[[ OOC: Since Ardana is using a one-handed weapon, such as the Javelin, it is assumed she has her shield equipped. ]].
But Ardana is not caught off guard and interposes her shield to prevent contact that, she feels, would be unpleasant.
Once in the desired position, the tiefling paladin balances her javelin and unleashes a precise throw, which Four Tentacles fails to completely avoid, receiving a grazing wound to the shoulder.
Meanwhile, Paqen takes up position behind Tarysaa and tries to make Four Tentacles feel the bite of the frost.
Elias follows Paqen and praises Ardana's battle prowess, further igniting her spirit.
[[ OOC: Ardana gains a Bardic Inspiration die (d6) ]]
Khelbluen once again concentrates crackling magical energy in his hands and hurls it in a sudden bolt of lightning at Four Tentacles—then takes advantage of the opportunity to retreat out of reach.
Mival, meanwhile, attempts to land two savage slams on the abomination's head and neck.
Seeing the abomination in trouble, Zevriel swings his Twinblade in a series of attacks to finally put it out of action.
Meanwhile, Tarysaa points her hand at Four Tentacles, chanting arcane chants—and immediately three bolts of pure magical energy shoot from her fingers and, with curved trajectories that allow them to avoid obstacles and allies, mercilessly strike the monster.
Four Tentacles manages to deflect many of Zevriel's sinister attacks with his trident... but not all! One of the blades slips past his guard and nearly severs a tentacle. And immediately afterward, Tarysaa's force bolts strike the monster in the chest, belly, and base of the neck.
Blood is now clouding the water around the abomination, and it seems close to giving in. But it still finds the strength to let out a cry in an unknown language and launch one final attack—this time against Mival!
1st Trident Attack: 25 Damage: 6 (pieecing) 2nd Trident Attack: 22 Damage: 8 (pieecing) Tentacle Attack: 13 Damage: 14 (psychic) - and and the target has disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws until the end of the attacker's next turn.
Mival is agile, but the trident is fast, managing to graze him twice, once in the arm and once in the thigh. However, the Doppelganger had focused its attention on the tentacles, and thus manages to evade them without difficulty.
