[sblock=OOC]I'm going to do this in sections, hopefully to make a bit more sense of things since there are essentially two different battles going on.[/sblock]
The nimble halfling produces a nanchaku and smashes the creatures flailing tentacle as it slaps Friadoc soundly on the shoulder, nearly knocking him off the wall.
The hearty dwarf learns forward with his glaive but is thrown off balance as the creature swings another tentacle toward him, and snaps wildly with its mangled maw.
Jonas steps forward and slices the thing cleanly; a long line of bile-filled ooze erupts from the large gash.
[sblock=details]
24 Friadoc 32/32: nanchaku attack (20=auto hit, 9+6=no crit, 6 damage)
19 Rogash Ungart 39/39: attacks with glaive (8+7=miss)
16 Jonas Cleighton 44/44: attacks with sword (13+10=hit, 9 damage)

Dyspeer holds, waiting for his master to give the command to attack.
Rokelsh steps through with a mighty swing of his greatsword, nearly severing the thing in half with one swing. A hot spray of gore erupts from the thing, but it still manages to press on.
Tanith, distracted from Rokelsh's impressive blow, lets her bolt fly wide, harmlessly skittering off the stone wall.
The creature lets out a deafening pain-filled howl. Tentacles flailing aimlessly, it gnashes its disgusting teeth at nothing in particular.
Shai swings at a flailing tentacle, but misses as he tries to duck the thing. Dyspeer, however, manages to grab onto it, causing the creature another good bit of pain.

15 Rokelsh 37/37: attacks with greatsword (17+12=hit, 14 damage)
