Whirlpool: “A little help?”
 
After putting some distance between himself and the group, Blood Edge casts Manipulate again to levitate Whirlpool out of the lake, and set her back onto dry land.
 
Whirlpool: “Phew, thanks!”
 
The Titan begins its assault. Three of the black tendrils retreat into the lake, and resurface around Opaline, but the cleric moves away from them before they can attack.
 
Sea Swirl is not so lucky as she gets caught by three more tendrils appearing from below, and becomes ensnared…
 
Sea Swirl: “Oh no, they’ve got me! I don’t believe I can escape from all three of them, so I have no choice but to… attempt to charm the tentacles!”
 
Dawn Break: “I don’t—”
 
Sea Swirl rolls a twenty.
 
Dawn Break: “(sigh)… Whirlpool manages to perform gestures so obscene that the three tendrils accept her advances. In addition to being ensnared, Whirlpool is now also silenced and stunned, rendering her completely helpless.”
 
Sea Swirl: “Whew! Is it just me, or is it getting warm in here?”
 
Despite this unexpected turn of events, the Titan continues its assault on the heroes. Three more tendrils move to attack Tailkicker for six damage, while the last three go for Blood Edge, but fail to reach him in time.
 
Opaline begins to cast a spell. Her horn flashes brightly, and a burst of bubbling light heals Tailkicker for three health points…
 
Moonflower: “So, uh, should I be helpin’ Whirlpool?”
 
Sweet Biscuit: “Her magic would be useful, but all things considered, she’s keeping three of them busy, so it’s a good distraction.”
 
Moonflower: “Oh, got’cha!”
 
Tailkicker attacks one of the tendrils closer to herself, slashing it with her shortsword, and shocking it for four damage.
