More leaves float to the surface betraying bush's position, more water movement as the plant - still alive! - was trying to attack Leon, all allowed A-Alyssa to target the mob. Did not look like the attack was successful, but now others could join the fun in the pool.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Str save: 7
The jolted bush shook with every remaining leaf it had, unable to swim away or attack. Its voice, that underwater sounded more musical than simple hissing, was full of pain but did not contain any pleading notes. Seems the creature was not about to surrender.
((That was my first thought :) I even checked - and of course there was a post from JC stating "magic =//= physic", so, electrocute all you like anyone anywhere!))
The poor seaweed had no chance to wiggle away, when Ramious got the hold of it. Now it was firmly rooted on the spot.
(If I may be allowed to share my opinion, I believe that is a dumb answer that makes the D&D world feel more like an artificial video game and less like a living breathing world of magic. Meanwhile, in Ramious' head....)
"Haha, gotchya you stupid bush!"

Yep, agree with you on this one. I was actually expecting something wierd to happen with the lightning in the water, and was bracing for it to get Leon as well. Electricity + water = bad things. He could only cast cantrips though, after using Arcane Deflection, so here we are...
With one bush down, he sighs and slings the bow over his shoulder. He reaches down to pick up the spear that was offered to Leob and then waded into the water.
Ooc: assuming that's all that is available. Stow weapon, pick up spear off ground while moving to water.
Bernard definitely can join the swim team with the spear ready. The few leaves that were not torn or cut in half yet, unable to swim away tried to at least make the very last stand:
Another safe-lightning strike (4 ) and the creature stopped its last attempts to free itself, the mass of long entangled leaves just lifelessly floated around Ramious. No more creature were trying to attack you here, the fight was over.
Dark water, though murky enough, allowed nevertheless to see, that in addition to the stairs on the opposite side of the room, there are two partly enclosed areas in the eastern wing of the pool with entrances that are accessible only from beneath the surface of the water.
Moving out of the water, Leon waits for the others to join him. "Well, there seem to be two openings down under the water. Do we check them out first?"
Ramious glances down at the bush. Remembering the tree from that last place, he picks the bush up and looks through its roots in case its snagged anything from anyone else it may have killed. Then he tosses it to one side. He takes a deep breath, getting his wind back after the battle. (second wind for : 10 hps)
"Hey, uh, those things banged me up pretty good. You ok if we sit down and take a short break for me to get my wind back....or...maybe some healing before we move? I know, I know, already? Bet yer thinkin, stop being a little girl ya whiner."
He glances around the room with a grin. Then he sees A. Then...is that...is that a glimmer of something in his eyes? Realization? He scratches his head, with a confused look, and then, still frowning, sits down on a dry spot to think for a few seconds...waiting to see if people want to have a short break or heal him.
A would tilt their head at Ramious, choosing not to comment on their last few words.
“Got something in your eye?” They’d ask.
“While you rest, I’ll join Leon in the water.”The elf would drop their bag and books at Ramious’ side when he takes a seat. With a swift little trot, they’d gracefully dive into the water to investigate.
If anyone decided to look the books and backpack over, there was no mistaking, they were Alyssa’s.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bernard slows his swim down and stops and then gets out of the water with the others. He looks down at his wet self and sighs as it was a waste getting in.
Shaking his head and getting back into the moment. "Healing? Yeah, let's get you situated." He pulls out his healers kit and gets to work.
The leaves did not contain anything, but those rooms did - one of them at least. Nothing stood out to A as a trap, but all over the small space that was the southern room, was the real treasure in the most straight meaning of it: coins of all kin (600 gp all together), a few pieces of jewelry - rings and necklaces (worth 2,000 gp), and a suit of remarkably well made and too perfectly preserve to be something ordinary - chain armor. Rusty weapon - a few daggers and swords - all seemed useless at this point.
As A and Leon come swimming back up with treasure in their hands, Ramious laughs and rolls his eyes, "Yes, come forth from yer watery depths and lay yer treasure at my feet ya heathens!" He shakes his head, "We come in here, beat two bushes, and get more treasure than most people could dream of in a lifetime. I shoulda been an adventurer a long time ago...all that scraping together a livin in the city is for chumps."
His eyes seems to slide away from eye contact with A, and he slips into a quiet thoughtfulness that's unusual for him. Then he clears his throat, "Uh...Bugs here took good care of me while you were bringin home the bacon for us. I'm ready to follow any ya'll...or just push me in the right direction and I'll spring all the traps for us." A toothy grin is missing from this statement, as he seems to be speaking seriously. "Hmmm, what's with that chain mail? It magical? Can you ID it A?"
(Shall I assume 150gp each, and 2000 gold in treasure goes into...hmmm....no one has a bag of holding still? I guess into 500gp piles into each of our bags as well?)

(Another butchered round - it was Leon's turn still, yet I called Alyssa. But for the next round (if needed) - let's roll save)
Bush2 save: 15
The radiant light fizzled in the dark water. But the bush(2) was now struggling alone there against Leon.
Leon!
Meili Liang Lvl 5 Monk
Dice
With a bubbly growl, Leon lifts one hand, sending 3 darts of power slamming into the bush-thing...
magic missile
Force damage: 11
More leaves float to the surface betraying bush's position, more water movement as the plant - still alive! - was trying to attack Leon, all allowed A-Alyssa to target the mob. Did not look like the attack was successful, but now others could join the fun in the pool.
B2 vs Leon: Attack: 16 Damage: 10
Attack: 23 Damage: 8
Round 5
Ramious, Bernard, Leon.
Meili Liang Lvl 5 Monk
Dice
Leon uses arcane deflection to block the bush's second attack. Then he returns an attack, this time casting lightning lure
DC 14 STR save, if successful nothing happens, otherwise take 7 lightning damage.
Str save: 7

Ramious, Bernard.

Dice
(Lightning under water? Seems like that should have some sort of surprising result!)
Ramious strides into the water and heads for the 2nd bush, attempting to grab it. Grapple check : 24

Pathetic attempt to scratch the warriors around.
Everyone can finish off poor bush now.

Leon tries for another lightning lure
DC 14 STR save or take 6 lightning.
