Moving forward towards the remaining tentacles, Randall tries to center himself near the mast and within 15 feet of as many tentacles as possible.
With Lightbringer bared and ready for combat, Randall calls on his most powerful magics and is suddenly surrounded by celestial spirits in a thirty foot diameter sphere. Though they avoid the crew and his allies, the spirits sear and burn the tentacles severely!

The Tentacle hits Pepin, but is a soft blow to the Armor that Pepin almost doesn't feel. After which he uses a bonus action to have the force balista attack the tentacle 1:
Attack: 19 Damage: 11 and the tentacle is pushed back 5ft on a hit.
After which another (lvl3) guiding bolt is sent into the creatures head (with advantage due to the previous one):
Attack: 28 Damage: 16

Zenodor continues to telepathically talk to/at the creature: "We are not prey. Leave now, while you are merely injured; or else we will turn you into fish-food"
He then casts Eldritch Blast from above (staying well above the deck and out of reach of any tentacles, EB has a 120ft range).
Tentacle 3 let's go of the mast and follows tentacle 4 as it recoils beneath the waves with a loud angry splash.

Tentacle 3 and 4 are considered to be defeated and will not rise above the waves again.

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; 22 radiant.
Force balista: 17, force damage and move 5ft away from balista: 4

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.
