Dagna keeps her feet on the slippery rocks that surround the pool, and is able to haul in Nacht, Edwin and Stool in no small part due to Edwin's burst of strength. Everyone is able to climb up the rocks and onto damp land.
The ooze, however, rolls onward despite Karys's bolt hitting it center mass. There's a slight rippling that goes out from the impact point, but the ooze doesn't even slow down.
The other gnomes swim for the rocks, climbing up and out and away from the ooze, while Buppido does the same. The drow, the only other prisoner with a ranged weapon up and ready, fires another bolt at the blob:

Edwin:
Stepping up in front of the others, Edwin focuses his rage into white-hot determination! Drawing his trusty hand axe, he waits for the monster to approach in reach so he can slash at it!

Dagna breathes a sigh of relief as all of the others reach the shore. Setting down the rope, she moves to the back of the group and takes hold of her spellbook again, whispering an incantation as the ooze takes form.
Action: fire bolt on ooze to hit 19, damage 4 fire.
Under the onslaught (two crits?!) the ooze stands no chance. It jiggles for a moment, and then melts into the water. You can see the bolts that you fired into it, most of them now eaten away and unusable.
(Make sure to subtract ammunition on your sheet!)
Combat is over....until a horrible shriek once again fills the cavern. One of the giant, vulture-like creatures flashes by in a blur, and skids across the rocks. It gets back up, shaking itself off, and unfortunately notices all of you. Once again, it gives its eerie, inhuman shriek as it towers over you, bloody and looking quite murderous.
Actions from everyone!

Karys temporarily drops the crossbow and unsheathes the longsword, somewhat awkwardly since her hands are still bound. Then she runs over and tries to stab the ugly vulture.
Longsword (held with both hands) Attack - 10 to hit, 11 damage
Caught off guard by the creature, the only one able to do anything is Edwin. He runs up, sinking his axe into a wing. The creature screeches angrily, and retaliates:
Attack: 18 Damage: 11 and 7 poison damage
Attack: 7 Damage: 9 and 11 poison damage

However, he slips while trying to get his footing and the bolt goes wild.
The ooze gets closer to you, it's only about 10 feet away from the edge of the pool now.
