Continue down the path closer to the tentacle beast.
The location to aim for is the middle of the tentacle blocking the path, and then whatever lies behind it upon passing. If the path forwards is clear, don't worry about it, and head downwards. If it looks blocked or mostly blocked by the tentacle, fire. The goal is to make it pull back the tentacle in shock, clearing the path. Sending fire down the hole while passing is intended to keep the path clear while Freddie would walk past where it's been.
(3) Well, by the time you get close enough to fire, the tentacle has dragged clear of the path. It has also dragged the path clear - clear off in a big jumbled pile to the right. you are moving slow enough that you can stop easily before hitting the giant gaping hole that the concourse has become. You stand on the edge of the furrow, snorting in itrritation and looking back and forth from the rubble, to the monster, to the path that resumes again thirty feet ahead.
"Oh gods, don't do that yet! Stop! Hold! No!"
Try to stop Freddy from harming the tentacle creatures using treats. Try to fly around the beast, avoiding it.
(2) you toss Freddie a treat, which he eats, while completely ignoring your existence otherwise. (2) You are forced to land beside Freddie's cart though, as in order to get close enough to tempt him with treats, you got a little to close to the rubble, which began tipping in your direction. So now you and Freddie are at the same location. And so is Valen, since Spaz didn't actually post an action this round, but was stil slowly approaching as of last round. Is the monster preparing to reach out again?
Try to time the movements of the creature so that maybe, when the tentacle isn't blocking the path forward, we'll be able to readily pilot our carts through without running too much of a risk of getting hit
(5) you fly a few dozen feet above the tentacles and rubble, just a short way off from where Freddie and Rex (and Valen, apparently) are standing next to the torn up concourse. "Hey guys! Up here! Neener neener neener!" And just like that you are flying in open space on the other side of the creature.
"Well then. I dunno about you lot, but I'm gonna head around it."
Start flying over the tentacles - if it suddenly becomes agitated or some such due to circumstance or other people's actions, however, hold off on it.
"I like the way you think, monkeyboyo! Gosh, this reminds me of a dirty story involving a baboon, a snake, three tons of cabbage, and half a dozen senators. Let me tell you, when senators are involved, that's some serious dirt!"
You tell a story involving some rather unlikely contortions, some sheer physical impossibilities, and enough colorful language to paint this dreary planetoid in technicolor.
Meanwhile, you fly safely to the other side of the beast, alongside Kongor, who seems to thoroughly appreciate your commentary.
update: three of you are parked at teh edge of the furrow left by the creature dragging half the concourse off to eat., tow of you are flying safely (probably safely) on the other side of the monster - you know, in the direction of the objective.)
