Flynn gave Blaise a nod of thanks- he never had been comfortable at the front of a fight. Then he raised his pistol, waiting to see what was out there...

The flames leaping from Old Zef's hand cause the gray ooze to writhe, delaying its advance on the other demi-culverin long enough for Etienne's well-timed throw of a heavy calcified stone to splatter its amoebic form across the floor, disappearing in the black vapors of the spell ward.
However, the salty dwarf's fires aren't enough to stop the animated chain. Nia's arrow deflects off the writhing chain, clattering across the stone cavern, and swallowed by the roiling black vapors on the cavern floor. This only draws its attention to her as well. Lashing out, the chain, crushes around Old Zef's arm and neck, yanking him forward into the hungry black tentacles (9 bludgeoning damage and grappled - action to escape DC 13; also make a DC 15 Dex save vs. tentacles); the other end of the chain follows suit, twining about Nia's bow arm and her waist, yanking her into the space Old Zef just occupied (9 bludgeoning damage and grappled - action to escape DC 13). Getting a clear shot on the chain for anyone but Old Zef and Nia using a melee attack will be perilous for the grappled dwarf and sea witch.
SCHLIKT!
Blaise's reflexive rapier lunge pierces an animate kelp monster. Just like the ones that the kelpie had conjured forth earlier. However the thin piercing blade of the rapier doesn't carry enough mass to kill the creature...
CRACK!
Flynn's shot misfires! Too much damp down here in these sea caves for the powder. A burst of gunpowder smoke and a loud CRACK echo in the chamber, temporarily dazing and deafening Blaise, who is a bit too close to the blast for comfort (Blaise deafened and monsters have advantage to attack him until end of next round). Clearing out the pistol will take time the Irishman doesn't have now (about 15 minutes).
Another small seaweed monster peers around the corner, studying Blaise for a moment before both lung at his legs. Fortunately Blaise's footwork is enough to avoid their slashing tendrils, save for the merest scratch (1 slashing damage).
From around the corner, Blaise can make out a few more of the seaweed creatures, apparently having crawled out from the cave where the canoe is moored. They seem distracted by the grick carcasses for now, however.

Katerina hesitated momentarily, stuck between the two groups, knowing they needed to go forward, knowing the goal was only steps away, but also knowing they would need to get out no matter what happened. She grimaced, her father would know what to do here, her father would not hesitate with all these lives in his hands.
In the end they needed to escape. In the end, she'd heard Old Zef's call of "I have this." She turned her back to the treasure and headed back to the room they just came from, holstering the pistol, pulling her other cutless.
Attacking the creature Blaise was in combat alongside him, she commented, "Let's rid the cavern of these things together so we can make a quick exit once we're done, si?"
The cavern hallway made for a tight squeeze, causing one of her blades to go horribly amiss while the other stuck into the creature's slimy wet body.

Katerina manages to squeeze past Flynn, brushing up against the Irishman in a way that in any other circumstances besides being stuck in a dismal sea cave would be quite risqué, and narrowly slides past Blaise, cutting the seaweed monster before him into smithereens before nimbly hopping to face the next coming down the passage.

Katerina steps to the next creature and again cuts at it with the swords. The quicker they cleared this room the faster she could get back to the main room. She lost her footing a little on the wet rocks when she turned, causing one of her cutlasses to go wide while the other took a solid chop into the weeds.

As the chain about his arm and neck yanks Old Zef off balance, his peg leg scratching across the cave floor, he is grasped by the writhing squid tentacles emerging from the black vapors. ((take the initial 6 bludgeoning damage, and then at the start of your turn in the black tentacles take that 6 bludgeoning damage again, so 12 total))
Katerina's one cutlass strikes the wall so hard that sparks fly – that blade will need to be tended to on a whetstone later – but her other splits the seaweed creature right down the middle, leaving bits of kelp strewn about the cavern floor. The cutlass seems to be the right tool for handling them. Two more, deeper in the chamber still reeking of the worm carcasses pay only fleeting attention to you, however, more concerned with attempting to drag off pieces of one carcass.
