Earlier: Lewin gathers his things, including a simple pole he barely uses as a walking staff, a small pack, and some armor and a shield. Both glimmer in faint light, not from anything arcane, but from dark iridescence. The armor is scaled, but not metal or dragonscale - each segment appears to be made of a large insect catalice, perhaps a scarab beetle, it’s hard to tell. The shield, similarly, is what seems to be a large insect shell, or perhaps a very small piece of a bullette. He dons them without comment. When T'chal'fronack'zcinicker hands him the contract, he accepts it and begins to skim it while they walk but does not sign it. He is not in a good position to be observant when the canal explodes.
(Seems he may win initiative so he will cast bless on everyone else, at second level. He tries to keep his distance and off to the side from the creature.)

"Many thanks, tall wonder."Flux said to Lewin. After a few glances between the Warhammer in hand and the Chuul, he mutters something along the lines of "Aww, he's go it" while slipping the warhammer away in favor of just holding out a hand. "Right then! Time to be earning me keep! Have a taste of a good captain's arsenal!"He boldly declared just moments before his eyes became subsumed in divine blue lightning.
Appearing in thin air from a collection of sparks is a spectral ship wheel that immediately tries to slam into the chuul's backside. Then with a flick of the wrist and a snap of the fingers, the waters from the channel rise up to splash against the Chuul. Except if it does make it contact with carapace, it would immediately begin to sizzle and steam as if coated in fire or acid. With all that done, Flux stands his ground towards the middle of the group, trusting those in the lead to do much the same in the front.
Bonus Action: Cast (2nd level)Captain's Wheel and strike the Chuul. (Lethal)Spiritual Weapon - Attack: 4+16 Damage: 12.
Action: Cast (Cantrip)Sacred Waters on Chuul. Dex Save(DC 16) or take 4 Radiant Damage.
Future Reaction(Flux): If any hit him with a melee attack, using Wrath of the Storm on the attacker. Dex Save(DC 16) or they take 10 lightning damage.

Kerric:
"Time to get to work," says Kerric as he moves up to face the Chuul, his gleaming Curved Blade flashing in the dim light. Reaching the creature at the edge of the water, he fakes an overhead smash and instead slashes quickly on each side at the vulnerable joints supporting the foe's powerful claws!
Bonus Action Feint:
Elven Curved Blade attack with Feint and Bless: Attack: 22 Damage: 9 plus Bless: 1
Extra Feint Damage if hits: 6
Elven Curved Blade attack with Bless: Attack: 21 Damage: 15 plus Bless: 2
(Will use reaction to Parry if he is hit by a claw)

T'chal'fronack'zcinicker flinches back from the splattering of water that is tossed across the group, muttering a "what the....." mostly to himself.... followed by a "...ugghh....gross...."
Then he seems to take notice of the lobster like creature being pummelled by everyone. "Every...single...bridge..." he mutters as he fires a crossbow bolt at the creature.
Attack: 4 + 19 Damage: 13
He shouts to Flux, "Good sir! Very impressive. If you didn't note it, your contract does have a performance bonus clause, and if you keep this up you'll most certainly be meeting it!" Flux feels..unusually...inspired?...by this. (Bardic Inspiration for 1d6)

Xalkas backs away to let the more martially inclined members of his group have their space to attack the creature. Once at an acceptable distance away he blasts the creature with a fire bolt.
Flux opens up with an impressive strike with his spectral captains wheel, ramming it right up the Chuul's rear. Surprise! Fully filled from Flux's faith, it's little beady eyes never bulged so wide.
Repositioning himself Xalkas lobs a firebolt. Having failed to recalculate the distance of his end position, his flame peeters out before reaching his target.
T'chal'fronack'zcisnicker's blessed bolt boldly breaks the beasts breast bone. Butchered, bloodied, burned and bothered, the brash beefy bodied bully blatantly belts before your bolstered brethren.
Ebele flinches back from the splattering of water that is tossed across the group, muttering a "what the....." mostly to herself.... followed by a "I hope this is sanitary...." She sniffs her shoulder.
Then she seems to take notice of the wailing and flailing of a creature being pummeled by everyone. "Every...single...bridge..." She mutters and shudders as she comes to be reminded of her previous experiences.
"'Playing Favourites' Clause." Ebele 'coughs', giving her chest a pat. She clears her throat. A small smirk tugs at the corner of her lips.
Positioned between Keric and Flux, the blind monk grabbed a firm hold of her staff and planted her feet for sure footing. "This one has tentacles too doesn't it?" She thinks out loud to them. "It's always tentacles." Ebele flourishes her staff to gain some momentum prior to whacking and thwacking, following up with some smacking, hoping to send the beast packing.
Rearing in pain, the Chuul thrashes about within the water. It lurches forward with a gurgling chatter, clamping at two of it's closest attackers with its pincers.
VS Kerric Attack 1: 18 Damage: 13 On Hit: the target is grappled (escape DC 15)
VS Flux Attack 2: 17 Damage: 15 On Hit: the target is grappled (escape DC 15)
T'chal'fronack'zcinicker pulls another bolt out of his quiver and narrows his eyes at the blindfolded girl who is twirling and smashing in the midst of the fight with the creature. He takes a moment to point at both his eyes with one hand, and then swing the fingers back and forth between Ebele and himself.....before raising the crossbow up and firing at the Chuul. He offers Ebele one last narrowed eyed suspicious glance before reaching for another bolt.
Attack: 1 + 16 Damage: 13

Whoever Valkur yet seemed to be looking out for Flux as just narrowly gets his shield up in time to parry the claw, before then bringing the warhammer in to try and smash the one holding Kerric enough to free the unfortunate elf. "You won't be taking this one into the briny depths with ya, you oversized lobster!" Flux said a little breathily. But regardless of success (or all too likely failure) in his endeavors to free Varric, the spectral wheel zips into the air-space above the chuul, only to come crashing down with deadly force!
Bonus Action: Strike once again with Captain's Wheel! (Lethal)Spiritual Weapon - Attack: 1+27 Damage: 11.
Action(if possible):Strength(Athletics)(flavored as a hammer strike) to try and break Kerric free of the grapple(DC 15): 17.
Future Reaction(Flux): If any hit him with a melee attack, using Wrath of the Storm on the attacker. Dex Save(DC 16) or they take 10 lightning damage.

Lewin marvels at the group who’s just rescued him - they seem capable, or at least interesting. He looks down at his hands which hold, or held, the paper contract, sodden now. He backs up and wipes the paper away, and points at the creature, hoping to [Tooltip Not Found] for 5 necrotic damage on a failed WIS 15 save. He also taps his staff on the ground and it pulses hollowly with resonant power (casting shillelagh), holding it in front of himself in a pseudo ready stance.
(cast spell for action and bonus, and back up to SW corner)

Weaving and deflecting as best he can, Kerric is unable to fully block the Chuul’s attack and is grabbed by the pincer.

Restrained by its claw, he hacks at the appendage twice, hoping to cut himself loose.
