A wavering red ray projects from La Siréene's finger. Future Elspeth suffers heatstroke. Her body temperature rises to dangerous levels! The Void Beast clamps her in its horrific mandibles, slamming down on her like a portcullis. It gnashes, thrashes, and throws her back and forth. The statocyst bursts! The abyssal version of Elspeth goes slack. What's left of her trails from the creature's mouth.
Sandru...caught between the crowding mass of Elspeth's bulk, and a lonely sea of stars... Nevertheless, he twists, attacks...his first swipe flenses a large strip from the monster, wounding it grievously! The weird blubber begins to reknit. Sandru looks for another opening. The undulation of the tentacles is confusing and strange, and his second attack swings wide.
This futuristic version of Elspeth intones a shockwave that reverberates in the ALL-MIND. "Caromarc...in this future, you no longer exist." Caromarc returns this revelation with a storm of arcane bolts! Elspeth puts up a shimmering field. The missiles easily punch through it.
_____________________________ The Manservant's first scythe glances off Future Elspeth's hide. The second arc cuts deep! Her wounds seal and repel the knife.
@MM:
The arrows shoot through the strange atmosphere, and make contact with the aberration, but not hard enough to damage its blubbery skin.
Sandru drifts between the dark voidspawn of Elspeth and twirling, barren asteroids. He plants his feet towards the monster and wills himself to fall. He crashes, like a meteor into the atmosphere, hitting hard and mercilessly as his nature allows. By exerting his might, he overcomes the strange gravitational forces of the Abyss and strikes his opponent where it counts! The monster's blubber sinks with the cutlass and absorbs some of the impact, bouncing the sword back out. The terrifying version of Elspeth rotates and focuses an eye on Sandru. The call of the low foghorn sounds... DOOM.
The capsaicin sprays into the Void into the Nightmare Creature's eye. However, the powder diffuses along the membrane and isn't enough to blind her. The monster chomps down on her attacker! Her teeth drip with poison and scrape the ablative barrier.
_____________________________ @Caromarc:
Swinging in an arc on his rope, Caromarc uses the distraction to reach out and touch Phoebe. Suddenly he, Phoebe and the doll vanish! They traverse the Void in a series of dimensional steps, appearing in brief zips and flashes, trailing ghostly white lines behind them. bzzzp! zzzzpt! brrrrt! brzzp! They reappear bedraggled, at the edge of the floor in the room above, next to Quinn!

The consummate archer aims true! The arrows hit Nightmare Elspeth's huge tentacles. Her blobby flesh drinks them in. The wounds appear to close around them.
The inquisitor's bright spell lights up the Void.
The nightmare aspect of Elspeth from the future looms forward through the dead sky. Her flight is calm...silent...except for the low, long blare of a foghorn, signaling certain doom. She flails a storm of tentacles, each twenty feet in length, at her master, Caromarc, and at the helpless flame oracle! The tentacles that hit try to slither around and choke both of them. One tentacle successfully grapples and constricts Phoebe.
Those swept away fall into an expanse of dark, swirling matter with chunks of rock and space debris drifting aimlessly. Far above (although turned around as you are this seems off to the side), you see a tiny spot of light from the room you left behind. In the center of this weird universe is a gigantic creature, a black blob of flesh with bright green spots, with a hundred eyes, an enormous mouth with stalactite fangs, and humongous, writhing, grabbing tentacles. Several smaller, similar creatures...octospawn...float in its orbit. The rope connecting Caromarc goes taut.
