Mostly he needs another big round from Lothan, hoping he can put his big mouth in a position where it is actually backed up.
Tristain does a slow clap in his head as he watches Lothan shoot with the exact same accuracy with which he pisses. Why is *always* outside my tent?
Tristain offers a big boy spell at the offending monster, casting Disintegrate.

vs. Fort 24 or instead.
Starflit swoops acrobatically up to Al, trying to avoid any incoming attacks from the horror. Casting defensively, she attempts to pump some life back into the fallen totally normal human. "You might want to heal yourself some more!" she suggests as her friends continue to take the fight to the monster.
After Lothan's arrows do nothing but distract it long enough for the azata to get in a lucky strike, Tristain's spell manages to finish the creature off!

Kyffin smiles as the group is yet again victorious! ”That was closer than usual, Al, are you OK?” He sends the lilend azata to heal the totally human friend.
He then sends the azata away, with thanks.
For himself, he starts with some fast healing (3 for 1m), and tops up with the wand.
”Anyone need more healing?” He offers the wand.

Tristain moves away from any future static discharges and waits patiently to use the wand to tend to his own injuries.
CLWs
He will re-cast False Life: temp hp
"Wow, that guy just sucked, and he wasn't even a polyp," Tristain moans and grouses while looking for a good wall to bonk while others recover themselves.
*bonk*!
*bonk*!
*bonk*!
*bonk*!
*bonk*!
*bonk*!
Starflit uses another cure serious wounds spell to heal herself before asking if anyone else still needs healing. She winces as Tristain again bonks away on the creepy polyp-engineered building.
Al wakes up with the azata healing his wounds and checks to see that everything is still attached properly after the not-dragon's bite. "That was too close, I'll be glad to leave this cursed city when our task is complete." The old man creakily rises to his feet and brushes the worst of the dirt and dust from his shiny armor.
Kyffin will loot, just in case, but otherwise suggest they continue on - when everyone is ready. And, as usual, he agrees with Al.
After you finish healing -- and searching fruitlessly for any loot -- you move on to the next area. Within this immense gallery, dozens of broad columns reverberate with a sickening chorus of whistling wind that echoes and clashes with itself. Before you can do more than look in, however, a loud voice radiates from Kyffin's blade: "FINALLY! ABERRATIONS FOR ME TO KILL! STOP JUST STANDING AROUND LOLLYGAGGING! THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE!"
Round 1, Init 21
As usual, Tristain does the smart thing: he casts Haste and books it back and out of line of sight and effect. He’s not going to be caught when they either start to blow or suck or both.

Starflit casts a flame strike, trying to catch both polyps in the effect . Close but no cigar....
Starflit next uses two judgments (Protection and Purity) to protect herself before closing on the nearest beastie.
Rolling his eyes at the fact that there are two of them, "You gotta be freaking kidding me." Lothan sighs heavily as he takes aim and just fires away at the nearest one.
Missing absolutely everything and feeling quite confident that he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat, Lothan rolls his eyes and exclaims, "You gotta be freaking kidding me!"

Tristain hurries the party along and retreats as Lothan and Starflit pour arrows and magic into the nearest of the polyps. Unfortunately, the swirling wind creates havoc with Lothan's aim, sending his arrows flying. Starflit doesn't have anymore luck with her magic, as it seems to melt away against the creature.
The nearest one floats back slightly, but sends a blast of wind that explodes among the group of you. Meanwhile, a strange wind seems to pull them back into the room toward the other monstrosity.
Lothan manages to just dodge out of the way of the massive blast before he finds himself stuck in place. "Well, this sucks."
Tristain wishes he could bonk out a morse code to some people, but it's hard to believe those people would get it, but he does know in his heart of minds, that haste still exists.

Kyffin gets hammered, and cannot close with the enemy, losing his haste in the process (I think the slow and haste would just cancel each other - right?).
Kyffin, unable to close, will summon a Lilend Azata who can, perhaps, help. He summons it right next to the closest critter, but not in the way of the archers who might shoot something. Maybe. He’ll then move in a sideways zigzag, never getting closer, to be 15’ in the air. He’ll also swiftly cast Divine Favor (+4 attacks/damage (luck)) with fervor.
The Azata begins a bardic performance (Inspire +2 everyone, move) and draws her longsword (move).

Tristain pauses, hoping that others remember to use electricity if they have it, like suppose they are holding a powerful electric weapon or are playing with balloons on the fur of cats or something.
Round 2, Init 24
Tristain peeks from cover to offer a bit of magical support. He shoots at the closer to jerk and tries to stay out of line of effect.

Al slowly wipes dirt on his wounds and calls upon his god for protection from the evil before them.
Finding himself unable to move from his current spot, that doesn't keep Lothan from continuing to fire upon the beast.
Starflit can't avoid the mighty wind blast and it tears away some of her skin. The inquisitor casts a cure serious wounds spell upon herself before marching forward to engage the nearest beast.

