You can pick it up as you enter the room, allowing you to attack this round if you want to.
Assuming Mitnal got close enough to attack, Mitnal swings his warhammer at the whatzit. He's not use to having to avoid allies.
when I see an opening, I run forward and!
oohhh...
The -1 stacks with your other bonuses, still a 1 is a 1...
The Quasit continues to bite and scratch: 1d20+7=10, 1d20+7=21, 1d20+2=19
1d3-1=0, 1d4-1=1
As the poison courses into his body, making him sluggish, the little quasit continues to bite and scratch as Kenzo holds her face under the water.
Unfortunately for Kenzo, none of his allies help him. As they surround the quasit that he is holding down, they each miss, perhaps afraid to hurt the monk.
The quasit's wounds are healing before the eyes of her attackers. And Kenzo's muscles are starting to freeze up.
"C'mon...we must slay her!" Jessa urges, "She won't stay tangled forever!"
For her part, Jessa uses the iron wand to charge her hand again and reaches into the pool.
I step to one side and use my divine fire to heal Kenzo.
divine healing for Kenzo (1d6 1=4)
Worried about my friend I cry out; "Eugen, Mitnal; help Kenzo!"
"It's gonna get loose!" Kenzo growls as he struggles to keep the demon down.

Grappling Rules Discussion (Part II):
Pin Your Opponent
You can hold your opponent immobile for 1 round by winning an opposed grapple check (made in place of an attack). Once you have an opponent pinned, you have a few options available to you....If You’re Pinned by an Opponent
When an opponent has pinned you, you are held immobile (but not helpless) for 1 round. While you’re pinned, you take a -4 penalty to your AC against opponents other than the one pinning you. At your opponent’s option, you may also be unable to speak. On your turn, you can try to escape the pin by making an opposed grapple check in place of an attack. You can make an Escape Artist check in place of your grapple check if you want, but this requires a standard action. If you win, you escape the pin, but you’re still grappling.
As you might expect, you can't move out of the space you share with a foe that has pinned you. You cannot take any other actions except to make an opposed grapple check to escape the pin in place of an attack. You can make an Escape Artist check in place of your grapple check if you want, but this requires a standard action. If you win the opposed check, you escape the pin, but you're still grappling. If your base attack bonus allows you to make multiple attacks, you can attempt to escape the pin multiple times (at successively lower attack bonuses). If you escape the pin, you're still grappling with your foe, but if you still have attacks available, you can keep right on grappling....
Pinned: A pinned creature is tightly bound and can take few actions. A pinned creature cannot move and is flat-footed. A pinned character also takes an additional –4 penalty to his Armor Class. A pinned creature is limited in the actions that it can take. A pinned creature can always attempt to free itself, usually through a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check. A pinned creature can take verbal and mental actions, but cannot cast any spells that require a somatic or material component. A pinned creature that attempts to cast a spell must make a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + the spell’s level) or lose the spell. Pinned is a more severe version of grappled and their effects do not stack.
Kenzo just barely manages to keep the quasit down . Meanwhile, though it's a clumsy lunge, Eugen finally manages to pierce the quasit's rough hide with his broken sword .
She cries out, from her pinned position under the water and bubbles and black blood come together to the surface.
Jessa once more shocks the water, giving everyone standing in it a thrill but not harming the quasit in any way.
Gyorgy heals Kenzo of some of his damage, but the poison is still affecting his muscles.
Mitnal attempts a swing with his warhammer but is uncomfortable putting his weight behind it given the number of people around the whatzit. 1d20+4=20, 1d8+2=4
Mitnal's attack, though a solid blow, does not hurt the little demon at all.
Escape Artist check: 1d20+5=16-2 =14
However, it is almost enough to make Kenzo lose his grip.

Kenzo, calmer now that the little demon has suddenly stopped scratching at him, continues to keep the monster pinned.
"Dagnabit!" I exclaim.
Then I dart forward, grab Mitnal's dagger and hold it toward him.
"Stab it with this!"
Sensing it's getting too crowded around the quasit, Jessa backs away to give Eugen, Mitnal, and Kenzo room. As she passes Mitnal, she pats his arm for encouragement and whispers an arcane spell to aid his efforts.
Kenzo continues to hold the creature down, Eugen again successfully stabs it, and Jessa and Gyorgy, between them, try to focus Mitnal on attacking with the dagger they spent copious amounts of money on, just for this occassion.
Despite Gyorgy and Jessa encouraging Mitnal to use his dagger, he persist in trying to bash in the quasit's head, without effect. Fortunately, the quasit still does not manage to wiggle free.

Running out of things she can do to help, Jessa steps around the throng of men and into the pool so she can strike from the other side. Her eyes meet Kenzo's.
"Whatever you do...don't let go!" she tells him. Her hands then weave before and she launches an icy ray into the water with the words, "Heladoviga!"
Unfortunately, the refraction from the water causes her to misjudge the quasit's position.
"Sorry!" she frets at the worried expressions the others give her when the icy ray comes too close to their hands instead.
focusing my mental energies to ignore all distractions, I keep stabbing:
attack (1d20 +7=26)
damage (1d3 +3=6)
finally I am beginning to reach stab nirvana.

Mitnal flushes with embarrassment. 'Stupid. I'm so stupid. Stupid!' he thinks to himself as he grows redfaced.
'It's the whatzit's fault. It's HER fault,' he thinks focussing his anger on her.
x2? (1d20=13)
Rules explanation:
You're unmodified roll is good enough after you add your to hit bonus to score a critical so you get to roll an extra d3.
Mitnal, thoroughly enraged at foolishly being unable to help his friends in their struggle, stabs at the whatzit.
Kenzo and Gyorgy still to go.
Another daze is the best I can do.
I stamp my feet in frustration.
Kenzo struggles to hold the squirming monster under the water even as the party brutally tries to kill it. Black ichor stains the water around the fiend as Eugen stabs it and perhaps it is this extra bit of slimyness that allows the demon to finally wriggle lose and pop its head above water.
"Foul miscreants!" it shrieks through splutters and gasps for air, "Lamashtu curse you all!"

surprised by the sudden change, I flub my attack:

"No!" Jessa cries, "Don't let her get away!"
She tucks the iron wand in the belt around her slim waist and then casts another spell. "Vraieja-grevas!" she announces, reaching for the party's last tanglefoot bag.
