Frizz wades through the water, surrounding the shark.
She then plunges her sword into the back of the creature.
Frizz stabs the watery beast, injuring it like any normal fish, save that its "blood" seems to be just more water.

Lilika draws a dagger and thrusts it at the shark, then raises her shield.
Lilika scratches the shark with her dagger. The brine shark then seizes Frizz and nearly tears her arm off. There is a terrible amount of blood in the water!

Cradling her injured arm against her chest, Frizz lashes out with her sword, desperate to end the fight. Retreating a bit after her assault.
Perfire changes tactics and launches a full salvo of magical missiles at the shark-creature.
Friz stabs the shark and Perfire riddles it with eldtritch blasts! It begins to look very ragged.

"Get them soppin' choppers off our friend!" Wymond commands as he strikes again!
Lilika stabs the creature twice more, then raises her shield to defend herself.
Between the two of them, Wymond and Lilika put an end to the brine shark. Its form collapses back into the water, dissipating as if it had never been.
COMBAT OVER
Frizz expels a sigh of relief and collapses her upper body onto the inflated waterskin, arms dropping into the water.
"Adventuring is tough... All the books I've read made it sound so fun. Where are the books about being eaten by a shark in a flooded dungeon?!?"
After a moment, she grabs a potion off her bandolier and downs it, replacing it with one from her bag.
Wiping her mouth, she gestures ahead.
"Welp. I feel a bit better, but not great."
'I wonder if we clear some of that wreckage from near the grate that it will get rid of some of this water?'
"Here lemme help ye with that, Frizz," Wymond says, going to tend to her wounds.
Lilika takes Perfire's advice and tries to move the wreckage from the grate.
After several minutes, Lilika moves enough flotsam from the grate that water begins to drain at a faster rate, pouring through the grate and down into the dark. Less water up here... but more down there.
The flow is strong and Lilika must struggle to get back from the grate. After about ten minutes, the water here is only about calf-height for a human.
Frizz watches Lilika's workas Wymond pokes around at her wounds.
Wincing as his finger roughs a laceration up that continues to bleed, she says.
"Err, thanks Wymond. I think I'll just drink another potion."
"Let's go check out the next room! Wymond and I can keep using these Azlanti flute for breathing with our faces in the water."
"Sorry, Frizz...not sure how somethin' made outta water could bite like that...some real strange witchery down 'ere, that's fer shure."
When he sees Lilika's handiwork, he smiles.
"Great work, Lili! That'll make gettin' around here easier, an' kinda and denies them fish-people we're gonna have te fight an advantage."
Frizz sloshes ahead and sees another water-filled room. On the north wall stands a shimmering region of light and from this trickles a slight but constant stream of water. Sturdy tables stand above the water level. Some are stacked with crates, others with bedding.
'Land ho!' Perfire calls out quietly, splashing forward into the room, continuing to search for magical sources.
"Aye, Perry. That should make things easier fer you an' Frizz!" Wymond replies as he slogs after him, Triath swimming along.
In an all-too familiar scene, the water begins to roil and form a living shape, only much, much bigger than the water-shark. This time it rises up and takes the form of a living waterfall, a cascade of water with a vaguely humanoid face. With a voice made of churning water, it roars "Fish-Man enemies! Water-Man enemies! Kill shark-pet! Kill you!"
The wave slams into Wymond, Perfire and Frizz. The first two manage to dodge out of the way or simply stand against it, but Frizz is knocked off her feet and thrown back hard against the wall!

Perfire reaches out, touching Wymond's weapon, which begins to glow with arcane energies. 'This should help.'
He begins to then carefully maneuver around the creature.
Trigger You would take damage from an attack, spell, or other effect.
Your supernatural connection sometimes causes you to phase from reality when under threat, disappearing for split seconds before reappearing—often surprising you as much as your enemies. Roll a DC 16 flat check. On a success, you gain resistance to all damage equal to your level against the triggering effect, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to saving throws against that effect until the start of your turn, and you gain the dazzled condition for 1 round.
Hopping up from her unexpected slam against the wall, Frizz skirts around the creature and stabs in its back, before moving away from it's reach.
Lilika's shield snaps up as she prepares for the wave's onslaught. Conjuring a glob of acid in her other hard, she whips it around the side of the shield at the creautre.
Does this thing even have a back? lol
Frizz stabs into the waterfall with her sword while Lilika dilutes it with acid!

Wymond stands firm as the water washes over him, and then he strikes back at the...water-thing, as he spits the water out of his mouth, an annoyed look on his face.
Wymond slashes through the wall of living water, appearing to disturb the roiling green somewhat. The wall smashes back!
The big wave smashes Wymond and Perfire back. The little halfling hits the wall behind him so hard it knocks him out cold. Face down in the water, he begins to drown!

"Perfire!"
Frizz gasps as she rushes in to attack.
OhGodsWhatIfItComesAfterMeNext.
Frizz retreats back after slashing at the creature of water.
Lilika grimaces slightly at the sickening thud of the halfling hitting the wall, then wills some primal energy to infuse the water in Perfire's lungs to make him whole again. Ever cautious, she snaps her shield back into place.
Frizz manages to stab the furious elemental in some esoteric nexus of power, weakening the bonds that tie it to the material plane.
Calling upon the very power of water and creation, Lilika uses those forces to knit Perfire's skull back together.

I think we'll have to handle it just like this. Go ahead and tell me what it does.
Ideally, you should set up an if/than condition under which you'll use it in the future.
As he sees the creature surge towards Perfire, Wymond tries to interpose himself to block the worst of it.
"OI!" he gurgles. "Pick on somebody yer own size!"
He strikes back as best he can!
There being no one his size, the elemental continues as before, but the paladin did manage to intercept some of the damage.

Perfire sputters up a fair amount of water but somehow manages to keep his feet through the elemental's assault. 'I'm OK!' Perfire calls out, just barely able to hear his companion's worry. He then looses a full salvo of magical missiles at the watery beast.
The tiny darts of pure arcane force rip easily through the elemental's body.

Wymond presses the attack, trying to beat the elemental back!
"GET BACK YE SOGGY SOD!"
The elemental simply sways, swishes and splits in half to avoid Wymond's slashing bardiche, then it counterattacks, crashing down onto Wymond and Perfire again. Wymond is slammed into the wall. Perfire can hardly see or hear in all the roaring and crashing.

Frizz rushes in again to strike at the "soggy sod", then steps back to avoid the melee.
"Perfire, get out of there!"
Nearly choking, Perfire weakly nods as he sloshes through the water, attempting to get away from the watery thing. He gives the strange glowing portal a wide berth as he makes his way past it. The halfling tucks into the next alcove down and presses himself against the wall, trying to catch his breath.
Lilika continues to hurl acid at the watery foe.
Raise Shield, Acid Splash on furthest corner from Wymond..
Wymond sputters at the watery onslaught and clutches his holy symbol. It suffuses his body with a haze of green and gold that causes some of his bruises to fade.
Then he strikes back at the creature!
Triath, now empowered by Erastil's holy power, moves around to try and flank the monster, savaging it with his newly-grown tusks!
Wymond, Frizz and Lilika all attack while Perfire retreats. Lilika slightly singes the watery being. It crashes into the Wymond and Lilika with tons of water!
