Where Cole's spell did nothing, RT's attack is clearly noticed by the creature. It snarls and thrashes, more tentacles snaking in RT's direction. Meanwhile, Cole has begun sawing away at the tentacles holding him, still keeping up a truly creative string of vile invectives.

Bronn's strike cuts a deep gash into the creature's scaly hide, and the monster warbles in what appears to be pain. At the same time, however, its black ichor fountains out of the wound, coating Bronn in the disgusting substance. The blood doesn't appear to be dangerous in any way, but the unholy stench nearly makes Bronn retch, even in the sewer. Meanwhile, the tentacles questing after RT are withdrawn, snaking towards the Nova Vaasan mercenary, while the tentacles holding Cole slacken their grip slightly.

Bronn lets go of the bastard sword with his left hand, single-handing it easily, as he draws his longsword as well. He seems content to use the longsword to bat away questing tentacles while aiming another powerful slash at the creature's mouth.

The monster catches Bronn's next swing in its jaws, apparently without feeling much pain. It starts trying to tug his sword away with its mouth, whiles its tentacles continue to harrass him. Cole has finally extrciated himself, seeming a bit the worse for wear, and he draws his flintlock, levels it at the creature, and pulls the trigger.
Nothing happens.
Teach me to get gunpowder wet, I suppose.

Bronn bellows a curse and shifts his stance slightly so his left side was forward, putting the longsword to work on the offensive as well, apparently willing to take a hit or two if he's able to kill the thing in the process.

Cole manages a smirk as he ruefully stuffs the pistol into a cloak pocket.
"I'll live. Help them kill that thing."
The monster, pressed from two sides, is apparently too dimwitted to care. RT's attacks leave their share of injuries, but the monster remains focused on Bronn, still tugging at his sword, and taking savage wounds from the mounting assault.

Jebeddo's spell goes off rather spectacularly, illuminating the conflict with a clean, white radiance. Unfortunately, since the monster has no eyes, its only immediate effect is to make it a little easier for the combatants to evade its tentacles.

RT blinks back tears from the sudden light and continues her assualt, never gettting too close, never getting entirely out of range. She flicks her blades through the tentacles, severing or maiming as many as she can reach rather than trying to kill the creature flat out.

Bronn squints and curses under his breath before pressing the attack again, hoping to kill the creature before the spell dropped. He knew that when the spell went out, he would be fighting blind for a little, as his eyes would need to readjust.

The combined assault begins to take its toll. The creature's jaws release Bronn's sword, but it cannot retreat fast enough. Soon it has stopped moving, its grotestque body rolling over once in the filth of the sewer.
Cole shakes his head.
"Whatever that was, I hope we don't run into any more. That was far too difficult."
