(Your side will go first. Borax is engaged with the creature, V'rekh just behind him. Everyone else is in the chamber with the air pocket 60 ft. down the hall, but you can see what's going on because of the light.)
Fearing that the water will slow down his warhammer too much to be effective, Borax calls on his God to help him fend of the creature. As the tentacle reach out to grasp him, Borax summons the sacred fire of Gond, hoping to push thing back toward the door.

Dex Save v Sacred Flame, 10
The radiant light strikes down on the giant octopus emerging from the doorway. V'rekh moves back and fires wide as Uthred swims up behind him. (Uthred started 60 ft. away so another dasj will be needed to get to the creature)
The octopus lashes out at Borax Tentacle v Borax, 8 to hit, 11 bludgeoning damage and restrained.

Searing from the pain of the radiant light, the tentacle lashes out at Borax. Reacting quickly, he shuffles slightly back causing the creature to flail wildly, not allowing it to grasp hold of him (AC19). Seeing the effectiveness of the spell, Borax continues to take a step back, and to the left of the door, allowing any others a clear sight to their target, and again, calls down the fires of Gond on his opponent.

Seeing his companion on the octopus grasp, V'rekh calls the magical energy within him and casts chromatic orb at the monster (Attack: 12 Damage: 19), hoping that lightning damage would hurt the monster.
Again the giant creature is burned by the magic light. While it is preparing to strike again, it is momentarily halted by Uthred's blade and V'rekh's spell which both strike true.
(27 damage so far)
The octopus this time lashes out with its long tentacle toward Uthred. Tentacle v Uthred, 24 to hit, 12 bludgeoning damage and restrained.

From the room with the air pocket, Faylen watches as the giant creature attacks and her fellows return blows of their own. She frantically scans the area to see if there is any way to shut the door on the tentacles or stop the monster from attacking.
This time the crossbow bolt hits its mark further startling the large beast.
Faylen looks over the area but doesn't believe there is a mechanism to close the far door, aside from actually closing the door.
The octopus creates a cloud of ink, obscuring 10 ft. down the hallway and back into the far room. Borax is completely surrounded by it and the warforge feels the water move as the beast darts back into the room (no opportunity attack since it cannot be seen).
Uthred is pulled along into the next room. The little bit of light that makes it through the cloud illuminates a sunken living quarters with another pit in the center of the room. Treasure lines the corners and there is an air pocket above you. The octopus pulls you into the darkness of the pit.

Feeling the octopus rush back into the room, Borax follows. Uthred looked to be in trouble, entangled in the sucking tentacles of the beast. He needed to do something.
As he moves through the door, he notices the pit in the middle of the floor and jumps in after the octopus. As he does so, he readies an attack on the octopus, again calling on the fires of Gond.
OOC: Ready Sacred flame to trigger if he lands safely at the bottom of the pit and he can see the octopus holding Uthred. Sacred Flame: 8 (Dex Save 13)
Seeing Uthred get pulled into another room by the creature, Faylen readies herself for another swim, hoping she can make it to another air pocket. She begins swimming in the direction of the monster and Uthred.
(OOC)Sorry on missing the first round of action. I wasn't aware we had moved on to that already!(/OOC)
Jarrett immediately begins swimming with the others towards the where the octopus seems to have vanished and preparing to fire a bolt of fire from his wrist-strapped apparatus upon spotting the creature!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Uthred feels a great pain he did not imagine, while sucked under by the octopus, he inhales all the possible air and relys on all his strength to get fre of the hold of the tentacle, shouting uselessly under water.

Borax swims through the ink cloud and his light illuminates the pit Uthred was dragged into. In addition to more treasure, the pit is littered with skeletal remains. Borax calls on his flame again.
DEX Save v Sacred Flame, 8
This time it evades.
Uthred takes the opportunity to wrench off the tentacle holding him with sheer force and rage.
Faylen and Jarrett begin swimming as fast as they can down the hallway, but only make it about halfway and cannot see through the ink cloud centered on the doorway.
The octopus reaches it's long tentacle way out of the pit to grab the creature that keeps irradiating it. Tentacle v Borax, 20 to hit, 13 bludgeoning damage and restrained. (30 damage so far)
Initiative: 17
