// was that my whole turn or can I try and attack the roper again? //
That was your action. You still have a possible bonus action & move, if you would like to take them! You are currently in melee range with the 9-ft-tall roper.
// So just reiterate, you can use your action to attempt a grapple escape, either Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics). You don't have to try to escape if you would rather attack—escaping is an option. //
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Electricity courses over the roper, as it extrudes a brand-new tendril and goes to attack Aregarak once more, this time with all three of its remaining tendrils! It still holds Bel, GB, and Lana in its grasp.
On a hit: The target is grappled (escape DC 15). Until the grapple ends, the target is restrained and has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
Aregarak is now held by three tendrils, and as the roper grasps him it pulls him in to its toothed maw...
Bite Attack: 27 Damage: 32
The roper also reels in Bel, dragging him similarly across the strongly running river. Bel gets a mouthful of cold water as the tendril brings him ever closer...
GB and Lana are now about 35' from the roper across the river on the northern ledge, while Bel is in the river being held by the strong tendril, and Aregarak is engaged with the roper on the southern ledge.

Aregarak rips free of the lashing tendril, tearing it apart! Pieces of the tendril fall to the floor around him.
