The woman looks intensely at Tariv's eyes while muttering something in a language none of you recognize. Deathfang hisses at her and she turns her attention to the cat.
Luther's arrow impacts the tentacle rising from the woman's back, she is not looking as confident as before. She shouts something in the same language as before in a commanding tone. The small tentacle monster hiding behind one of the statues comes out of hiding and rushes forward, ending its movement 10 feet away from Ryota. Its tentacles extend and flail at the human. Attack: 10 Damage: 2 Attack: 14 Damage: 2
((OOC: Thariv will move up if necessary to get within 10 feet of woman))
Thariv feels the ancient power of the reef surging through the coral, coursing through his body in a way he still does not understand. He snarls at the female creature, and suddenly it is tentacle vs. tentacle as the tentacle of the deep shimmers into existence beside the woman. It lashes at her as Clipper crouches behind Thariv's legs, hissing and puffed up.
"YOU FOOL!"Thariv's voice rumbles from his chest, a deep echoing rumble like a roaring wave, unlike he has sounded before. "YOU TAMPER WITH THAT WHICH IS FAR OLDER AND WISER THAN YOU!"
A blast of eerie sea-green light flies from Thariv's hand toward the tentacle-backed woman!
Tentacle of the Deep Attack: 20 Damage: 9 Cold damage, speed reduced by 10 ft on a hit Eldritch Blast Attack: 17 Damage: 2 Force damage
The tentacle from the deep lashes at the woman, hitting her left arm. Frost spreads around the impact point and before anyone can react an eldritch blast hits the same spot. The clothes and flesh meld under the impact revealing a reddish ooze filling her insides.
Ryota moves forward gripping his shield and swings back with his mace at the tentacled monster flailing at him. Attack: 13 Damage: 4
The tentacle is a small target and moves fast, Ryota's swing hits the ground at his feet.
The woman continues to focus on Thariv, whipping a red tentacle at him. Attack: 22 Damage: 4
Luther falters a moment at the sight of tentacles and magical blasts. His days patrolling the border would expose him to new sights all the time, but this was beyond any of that. Not prone to shows of surprise or fear, he instead deepens his scowl and set about shooting another arrow at the woman.
The woman screeches as another arrow pierces her. The small tentacle monster moves away from her, still in melee with Ryota and flails its tentacles again. Attack: 4 Damage: 5 Attack: 22 Damage: 2
This time it manages to grapple and restrain the cleric with one tentacle.
Thariv grunts in pain as the tentacle connects and delivers a stinging blow to his leg. He again uses the tentacle of the deep and a blast of eldritch power to attack her.
Tentacle Attack: 17 Damage: 6 Cold, reduce speed by 10 on hit
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The monster in front of you almost doesn't look like a woman anymore. An amorphous red mass with the woman's head on top of a tentacle lashes at Thariv again. Attack: 23 Damage: 5
The tentacle hits and just moments after an arrow hits her, digging deep in the red blob.
The choker swings his free tentacle at Ryota again. Attack: 5 Damage: 4
Thariv staggers under the last attack from the "woman" who is barely a woman anymore. Perhaps in this case, his conjured tentacle has been outclassed by her "natural" ones.
Still, the strange force of the reef creature within him keeps him on his feet, giving him the strength to carry on. He snarls at the woman: "I'm still standing, you foul beast!" As he says the words, he points a finger at her. ((Bonus Action: Casting Hex on her, on any hit by Tharive she takes 1d6 additional necrotic damage, and her ability checks for Dex are at disadvantage/))
The half-elf then takes a step to one side, trying his best to keep his allies out of the blast zone of what is about to happen. Then, with a shout, there is crack of booming thunder in the air that practically deafens everyone in the chamber!
Casting Thunderwave, doing 2d8 thunder damage and pushing away 10 ft, area of effect is 15-foot cube zone, if makes a Con save, takes half damage and is not pushed (applies to enemies and allies). Save DC 13.
Thunderwave 10 Thunder Damage Hex damage to creature 5 necrotic
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The noise echoes through the castle. Dust falls from the ceiling over you. The tentacled monster explodes from the combined thunder and necrotic damage. Most of its mass is pushed back into the botomless pit in the middle of the room, only a few appendages remain.
Ryota curses at the choker and tries to cast sacred flame again (4 radiant damage, DC 11 dex save for none). Choker dex save: 11
Half dazed from the booming thunderwave sound, his spell does not hit the monster grappling him.
Luther feels emboldened by the tentacle creature's demise, but remains concerned at the physical state of his companions. He steps forward and tries to place himself between Thariv and the choker (unless this will place him within 5ft of the monster).
With no time to practice an incantation, he draws and looses in one fluid cold motion at the choker Attack: 18 Damage: 6

I'm getting a 'dice rolls not available' message so will try a second post rather than risk a cheat flag:
Attack: 20 Damage: 8
Thariv grunts in pain as the tentacle connects and delivers a stinging blow to his leg. He again uses the tentacle of the deep and a blast of eldritch power to attack her.
Tentacle Attack: 17 Damage: 6 Cold, reduce speed by 10 on hit
Eldritch Blast Attack: 16 Damage: 8 Force
The woman stumbles a step back as the tentacle and a blazing eldritch blast hit her.

OOC: the choker is grappling Ryota with its tentacles, there is no way of getting in between.
Luther shoots at the choker, accurately hitting it. The monster flails its tentacles and lashes at Ryota once again.
