This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Having dropped, Tauzan searches out the location of the pit Tabaqui is in. (Perception: 25, possibly unnecessary since I think Tauzan previously saw the spot)
Assuming he locates the spot, he will swim down to it, trying to strike it and break it with his khopesh. (Not sure if I need a roll if the material is easily friable.)
Tabaqui, from his position under the stone, continues to scrape away at the underside with his dagger, trying to carve an opening in the stone. If he hears Tauzan, he will call out, "Under here! I'm down here!"
Tauzen's axe-like swing sends his khopesh slicing through the water to crack the stone sealing Tabaqui. It still rests on top of the hollow space, but that space is now flooding with lake water. The pieces can be moved out of the way with a DC12 Str check. Crowbar could be used for advantage, but help from u dermearh doesn't work. An improvised crowbar could suffice, but might damage the object being used.
As he struggles with the elementals, Angus calls out to his comrades, "I've had a... a vision! There is a potential ally nearby if we can get out of this situation and flee..."
Tyreus summons an elemental. Even to those familiar with such creatures, the emergent entity is mysterious. appearing from a reddish tear in the space from which it emerges, a formless cloud of coppery vapor or sparkling dust about 5 feet in diameter.
Simultaneously, the force barrier surrounding the adventurers and the water elementals dissipates from existence.
<I'm done with this stupid force bubble. It's in the module; it's just supposed to slow down anyone who enters the room long enough for Tyreus to show up. I've overplayed its utility. Just let it vanish for mysterious reasons or I'll have to explain it in some convoluted manner.>
Tauzen will continue trying to break through the cap of material covering the hole Tabaqui is trapped in. He will swim to the surface as needed to get a breath, check the surroundings, before diving back down to continue.
(ooc: the last position I have for Tyreus is that he was dashing along or to the lakeshore castle wall... how far away from Calner is he now? and does he have any cover?)
Well, he ran for the shore with a castle wall with a door. He could have gone through it and be on the other side, but let's just say he stopped short of the wall to turn and cast conjure elemental, remaining inside the castle complex.
<Tauzen has broken the stone just needs to lift it off, so Str (athletics). I think the while group still has water breathing active, too.>
It's really hard to picture getting the leverage to push the stone out of the way while water floods in as the elf hangs by a dagger in a sandy crevice. I guess if I had ro five it a DC (I dont) bit I'd call it a 26 Athletics. Much lower from the top.
Walks will disengage from any nearby enemies and move towards Angus.

Tauzan calls out as he tries breaking through, "Tabaqui! Get ready for a deluge!"

Initiative is not my favorite thing. please just do stuff.
this is the last initiative list I have
Tauzen will continue trying to break through the cap of material covering the hole Tabaqui is trapped in. He will swim to the surface as needed to get a breath, check the surroundings, before diving back down to continue.

Rounded down. It's 50ft
Tabaqui will continue to chip away at the stone from underneath. (should I be rolling something?)

Tauzan tries to lift away the stone blocking the opening. (Athletics Check: 10)

(perhaps Tabaqui can help Tauzan from underneath?)
(Because I don't want him to be trapped under a rock, Tabaqui csn help Tauzen move it)
Grapple check Dex 18
Wis saves
Tyreus23
Elemental 18
Tyreus avoids the star spawns physical and mental assaults (pending additional attacks)
The elemental is not impacted by the presence of the starspawn.
(Second Athletics Check for Tauzan with help from Tabaqui: 18)
