allowing Luther to finish it off with an accurate rapier strike.
OOC: combat is over, time to go back to the main thread.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Luther withdraws as safely as possible, hoping that he will gain a range advantage if there is one to be had. Pulling his bow to full tension, he looses the nocked arrow with a cry of "Seelah!"
Attack: 22 Damage: 8
Edit: Firing at the woman, meant to specify. Not sure it will matter with those rolls...
Luther knows that he is too close to his attacker to aim accurately, so holds his nerve and shoots at the creature that is grappling Ryota:
Attack: 26 Damage: 7
Edit: Second attack roll for disadvantage 27
Initiative 14

Woman's initiative: 17
Choker initiative: 13
I have Ryota's prerolled initiative at 5 and Luther's at 19. We only need Thariv's to start.
