What would the effect of casting create pit on her be? Would it just drop the tentacles in the pit with her? Would the tentacles stay hovering in the air with her grappled? Would they get dispelled and she drops in the pit? If it would result in her getting dropped in the pit, with no tentacles, Colin will do that. If it will result in her still being in the tentacles Colin will summon a lantern archon and have it cast aid on her for

When the PCs defeat Corners of Spheres, Ralzeros awakens. He speaks to the PCs in a muted and distant voice that seems to emanate from his body as a whole rather than from the mouth-shaped part of his face. His speech intersperses coherent explanations with tangents during which his thought process becomes muddled and detached from the human experience, similar to the thoughts of Corners of Spheres and its minions.
After the tortures he has endured, Ralzeros’s mind is filled with suffering. He is haunted and paranoid, weary of existence, and guilty over his failures and losses. He is also filled with hatred and fear of himself. One of the consequences of his interactions with the Dark Tapestry was an obsessive desire to learn more of its secrets, a desire that still haunts him. He explains to the PCs that even if he were to manage to keep that obsession in check, Corners of Spheres may still come after him again someday. The being that the PCs defeated was only a projection of a far stronger entity. The last major trouble that weighs on his mind is existential—he wonders if he is truly Ralzeros, or simply a copy of a portion of Ralzeros’s mind that Corners of Spheres created for its amusement.
He bemoans his hubris and explains that he believed that the power of magically binding oaths enforced with sacred geometry would be enough to keep beings from the Dark Tapestry at bay. However, as the desire for knowledge grew within him, his obsessions eroded his sense of caution. It was at that point that he swore an oath to a more powerful being, Corners of Spheres, and his decline accelerated.
Ralzeros leaves his fate in the PCs’ hands.

After her near death experience, Ma'Lha is quite shaken. But quickly regain composure as she learns of Razelros dreadful fate.
But all that knowledge he accumulates couldn't be lost! It need to be recorded and used!
I think it will be good to take him with us. Lady Zarta will certainly find a way to take care of him and protect him from Corner of Sphere.
Turning to the shadows she asks Daosvaria, what do you think?

Ingrge ponders a moment...he wonders for a moment if it might be more prudent to kill Ralzeros...and perhaps even more merciful considering the astrologer's tortured state...but he has neither the heart nor the inclination to do so...and leaving him here is not an option...
Ingrge sighs as he nods. "Aye...I agree...we should take him back with us as our superiors may be able to heal his fractured mind..."
The ranger will keep his bow handy though, just in case...

When the PCs activate the signal Zarta prepares a return path. One round later, a glowing golden portal appears next to the PC who opened it, allowing for their safe return. The portal remains open for two minutes.
When you return, it is immediately clear to the PCs that Zarta, Nigel, and Ambrus are preparing for a fight. For his part, Ralzeros does not even seem to notice the initial hostility. His attention is focused on analyzing the geometry of the space and grappling with a sense of vague familiarity in his surroundings. He is intensely disoriented and willing to consider whatever plans the PCs propose for his next steps. Dark Archive PCs might wish to convince him to share his knowledge with the faction with a Diplomacy or Knowledge (arcana) check.
