(OOC: You can't really fire a bow while swimming, and most weapon use underwater (let alone undersludge) gets very sketchy without Freedom of Movement or a Helm of Underwater Action--I believe a -2 penalty for every 5 feet. You may be able to walk along the bottom, or to attack from the surface versus total cover.)

*Whinoah descends towards the oozing gunk, but as she feels the thickness, she realises that she wouldn't be able to swim it while holding her bow. She fires a sacred arrow towards the sounds of combat, and the arrow glows pink as it flies through the air. It hisses as it touches the polluted mire, and there is a bright light as the water just around the arrow is purified and pushed aside with a huge splash as the water explodes to the sides and the arrow descends to slam into the bed, though the creature is revealed for an instant before the water and murk pours back in to fill the temporary gap.*
*Meanwhile, Obscurity tries to get away, but the creature closes its tentacle around her as she does so, constricting slightly and holding her in place. Then it moves her towards its mouth, and...swallows her whole!*
(OOC: Obscurity takes 27, then 20, bringing her to 53
Trayah again)

(OOC: The surface of a body of water blocks line of effect for any fire spell, even if the caster makes the DC 24 Spellcraft check to convert it into steam)

(OOC: She can cast, but she counts as Grappled for those purposes so it needs to have no Somatic and the disgestion damage is persistant, so it applies against her Concentration check. Also, the back of the eye appears to also have a pupil that stares inside of the creature and provides an Antimagic Field)
*Lyssa waves weakly to Obscurity from inside the creature, clearly near-death.*
*Meanwhile, Trayah's elemental has temporarily fizzled out from the eye, which turned to it after Obscurity was swallowed.*
(OOC: 8 more damage, I've got an idea to get Trayah his Flamestrike though)
*Trayah readies an action to Flamestrike when Whinoah's attack parts away the water. Whinoah has ideas of her own for this. She rapidly fires three shots--the first splits the water aside as before, though again it misses, but the second and the third follow directly on its heels while the water is still away, aiming dead-on for the central eye and hitting once with an incredible blow.*
(OOC: Critical hit--51 damage! And then another 21)
*The sacred arrow pierces clean through the central eye, which pops with a sickening spurt of puslike milky substance. Meanwhile, the antimagic effect ends immediately. This...does not go well for our antagonist. Obscurity suddenly regains dinosaur form and size inside its stomach, which causes the creature to explode outward in all directions.*
(OOC: A bit of an unconventional way of beating a monster, but hey--it works, and Trayah didn't even need to use the Flame Strike
)
