Look at her go!"</strong>screams the high pitched celebratory voice as the two tentacle pulling her continues trying to rip her off the edge down towards the water. There's truly no chance for Kieri clearly long term, these gigantic tentacles are going to overpower her if nothing else changes. Fortunately, there is Foebiter.  Hera's slice cuts across the two tentacles spattering inky black over Kieri and the ground. The fourth tentacle that hadn't grabbed onto anything surges for Hera and wraps around her forearm, twisting around it and writhing against her as it begins to pull her towards the brink.<br/><br/>Another two tentacles burst from the water (making six in all) and surge towards the next biggest source of sound, Rali's shriek and mumbling enough to catch it's attention. The shorter woman is clearly a bit easier for a get for the tentacles, which grab onto her and lift her up into the air as easily as it did the Scry-Sphere. The thick appendages wrap around her, one making two circles around her waist and another around a thigh, while the other wraps from one shoulder to under her opposite arm and presses wetly between her mostly exposed breast. The monster flips her upside down as it lifts her, hanging her in a bouncing, floppy grip as the Scry-Sphere following her gets various different angles of her hanging form.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5a/85/53/5a8553092604606e11f5776a3eb0121e.jpg)</div>The other two, Ihanna and Lani, not currently wrapped up and dealing with tentacles will be able to see that the humanoid forms rushing towards the surface are not quite humanoid. Five creatures with webbed hands, flashing scales, and fish tails are hurtling themselves towards the surface, their mouths open in water-muffled screams of battle.<br/><br/><strong>Crawlers, what do you do?</strong><br/><br/><hr/><div align="center"><strong>Battle Status</strong></div>*1 tentacle pulling Hera<br/>*2 tentacles pulling Kieri<br/>*1 tentacle shaking Kieri's Scry-Sphere<br/>*2 tentacles captured Rali<br/>*5 merfolk en route
