The tentacle batters the guard from behind, and he takes a blast of energy to the front, and falls steaming to the ground. The other guard is silent for a moment, before pointing and cackling with glee at seeing his fellow mowed down.

Galingal moves towards the gangway (not sure of the scale - 30’ though if possible), moving around Jimjar-KT, and then flings his hand out again towards Blopp. Another beam of energy crackles out and lashes towards the priestess.
(Not sure what happened - on my phone but thought I had the attack and damage right - the above looks like just the attack. Posting damage here: 5 plus Bardic Special Inspiration for an extra 2

Galingal moves up around J-KT, and looses another bolt of magic that arcs into Blopp, darting past the duergar she is hiding behind to slam into her and light her up.

His bolt arcs past to splash into the water, and the guard advances on Galingal, snapping at him with a bite, before thrusting with his grabbing staff.
Bite Attack: 13 Damage: 4 Pincer Staff Attack: 10 Damage: 3, grappled on hit, DC 14 to escape
Stena looks up at the trident and before turning and dashing away from it and trying to get behind the buildings/junk SW, SW of fish Jimjar's location.
(Is it full cover there?
Also, how much damage did Blopp end up taking? 11?))
((Advantage in general from his guiding bolt, but I hadn't moved Stena on the map, if you're looking to get far, yeah you'd be capital d Dashing and miss it. Stena has full cover if she's crouched behind the crates.))
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Stena dips out of there, scurrying towards the edge of the water.
Gloog runs forward and jabs his pincer staff down at the guard who is just now recovering from his giggle fit, and follows that up with a kick at its head.
Pincer Staff Attack: 9 Damage: 6, if hits, target is grappled Kick Attack: 11 Damage: 3
The spectral trident emerges from the alley and goes after the kuo-toa follower who has apparently turned traitor...
Trident Attack: 14 Damage: 4
Blopp flails her bloody dagger in a grandiose manner and calls out, her voice booming supernaturally loud.
"You are fools to move against me and Leemooggoogoon the Deep Father! Your deaths will fuel his strength!"
The duergar (5) and drow (13) flinch at the noise, seemingly shaking a bit out of their stupors.
Buppido leaps for the downed guard, shortswords flashing.

Gloog gets his pincer staff firmly around the throat of the guard, twisting as he delivers his kick. The guard no longer finds any of this amusing.
The trident jabs into Jimjar-KT, and he staggers with a moan. The blow, on top of the damage he took earlier when you got ambushed in the alley, has left him in a poorly state.
Buppido finishes off the guard with a jab that goes through one side of its fishy head and out the other, but he makes sure of it with one last stab before scurrying through the gate and crouching behind some boxes.
With the two ‘distracted’ guards now permanently distracted ((dead)), Lia moves west through the gap in the barricade.
Reaching the edge of the gap (and trying to keep something like half-cover if possible?) she surveys the scene. She sees Ploopp’s sister, sees the tail end of her casting, and recognises her as a powerful magic user. She sees Galingal pinned, and some kind of spiritual weapon over Jimjar.
Lia slumps back against the barricade for half a second, muttering under her breath, “**** **** ****!…”. Most of her spells are best against the feeble-minded… But then seeing Ploopp’s sister, glowing and recognising a similar effect from her own spells, she does something rather unusual for her…
Lia takes out her shortbow and fires on Ploopp’s sister…
Within 10 minutes, you can addd6 to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. It can be added after seeing the roll, but before knowing the outcome.

Alternatively, you can addd6 to the damage or healing done by a spell
Seeing Lia slump down against the barricade, Neth decides to move through to the other side.
Neth begins to run through the barricade muttering to himself ".. why I came.. who even are the....hehe yes yes I know..."
He steps through the barricade and with an aggressive hand motion moves the tentacle to the front of the bridge, behind the guard and orders it to attack.
Attack 16 Damage 10
Neth looks towards who he can only assume is Blopp and sends a jolt of arcing blue energy her way.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The bluish tentacle that is phasing up through the ground in the entryway (that the DM totally didn't forget to put on the map) pulls itself along the ground past Lia, to get in range of the guard that has Galingal grabbed with their staff, where it lashes out and smacks the guard, frost crackling across their armor.
Neth pushes through, muttering to himself, and sends a crackling blast past the two sacrificial captives to slam into the archrpriestess where she stands on the docks.
The duergar struggles to pull free of Blopp, and the drow child wiggles about, but they both still seem dazed.
Duergar: 6 Drow: 3
Neither manage to free themselves, as Jimjar not wanting to flee and leave Galingal in dire straights, fires a bolt before sprinting past Stena, away from the trident.

Not seeing what is happening but hearing Blopp yell and then seeing the trident emerge she waves for Jimjar to move south,
"Get away from that thing, far as ye can."

Lia watches it fly... and watches it fly... and watches it swim...
Perhaps she was a bit too unwilling to possibly shoot one of the two captives and aimed a bit too high. Either way, the glow fades around Blopp.
