"Seems like the majority here are fine with you putting the giant back in the prison." Brocc speaks up. "Majority rules and all of that..." He glances to the one naysayer with a scowl. "I may not have been among this group long, but my voice is just as strong as your own. I say let the wizard do what he suggests."
"I do not disagree with the proposal", Solomon retorts, "I do however, prefer to explore and understand all options. This outcome serves him more than it serves us."
He turns to Blackstaff, weariness and resignation written across his face. "Do what you must, wizard, but I would prefer not to have to return here every time you have unwanted visitors."
"I did not mean to be so forceful." Brocc says with a hand on the other's shoulder. "In this moment though we do not have enough information to make such a decision. More research is needed to know which would be the better choice in the end." He nods to the wizard. 'Please move forward, but, be aware, if this issue comes up again we will not be likely to make the same decision twice."
"If it becomes a problem once more then I will put a bolt through each of its eyes." Tennezaz says as he dusts himself off, setting his crossbow back on his belt.
With a sigh of relief that wizard says “Very well, I’m glad you listened to reason....”. Taking his time to get his bearings he heads back to the table where the book that brought you into the basement. Walking back to the pit, holding onto a different book. “This will take some time, I doubt that whatever waits beyond the other side will like what we are doing. I would prefer if I had some of you in front of me, I may be a ghost, but I can still feel pain and be cast away. Get your positions and let me know when you are ready.”

Fingolin stands to the left of the wizard. He was close to patting him on the shoulder, but he drops his hand and says: "We're here to defend you, no matter the monster, so focus and finish the ritual faster." He takes out his hand crossbow and loads a bolt.
Brocc takes a position to the Wizard's other side, casting guidance on the wizard. He rides Pounce, though is positioned right next to the wizard so Pounce can use Deflect Attacks for the wizard as well as Brocc himself.
The group finds their positions (assuming others keep their distance)
The wizard olds out the book and a ethereal crystal in his hands as he begins to speak in a different language. For anyone who speaks abyssal, it’s close but really spoken glyphs and sigils, not fully a language,
A aura of magic pushes the Fomorian back into the pit and appears to be building a magical wall to contain the twisted creation.
As he completes the first incantation, the leftmost sigil turns red like you originally saw it before Samwell unlocked it.
Inmediatley the hellish scream can be heard booming from the pit. Chaotic and mad it pierced your ears as you clutch the sides of your head. Four long tentacles sprout from the pitch black pit, oozing with green vigor and start lashing about. You hear the sounds of rushing wind blow past like a vacuum as the veil is tearing between the realms. The air seems to being sucked out of you. Ooze is bubbling up from the pit as it slams into the walls of the magical barrier.
With the screeching wind and monsterous tentacles before you. A cold shiver runs down your spine. Wisdom Save 15: failure you are now frightened of the creature.
The four tentacles strike wildly at whoever is with reach. 2 - wizard 1 - Solomon 1 - Fingolin.
The tentacles slam into both Fingolin and the wizard. Bringing Fingolin momentarily to his knees. The wizard looses form temporarily from the damage and looks shook from the hit and visage.
Solomon stumbles backwards in fear as the tentacles loom over him. Fighting the urge to run, he sheathes his sword and raises his hand towards the creature, trying to cover it in frost to slow it down.
IN the face of the looming danger and his multiple wounds, Fingolin backs away, saying "Courage, friends! Have the courage I lack! Protect the wizard."and he assumes the Mantle of Inspiration, giving the wizard and 4 companions closest to the portal a boost to their life force. (5 temp hp)

(watching the wizard you feel like you understand how much energy it takes for him to lock each sigil. DC16 - one sigil, DC 26 - 2sigils which will increase based upon how much damage the wizard takes. More of his energy will have to focus on keeping his from instead of the spell)

Solomon grumbles slightly, but strides forward towards the wizard, standing between the apparition and the portal, sword drawn.
