Turn 23: Slime and Time"Well... Maybe I can do something."
Force the water around the threat to become denser, stopping the creatures from moving.
"Good plan.
Drzkktizz will cover retreat. Do not linger by the clouds-keep orientation."
Action: Drop more clouds of inky disrupting poison into the enemies ranks to cover our retreat. Ideally combine it with Ochitas magic, so we can literally mire them in slime.
[5+2-3-1][1+2-2-1] Ochita manages to thicken the water around them, while Drzkktizz infuses it with poisonous slime. Much to the horror of everyone who can feel emotion, the slime sticks to the creatures without harming them. It will probably come off just fine onto anything they attack, however, quite likely slowing and enfeebling them at the same time.
[5] Ochita feels fine.
Ochita:+4 WaterNow Adept Water MageDwarmin:+1 PoisonThe group quickly dashes into the room, with Pitonous and Athara standing at the ready near the doorway.
The undulating shapes around the glowing pit begin thrashing rhythmically, and more deep cracking sounds can be heard from the pit.
The tentacled things, now covered in toxic slime, halt their rush just shy of the doorway, slithering about rather than rushing in. Two suddenly dart forward, avoiding clogging the doorway in exchange for bringing fewer to bear at once.
[5] vs [3] The first one grabs Pitonous, smearing him with slime in addition to bringing its beak down.
[6+2] vs [3+2] Pitonous responds by stabbing it in the soft part of its body fairly deeply. It shrieks, but doesn't die.
-2 HP+1 Dodge+2 SwordsNow Slimed[5] vs [5-1] Athara nearly dodges the second, but it manages to constrict tightly on her forearm.
[1+1] vs [3+2] She attempts to bring her sword down on it, but misses badly.
