Wall of Tentacles

You create a wall of squirming black tentacles on a solid surface within range. When a victim comes within 15 feet of the wall the tentacles grab them and send an alarm to the caster. The wall also has two beaks which it uses to attack those who are grappled causing 2D6 damage/round and the victim must save vs. poison or be paralyzed for the round.
