Not quite how she envisioned it, but worked well enough considering. Alyssa reminds herself to just keep it simple and to stop trying to find creative paths. She’d call upon her flame and toss it at which ever beast appeared most wounded.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
S1 was assaulted from three sides now. First Alyssa's magic, then Bernard's arrow, and finally Ramious tried to pierce the beast with his rapier again. Poor animal did not know where to turn.
Leon and his lion were keeping S4 occupied. The blade missed, but claws and teeth were fast:
When the creature would reappear and lash out, Alyssa would flick up her shield. The manticore would still catch her with its first attack, but she was able to at least avoid the rest. She’d then use her wand to unload the last of its charges against her attacker.
Wounded beast jerked back, though still remaining dangerously close. However, now it looked almost as wounded now as the rest of the lions in the pool.
Leon finally pierced the slippery body and three thin streams of blood decorated wet hide. "His" lione added more:
Ramious's rapier went through the lion's eye, ending the creature's life and a moment later Bernard ended the life of S2, after which the group had to collectively put down S3 that outlived its usefulness and became aggressive again. Water in the pull got a visible blood-red hue, with the gigantic dead bodies, "decorating" the poll, adding more to the general impression of a slaughterhouse.
Slow clapping from above ended with the commentary from Keraptis. "Outstanding! You totally destroyed them all! Bravo! Thought it would take you a bit longer, kind of hoped for the full destruction, you know, for the truly epic battle with all the insects and those crayfish participating. Almost released them on top of you there - hehehe - but changed my mind. After all, you have to get ready for the ... You know what? Not going to spoil the surprise right away! Trust me, you would love it! Even made a riddle about ... what's inside - just for fun, you would not guess anyway. It sounds like this: What is shelled like a clam, stubborn like a mule, and as dumb as a post?" Keraptis burst into laughter again, very satisfied with his creativity. "Can not wait to see your faces when the door is opened! Have to, unfortunately - designing flaw, you see, and I can be the first one to admit, but it will take two hours until water is gone. It's already down a bit." (He did not lie, the level of water was clearly getting lower) "Well, enjoy your rest. So much cutting, piercing, and what's not. You'll need your skill soon again!"
Your "host" left again (or at least gone quiet) and only the barely heard movements of giant scorpions above your heads (and the never ending rumbling of the mountain, of course) interrupted the silence of the artificial graveyard now.
Bugs holds his bow up for a moment incase the claims of a rest were false. When the moment passed he put it way and said, "So who's gonna be healed first..."
Alyssa’s eyes drift up when Keraptis’ voice would echo through the space. She’d listen, but he was right, she wouldn’t respond, at least not out loud. Me? Well at least he provided some insight to how long it would take to drain the water that they decided to flood the area with.
Blue hues would fall over Bernard when he’d break the silence. She’d wait for their huffy tiefling to settle before acknowledging Bugs’ offer. “Thank you Bernard.” Alyssa would dip her head in his direction. “But with this rest I should be okay.” She’d offer a soft smile. He could save his supplies for him and the others who often needed more.
The elf would find a dry place away from the others to quietly work on her journal and keep watch while the others rested their eyes.
Leon grins fiercely as the sea lions are vanquished. He grips the trident and stands at the water's edge, standing guard as the water slowly drains. "well, you were splendid as you took down that last sea lion." Leon informs the trident. "And the way you controled that other one, just perfect." He looks at the water. "Do you happen to know what is waiting for us below?" Leon asks the trident. "Has to be something that breathes water, as that water must have filled any lower chambers as it drains out of here."
(We do use flanking, so, this is 25 damage!)

Leon would strike at the one facing him, while commanding the one the trident has under its sway to attack the one facing Bugs.

Attack: 11 Damage: 15
Wet and fast monster slipped from under Leon's blade but its tail suddenly got caught by another lion.
S3vs S4: Attack: 11 Damage: 8
Attack: 21 Damage: 13
Attack: 25 Damage: 16
Huge paw left five long bleeding wound on the side of S4 and the monster got to the "shore" completely to face both enemies now.

Moving back to the corner. Two arrows at sealing 1
Attack: 16 Damage: 7
Attack: 18 Damage: 7
Two more arrows - two more wounds, but not before the creature tried to scratch Bernard with its fire razer sharp claws:
S1 AoO vs Bernard: Attack: 14 Damage: 11
On the opposite side of the pool the lion on the ledge was attacking the one in the water, still controlled by the trident:
S4vs S3: Attack: 16 Damage: 11
Attack: 21 Damage: 13
Attack: 24 Damage: 10
S1 (2) did not follow Bernard into it's corner, instead, it turned to the closer target - Ramious.
S1vs Ramious: Attack: 11 Damage: 14
Attack: 8 Damage: 11
Attack: 15 Damage: 13
Meanwhile, S2 was still searching for the torch, obeying Alyssa's command and did not rush to the surface just yet. The wizard could strike again!
Alyssa!
(Then Bernard - Ramious and Leon with his lion)

The large sea lion snapped and clawed at Ramious but his metal skin deflected the blows easily enough. He swung his blade once more.

Leon strikes back at the one facing him, while the Sea Lion under the trident's control attacks again in turn.

Now having a little bit of space, Bernard hits sea lion 1 with a hunters mark and fires off two more shots.
Attack: 26 Damage: 5 + hunters mark 4
Attack: 16 Damage: 6 + hunters mark 3
S1 was assaulted from three sides now. First Alyssa's magic, then Bernard's arrow, and finally Ramious tried to pierce the beast with his rapier again. Poor animal did not know where to turn.
Leon and his lion were keeping S4 occupied. The blade missed, but claws and teeth were fast:
S3vs S4: Attack: 9 Damage: 15
Attack: 22 Damage: 12
Attack: 20 Damage: 14
That was the moment, when S2 realised it does not actually want a torch and popped up from the deep water. First person it saw was Alyssa:
S2vs Alyssa: Attack: 18 Damage: 13
Attack: 25 Damage: 8
Attack: 13 Damage: 8
The worst thing was the influence S2 presence had on other lions. S4 double its effort to kill their mind control brother:
S4vs S3: Attack: 23 Damage: 9
Attack: 25 Damage: 15
Attack: 20 Damage: 18
Dying S1, though, did not notice changes in the waters. It attacked Ramious again:
S1vs Ramious: Attack: 20 Damage: 12
Attack: 14 Damage: 6
Attack: 22 Damage: 9

Leon continues to strike at the sea lion before him, having the injured lion under the trident's control do the same.
Attack: 21 Damage: 11
When the creature would reappear and lash out, Alyssa would flick up her shield. The manticore would still catch her with its first attack, but she was able to at least avoid the rest. She’d then use her wand to unload the last of its charges against her attacker.

Only two lions were still fighting a- heavily wounded S1 and a bit more intact S2.

Ramious's rapier went through the lion's eye, ending the creature's life and a moment later Bernard ended the life of S2, after which the group had to collectively put down S3 that outlived its usefulness and became aggressive again.

Seeing the others are not interested in his healing kit, he takes the time to bandage himself up and then tries to recover any arrows he missed with.
"Nit sure what's down there but it's probably another fight... or and obstacles course. Oh, my guess, a mummy? What else is in ziggarots?"
