Llyra uses her whip skills to trip up the two Red Mantis Assassins before she then creates copies of herself.
You notice a Shoanti who is peering through a door nearby and spying in on the group. A very familiar Shoanti you recognise him as Krojun.
Curnach acends up the elevator 40ft only 30ft from the top.
Shadowcount Sial remains behind, but casts a spell on Asyra, the Kyton.

will save:
The Red Mantis in the corner now transforms into a Sheep with all it's gear merging into the human's new form and the remaining assassin keeps up the courage and fights back anyway.
The sheep simply bleets and remains in the corner, clearly now sniffing the ground and looking for anything to eat.
Jerin would have blocked anyone from entering his square or at least made sure he felt the Squeeze effect...not sure it makes any difference though.
He would take any attacks needed to draw them off Krenn or at least cancel the flank.
As Krenn drops Jerin grows severe, You will pay for this assassin!
Cast Hideous Laughter
Llyra, make him suffer!
The guy falls over laughing as hard as he possibly can and being unable to control himself.
Shadowcount sial begins his emergence up the illumacron and Laori continues her way up and arrives on the floor. Seeing the Assassin she imbues her weapon swiftly and then attacks the assassin.
attack 1:
damage:
attack 2:
damage:
After her second attack, Laori has silenced the assassin.
Shoanti fighters:
Trinia spends her time casting sleep
Havero's ocular tenticle strikes at one of the shoanti.
attack:
damage:
CMB:
Battle goes on outside, you hear the shoanti warriors shouting for help and Trinia too.
Edit:
There are tenticles emerging from the ground. The two to the east and the one nearest to the group ends in a claw, however the final one ends in a black eyeball where the tenticle has currently wrapped itself around one of the shoanti. The tenticals themselves only take up the space of a normal person, but have a enormous reach.
You can't see the creature, but the tentacles are emerging from beneith the water. Trinia is casting a spell and inspiring courage with her dancing movements, though so far it appears to be having little effect on one of the guides.
Despite her injuries, Llyra looks outside the door to see what is there.
Knowledge(Religion/Planes/Local/Arcana):
Jerin, what is this and does it have any weaknesses?
Edit: Asyra levitates up and stands on where the fallen Krenn is and unleashes her chains on the hapless assassin.
attack:
damage:
She then leers at the assassin, her face transforming for a moment into a beautiful woman with long blond hair that gives the assassin a deathly gaze.
For the first tiem in combat, the assassin shrieks in fear and confusion. None of you recognise the face she made nor are affected by it, but whatever she just did has terrorfied him.
The Assassin is still standing so Jerin's action might be the same to buy time for looking outside. Up to you all at the end of the day.
Most you can pick up is that these things are an abberation. From some creature with a alien phsiology and you've never seen nor heard of this creature before.
Jerin will draw out his Rod of Quicken, Lesser and look out the door.
I am unsure what that is, but I will be dealing with it swiftly!
Cast wall of fire North to South turning the corner of the pool on the south end to turn the corner for 5’ and then ending in the south wall. The tentacles will have to go through the Wall in order to get at us.
He then uses the Rod to cast scorching ray on the tentacle holding the warrior. Curnach, a summoned creature would be useful to keep the tentacles occupied while we get out of here!
The asssassin, seeing his chance decides to cast a spell
defensive casting:
His spell gets off and he attempts to run, but Asyra comes after him with her chain and takes the assassin down before he managed to run out of the door and he collapses to the floor.
attack:
crit threat:
damage:
The first beam of fire appears to burn the creature slightly but the second ray doesn't appear to cause any harm to the tentacle. However, the rays did hit with easy percision as it moved sluggishly.

Seeing the strange aberration, Llyra puts her hand to the golden wasp emblem on her chest and calls upon the blessing of the Savored Sting. A moment later, a beautiful glowing and scantily clad woman appears in the middle of the left pool, between the two tentacles, with a long golden whip in her hand. The woman draws back her whip and lashes out at the tentacle holding the warrior.
Cast Spiritual Ally to appear between the two tentacles.

These tenticals belong to a abberation from beyond time and space. A creature that has not been seen nor heard of since before Starfall. A group of conjurers who, you now realised lived here, had a habbit for summoning creatures from other planes and planets in this universe.
Someone had told them about one great and powerful being known as the Havero. It consists of a large lump of tenticals at a single view, but it's true form is unknown. It had an almost unendless supply of tentacles that can be summoned from it's body and is almost immortal. From what you can tell, it does not appear to be awake.
The appendages have a mind of it's own and the creature itself cannot be awoken without a special ritual that is unknown to all apart from the gods and other masters of conjuration and with your vast knowledge of recollection of this creature, you too.
It is so powerful that no one has any chance to control it. It's own alien mind makes it impossible to manipulate it's mind and if you were to attempt that in any way, it would psychically lash-out at you. The creature is also immune to cole, inhaled effects, DR 20/-, resistance to acid, fire and cold along with a powerful spell resistance.
The tentacles however are far weaker than the main creature itself and as the case appears to be, but they will continue to sprout and regenerate and able to strech anywhere inside the complex, but not likly to reach outside.
The tentacles have only a minor resistance to attacks, besides slashing. They are immune to cold and inhaled effects due to being mere appendages and even poison and mind-affecting effects. It has a minor resistance to acid and fire.
They have the same range as it's main body below which is huge. There are also many different variations of the tentacles. You have the basic tentacles, a Ocular tentacle with a eye on it's end, slashing tentacles which can slice people up, armoured tentacles which are used to protect the main body from damage, grasping tentacles that have bonuses to grasp opponents they grab, Reaving tentacles that, when paid, can rend a target to peices if both hit such as a troll's claws.
You also have a acid-spewing tentacle which sprays a cone of acid that's 30ft long, but if more power was put into it the acid becoems more potent and it's length improves.
There is also the poison stinger tentacle which delivers a powerful, narcotical poison which drains the mental facalties of any who are struck by it and succom to the intense poison.
Even more alien, it can create a Incorporeal tentacle which delivers negative energy and drains the charisma of any who are touched by it. Unlike the others, it can pass through solid walls and barriers.
Finally there is the Vorpal Tentacle. This is a tentacle that ends in a vicious-looking pincer which, if lucky, can decapitate it's opponent.
From your knowledge of these tentacles you can tell the current ones involves are a single ocular tentacle and three slashing ones, but if you all spend too much time down here who knows what others may emerge.
The creature made entirely of force is in the form os a lithe and beautiful young elven woman with long blond flowing hair and a dress with a fashionable mix of yellow and black stripes. Her whip lashes out and strikes home on the creature that currently has the shoanti in a grip.
A familiar face emerges from the adjecent room. She charges towards Krenn and puts his Earthbreaker away to grasp and heft Krenn over his shoulder. He looks to the group just to say.
"He is great warrior. He will not die and rot here like a common Tshamek." he looks to his men and points out towards the creature. "Save our men and get out of this place. We need to leave this place before the demon takes us all."
Three other shoanti come out, charging past and into the hall, weilding Totem spears and then casting spells. They aim for an area but don't affect the spiritual ally.
The spell that is being cast is soundburst.
Curnach takes his time to stay in position to summon something, spending his time in concentraition for this powerful spell.
Shadowcount Sial continues to move up the illumacron, getting close to the top.
Laori bravely steps forward and casts stoneskin upon herself, hardening her exterior and making her look difficult to wound.
