"The thang don't like my glowey drank / so I put an arrow in to make it sank / my rhymes are the upmost dank / when I shoot it uh huh huh / when I shoot it"
Tommary hair barely avoids the tentacle thing as he ducks, Tommary then duckwalks backward in a cunning action disengage to give himself space to fire off an arrow from his short bow breaking from his invisibility.
Attack: 27 Damage: 10.
Tommary's arrow seems to hit something important as your ears ring with the creatures scream (Sneak Attack damage 6)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Sorry, last time I checked there had been almost no activity since my last post and I kinda forgot to check back in for a bit. My bad.
Before I can declare Toots’ turn, I request some additional information:
On a scale of “lookin’ pretty rough” to “it’s just a flesh wound,” where “pretty rough” means a lucky attack might potentially kill it, and “flesh wound” is like your typical action movie hero shoulder wound* (so not the Black Knight’s definition), how injured does it appea?
is Toots for sure grappled, or do I owe you a contested check to avoid the grapple like Toots had to make the round before?**
Please provide your official ruling on the following:
If Toots is grappled by a creature from 15 feet away, then technically there is not a hostile creature within 5 feet of Toots, and as such one she should be able to make a Ranged attack without disadvantage.
If a creature is physically touching her enough to impose that condition, then logically speaking then then she should be able to make a Melee attack against the monster.
*Ball & socket joints like Shoulders (and hips & ankles) are in fact some of the most painful and debilitating injuries a person can get, they take forever to heal, and there is a very strong possibility it won’t heal correctly. I don’t care how tough you are, if you catch a bullet to the shoulder and it hits that joint, or any of the points where the clavicle articulates you ain’t finishing the third act of the story for at least 3-4 months.
**If this most recent hit Toots took was the same as it was the round before then here is her Dex (Acrobatics) check to contest that grapple: 19 If instead that last round’s attack automatically grappled Toots, then ignore that last bit and please let me know.

Thank you.
There are many holes and chunks missing from the creature and it is weeping black ooze. Its constantly changing nature makes it difficult to determine exactly how hurt it is but you think it is severely damaged.
If the attack hits, you are grappled.
You can shoot it or stab it.
OOC: Yes, broke collar bone once (got run over by a biker) half upper body paralysis.

That effing blows.
I broke my shoulder when I was a kid, that was painful as a muddahumpah. The Docs fixed me up pretty well though, I only had to be wrapped in styrofoam for the four hottest months on record in a decade. And it only acts up if there is weather coming or if I have to reach up a lot, or lean on that arm. Compared to you I got off light.
First things first, the 17 damage has been recorded, and I owe you a concentration check to see if Toots maintained the Hex she placed on the creature: 7
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“Ahh!!” Toots cries out, less from the physical pain of her injury, and more in frustration as her concentration is broken and she feels her spell dissipate.
She wraps her small hands tightly around the pseudopod or whatever kind of appendage has her in its grasp. “Err, ahh, it’s got me! LET ME GO!” Toots puts as much music as is necessary into her voice to turn that last shouted declaration into a song, and adds power to her song to turn it into a spell... and doesn’t stop. As she keeps pouring every ounce of power she can possibly muster into it. The sweat beads on her brow and the veins bulge at her temples and neck from her efforts. Her hands grip even tighter around the creature as Toots unleashes one of the most powerful spells she has ever cast. Inflict Wounds (4th-level): Attack: 18 Damage: 34
OOC: it would be nice to at least roll average for damage once in a while. 🙄 I ain’t tryin’a be greedy, I ain’t even asking for it “some of the time,” just “once in a while,” and I ain’t askin’ to roll high or anything, just average. Is that really so much to ask...?
Although technically speaking, I did roll “a little high.” 😌
Toots grips the head of the beast, and as her song reaches crescendo, the head explodes in a shower of gore! The body falls to the ground with a splash.
Good job team!

Toots drops to her knees, a little weakened from her exertion. She stays very still for a moment to collect herself, her atypical silence accentuated by the quiet sounds of various fluids dripping from her onto the floor.... Until a heavy, wet “splat” fills the air as one of the larger chunks falls from the brim of her hat and lands heavily to the ground in front of her.
”Ugggh!” She starts to prestidigitate herself clean in earnest. 🤢 “I’ go’ i’ my mouf. *retch* So gross.” She casts Prestidigitation again, this time directly into her mouth in an attempt make the flavor less unpleasant, and then continues cleaning herself. “What in the hells was that thing?!? Is everyone alright? Was anyone injured? How ‘bout you two back there, are yous okay too?” That last question she directed over her shoulder towards Star and Pipkin. “And how about you little buddy?” She inquires as she hurriedly opens her beltpouch to check on Mece. The barrage-like string of rapid questions more in keeping with her usual demeanor.
ARE THEY DEAD?!? Toots would try to heal them with some of her goodberries and if that doesn’t work then she would use her last spell slots to try Healing Word.
Tommary looks over himself for any traces of ick, making sure his wounds are at least clean,. He sees Toots over in the main splash zones and gives her a "metal" devil horns hand gesture for that finale.
