Things were looking good for the both of them even while precariously traversing the twisting underwater tunnel.  That is until they came upon a large air pocket, when things started turning south.  The happening was sudden and quick as something grabbed and yanked Tayla out of the water.  Jalna quickly waded up towards the surface, worried of her sister's fate.  Breaking out the water, she was greatly alarmed of what she beheld.  She had to do something and fast.<br/><br/>Tayla meanwhile was desperately struggling to break free.  Looking up, she was aghast of what the creature intended to do to her.  Quickly she let her hands go of the tentacle strangling her neck and reached to pull out both of her shortswords and start piercing, hacking, or whatever her limited movement afforded her against the ropy appendages holding her, hoping to break free before the thing will have its way with her...<br/><br/>Jalna swam and pulled herself up onto land, bringing out her handaxes.  She lobbed one of them at the thing on the ceiling, making sure the trajectory was well away from hitting her sister instead.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tayla attacks with disadvantage at each tentacle holding her body: 17 or 22; 18 or 15<br/>Damage: 4 and 9<br/>Jalna swims to shore and attacks the roper with an axe: 15<br/>Damage: 8 </div></div>
