The water level drops, and exposes more of the tentacles. Whisper flicks her tongue against the back of her teeth, gauging the best move, and decides that some massive damage would be best. If they can 'convince' this creature that whatever's in that portal isn't worth the pain they're causing...or just destroy the tentacles entirely...then closing the portal should be much easier.
She gathers power as she incants, breathing magic in and boiling it inside her. Flames wreathe her head and shoulders, and run down her arms in rivulets that pool in her hands. The air around her shimmers and dances from the heat of it, until the moment she lets it all fly out in a pair of blindingly bright tongues of fire that lance down from the catwalk she's standing on and track livid scorches across the monstrous rubbery flesh of the tentacles writhing below!
(Empowered Scorching Ray! It's a full round action to cast, so she doesn't get to move, but each ray does +50% damage. For the purposes of the die roller, I just rolled 6d6 damage instead of 4d6...hope that okay. It averages out to 50% more, right? Let me know if you want me to reroll. Anyway, two ranged touches, one was 25, the other 19; doing 21 and 23 fire damage respectively.)
