Tentacle 3 and 4 are considered to be defeated and will not rise above the waves again.
(Randall is up. After that Tentacle 5 will finish round 2 and I will post an updated initiative order without T3 and T4.)

Pepin decides that the guiding bolt and force ballista seemed to work fine so he shoots both of them again. Guiding bolt into the face of the monster and the force ballista on tentacle 1:
Guiding bolt: 26, damage; 13 radiant.
Force balista: 27, force damage and move 5ft away from balista: 9

The overly huge tentacle writhes and roils as it attempts to gain purchase on the ship and threaten to instantly submerge the vessel beneath the waves and certain doom. Nearby crew valiantly fight with weapons, tools, and whatever is at hand to fight it off, and are soon joined by several more crew as they succeed in not only holding it at bay but driving it back. The ship lists from side to side under the assault of the massive tentacles and bobs precariously on the surface of the waves but remains on the surface for now.

Z continues to blast at the grappling tentacles from above:
Blast 1: Attack: 13 Damage: 6
Blast 2: Attack: 10 Damage: 10
Z uses his bonus action to try to telekinetically shove the tentacles away (forgot I had this): STR 16
(Telekinetic - Shove
As a bonus action, you can try to telekinetically shove one creature you can see within 30 ft. of you. The target must succeed on a STR save (DC 16) or be moved 5 ft. toward you or away from you. A creature can willingly fail this save.)
The tentacles writhe in agony and a burbling screech can be heard from below.

Randall:
As the fifth tentacle retreats, Randall moves towards the other two on the ship, trying to place himself between them so that they both are subjected to his Spirit Guardians. Calling down spiritual fire on the one that has the tighter grip (Tentacle 1 since it rolled the Crit grapple), Randall also sends the glowing mace of force to strike it!
Sacred Flame on Tentacle 1 (DC 17 Dexterity Save to negate): 11

The tentacles recoil and the mighty Octopus-like creature sinks beneath the waves.
(some things about the combat for the curious... nothing serious, just for those who like a peek behind the scenes)
For this combat I was treating the tentacles like separate creatures, if they took enough damage they would retreat beneath the waves (never to return, so sort of like... dead).
And if 3 or more ever grappled the ship at the same time they would of done siege damage, and the ship would of been in serious danger of sinking.
I almost thought of treating the tentacles like hydra-heads, defeat one and two more rise in it's place, lol.

Seeing the creature go down, Pepin immediately checks the bottom of the ship for any damage, before going to the surface and doing a check in the sides of the ships (he can Also walk along water due to his ring). If no structural damage is to be found he will find the rope and climb onto the deck to check on how it stands there.
