Rokelsh gives the command and follows Tanith and Shai's ranged attacks into the creature. The missiles go wide in the dark, but Rokelsh opens a large gash in the creature's worm-like body. The thing starts writhing in pain, and slaps Rogash repeatedly with the eight tentacles protruding from just under it's toothy maw. As he fights off the tentacles, the creature moves in and sink its teeth into Rokelsh's arm (3 damage).
Jonas arrives in time and lands a sturdy blow to the wretched thing, and the battle is over before it ever truly began.
Friadoc and Rogash stop mid-attack, somewhat disappointed that they didn't get their chance.
