I think the thing's nest is above us, and there is a way to climb up to it.
Beorn is improving the tale of The Pearl Diver of Korsova and The Lusty Siren.
Beorn's eyes and mouth are open as his head dips under the water, his arms flail wildly and his legs kick in an uncoordinated manner.

We gotta help them... Rope! Ulfrec indicates the nearly capsized canoe and overboard Bard.
Calain moves down to the water (drawing his dagger as part of the move and drops his Greatsword on the ground just short of the waters edge and begins to wade in hip deep and thrashing about in an attempt to distract whatever is knocking the boat.
Over here Beastie! Dinner's here!

Finger tips break the murky water then quickly disappear followed by a slew of air bubbles. The bard is not visible from the surface.
Ulfrec looks for a long and strong vine, to use as a rope.
The land crew witness the bard flailing around in the water, Calain bravely enters the water trying to distract whatever lays beneath the surface. Ulfrec you do see some strong looking vines growing around the Cypress tree.
Cutting an appropriate length... Ulfrec asks Bradan to take it to waters edge and toss it to Calain.
Still oblivious to the damfer under the boat Poke Poke scolds the flailing bard
"Hey dumb dumb, now is probably not a good time to go for a swim."
"Yeah, good idea! I think I got some rope in this pack too!"
Bradan heads to the edge of the water and starts digging around for rope.

As Calain wades out chest high into the mucky swamp water.
The fighter splashes in the mucky swamp water to draw attention to himself.
Blub! Blub! Blub!
"Careful, Mr. Poke. A creature is below us and might attack us still!"
"You are correct Doctor, that half orc bard is a creature. You've heard his singing right?"

Aggrah says a quick prayer to Pulura in Beorns name
Ward (Su) (Advanced Player's Guide pg. 67): A witch can use this hex to place a protective ward over one creature. The warded creature receives a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saving throws. This ward lasts until the warded creature is hit or fails a saving throw. A witch knows when a warded creature is no longer protected. A witch can have only one ward active at a time. If the witch uses this ability again, the previous ward immediately ends. A witch cannot use this ability on herself. At 8th level and 16th level, the bonuses provided by this ward increase by +1.
Deftly staying up right Poke Poke moves toward the back of the canoe.
"We should probably pull loud mouth back in before he gives away our position." Poke Poke says to Dr. Tes as he starts scanning the water for the wayward bard.
"Hey Doctor there's some sort of turtle thing under here"
Born tries to swim more
Beorn breeches the surface of the water gasping for breath. The panicked bard has been enlightened with a couple near death lyrics as he scrambles to tread water. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
Beorn tries to channel the floating powers of the divine Log.
Standing near the edge of the water, Bradan tosses his rope towards the canoe.
"Give this to Beorn, if you can. You can see better in the dark than me."
ranged attack
Beorn's frantic flailing has made his drift away from the canoe and out of reach from its occupants.
Bradan tosses the rope towards the canoe and it lands within stretching range of the canoes occupants.
Wrgbbbhhhhhhhhh!
Enemy
Calain when you step off the ledge you feel an attempt to bite you. You feel that the creature has some sort of protective shell as it takes it's nip.
;
Ulfrec looks for a place to tie the line.
Reflexively Calain takes a breath and stabs down at the thing nipping his leg. He didn't really want to engage with it but he needed it to follow him away from the bard.
He then back paddles, attempting to kick backwards to shore
Good thing I didn't splurge for chainmail
Calain strike the creature and then kicks backwards.

The creature is still underwater. Calain you can make out the outline of the creature.

Beorn tries swimming to the rope
Beorn manages to get himself to the rope which he frantically grabs.
Feeling tension on the rope, Bradan starts to haul it in.
"Hope this is Beorn, and not a gator!"
to yank the bard up
Ulfrec and Geri help Bradan...
Not a gator! Beorn orc paddles to the canoe.
Ulfrec, hand over hand, with Geri biting and pulling... hauls in the corpulent crooner...
Aggrah peers intently at the water trying to see a target for her Evil Eye (dc15 -2 attack)