Al heals himself and calls on blessings, which fall on everyone nearby, though Tristain is too far away to get its benefits. To be fair, he's likely too far away to be hurt either, but one never knows if something could come up from behind.
As Kyffin again summons an azata and ascends, a familiar voice clearly expresses its disapproval: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DON'T JUST WALK BACK AND FORTH! GO KILL THEM! DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF?!"
Best friends Lothan and Tristain seem to act in unison, as if they were sharing a mind, both targeting the nearest polyp while Starflit closes in on it. Tristain's attack is far more effective, however, as the wind again seems to throw off Lothan's attempts. It may simply be too strong for arrows! The creature lashes out at Starflit, but perhaps it's too amazed at her ability to ignore the sucking wind, as the tentacle doesn't even come close to her.
It adjusts, though, and slams her with its next two attempts, while the azata escapes worse harm, even slipping out of the grasp of one tentacle. Meanwhile, the strange wind continues from the other one
Then it seems to cast a spell, and a wall of wind suddenly springs up between most of the group and the two polyps, Starflit and the azata!
P1: 42
P2:
Tristain watches as Lothan's arrows go all over the place, probably because of the "airquote"*wind*"airquote".
Wow, there is not 1, not 2, but 3 sucking monsters out there.
Tristain ponders how to snap his team out of the doldrums.
vs DC 26 or stuck
I'll think on what to do next since I can't get closer. Other than argue with my blade of course.
"I'm trying! You got anything that'll let me get closer?!"
Al struggles to move forward, can Erastil will him through the moment...

Round 3, Init 24
Tristain flies closer to Lothan, and, touching the man, casts Dimension Door to blamph both of them to the other side of the wall of wind. He hopes to find a place definitely out of melee reach and also somewhat far away (within 75' or so).
He hopes to give the Lothan a clear full round attack at the injured polyp without putting himself in any danger.

Taken somewhat by surprise, Lothan finds himself free of the locked-down area and quickly fires away. Just keep firing, just keep firing, firing, firing, just keep firing, runs through Lothan's mind in a sing-song way.
Al moves forward along with Kyffin.
Empowering her magical starknife with greater bane vs. aberrations, Starflit swings it three times at the monster, thanks to Tristain's haste spell.

Realizing Tristain's magic (or maybe it's really the Black Butterfly?) is allowing you to move more capably, you move in. Tristain grabs his best friend Lothan and teleports the two of them to the other side of the wind wall, allowing the archer to land a couple of arrows in the nearest polyp. Starflit slashes it as Kyffin and Al -- the former harangued by the sword: "DO I NEED TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF?!" -- move in.
Behind you, Kaklatath seems to struggle with the lightning gun, but finally is able to fire it. Unfortunately, it misses badly, the lightning blasting harmlessly against the wall.
The polyp lashes out, focusing on Starflit after it cut her, and the azata. The second seems to cast again, catching Lothan and Tristain in a river of wind!

Tristain grimaces as his reward for trying to help Lothan was a blast of angry air. Not even a thank you. Sheesh.
He pauses to see how he can best help others fight.

"Okay, time to die. And I mean the creature, not me. Just so I'm clear." Lothan fires another multitude of arrows, aiming for the thing's stupid face.
Al struggles against the wind and the odds only to find he's the last to arrive at the battle. "Danged polyps!" Blade whirling he attacks the creature.
Starflit considers healing herself again but decides it's best to try to eliminate one of the polyps immediately. Her starknife stabs at it in a whirl of motion.

Al cuts into the polyp, but Kyffin is surprised when his first cut seems to be perfectly lined up and the creature flickers, causing him to miss. "COME ON!" the sword cries, before finally cutting into the polyp. "YES, LIKE THAT! ARE YOU SEEING HOW MUCH I'M HELPING? REMEMBER WHAT I CAN DO!"
As the two warriors and Starflit crowd around the creature, they seem to distract it enough for Lothan to finally hit, his arrows -- despite seeming to not sink deeply into the awful polyp -- and Tristain's magic missiles just enough to kill the monstrosity. Unfortunately, as Kaklatath approaches and fires its lightning gun -- missing badly again -- the three warriors are left along in the front, perfectly clustered with the azata for the other polyp. It explodes the air around them, which blasts back against them.
P2:
Starflit seizes up as the polyp's blast crashes over her. Her eyes close briefly as her consciousness starts to fade...but then reopen: the magical belt her superiors gifted her provides that extra bit to keep her conscious! "Gotta...heal," she manages to croak at Kyffin, Al, and the azata. One spell later, the inquisitor's still looking worse for wear. She swiftly staggers to the side to avoid remaining clumped together with the others and then moves a bit closer to the last polyp as well .

Kyffin takes it full in the face, and the azata is blown to smithereens! Kyffin moves up toward the other polyp - double move.
Taking the full brunt of the explosion, Lothan quickly works to gather himself and turns his focus upon the last one left.
Round 5, Init 24
Tristain shoots at the remaining polyp.

Al charges in, but the vicious blow from the polyp throws off his own aim . Another one prevents Kyffin from even getting a swing off -- "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?" the sword complains -- while Starflit keeps some distance between herself and the others . Tristain's magic missiles hit home as do two of Lothan's arrows, but as before the shifting shape of the polyp means one shot that he was certain was going to hit instead misses.
The creature focuses on the two closeby threats, lashing Al and Kyffin with its tentacles. The tentacles wrap around the two combatants as the polyp begins to crush the life out of them.
P2: 61
Starflit invokes her Freedom's Call ability to give Kyffin and Al a fighting chance against the monster.
Lothan just keeps firing.
