Cordey seeing that Jin is not so critical turns his attention to the nearest lurker and goes at it. Although he tears into it, it appears to be rather resilient.

OOC:

Cordey hits with a 19 and does 12.

Admiral glances over his shoulder to try to see what lies ahead further down the tunnel. He’s seen his fair share of skirmishes and he doesn’t like the way this one is shaping up. "Let’s keep moving!" he says, slashing at the algae grappling Tasya in an effort to free her. "No use wasting our energy fighting enemies that can’t follow us anyway."

Chapter 4: The Waters of Menehune

The aggressive limbs surround.

Cordey slices deep into a kelp lurker on the wall. Its limb writhes from the blow. (KL1: 12 damage.) Simultaneously, in a seamless reaction, the kelp plant (KL1) grows another limb that immediately lashes at Cordey. It manages to swipe Cordey with a whipping lash. (Cordey: 4 damage)

Limbs dodge Regan's warhammer. Others knock aside Reaver and the Defender Blade along with Admiral's attempt to free Tasya.

Tasya struggles to break free.

At a moment when the limbs part just enough, Admiral can see that shortly beyond the Kelp here, the tunnel opens up to a larger chamber. As he makes that realization each of the existing algae limbs attack the party!

Cordey gets hit (3 damage and will have to succeed in a DC 12 STR to avoid grappling constriction)

Jin, who was just regaining his footing, get slapped by two limbs (9 damage)

Tasya remains grappled and gets constricted by another limb. (she now will have to make two successful STR DC 12)

The limb that hits Regan does the knight no damage but Regan's magical cold protection sends a freezing chill through the limb into the host plant (Algae limb: 5 damage, Connected Kelp Lurker: 3)

Even with the magical protection of the Defender Blade, Admiral gets hit by a limb (5 damage and will have to succeed in a DC 12 STR to avoid grappling constriction)

After the onslaught of limb attacks each lurker grows other limb (There is a total of 11 limbs now...well actually 10 because Regan's magic armor destroyed one.)

OOC:

Cordey and Admiral, give me a STR check DC 12 to avoid being grappled by constricting limbs (not with disadvantage)

EDIT Made below: Cordey went after the lurker itself and not its limb.
Also I forgot to include the lurker's reaction, which was immediately attacking Cordey with a newly grown limb.

It's now fixed below and in the previous post.

Gene could you roll a STR check DC 12. The plants have a feature where when a limb makes a successful attack it has a chance to continue with a constricting grapple.

oopsylon, Admiral needs to make the same check.

I put a summary of the state of the battle in the OOC thread.

Looks like like Regan got a good hit in this round.

Now Admiral and Cordey are both grappled along with Tasya. They both can still attack. Just their speed is reduced to zero.

Admiral and Cordey's turn.

Chapter 4: The Waters of Menehune

Admiral hisses as one of the algae limbs latches onto his leg. The situation is getting dicey as more and more algae limbs sprout up every few seconds, faster than the party can cut them down. Unable to shake off the algae wrapped around his leg, he dissipates into sea mist, rematerializing a few feet back, where the tunnel begins to open up into the chamber beyond (15 ft away from Jin, specifically). Seeing that Jin is in a bad way, he sends a bright flash of lightning crackling through the middle of the battle to yank him out of the algae’s grasp.

OOC:

I’m casting Misty Step as a bonus action and Lightning Lure as an action. Jin has to make a DC14 Strength saving throw or be pulled 10 feet toward Admiral (hopefully ending the grapple on him and pulling him out of the reach of further attacks) and take 1d8 damage (not ideal but I'm hoping that 1d8 damage will be less than a full round of upcoming attacks from all those algae limbs). Up to you if he can choose to fail the saving throw. Hopefully this doesn't accidentally kill him :/

Chapter 4: The Waters of Menehune

Cordey slashes at a lurker with his cutlass despite being held by a limb. (KL1: 10 damage)

Regan's swing also slams into the same kelp plant. (KL1: 14 damage)

Evading the algae limb latched to his leg, Admiral suddenly materializes in a chamber that appears to be a laboratory. Beside realizing that there is a pool of water at its center, he doesn't have time to examine the chamber thoroughly. Instead, he quickly looses an arc of lightning that shoots through the kelp and wraps around Jin. The energy pulls Jin toward Admiral. The algae limb attempts to hold on. But Jin desperately tries to break free, understanding Admiral's intentions.

Jin is able to wrestle free from the algae. As the lightning pulls Jin close to Admiral, the energy from the lash surges trough him...but is too much for his already weakened state. The circus ringmaster falls to the floor unconscious.

Chapter 4: The Waters of Menehune

Unsure what happened to Jin, Tasya gasps and lets out a desperate cry. She pulls a dagger and lunges it fiercely into a lurker as she wrestles a limb with her other hand trying to break herself from its hold. She manages to break free from one of the limbs but the other deflects her dagger from delivering harm to the lurker itself.

The limbs retaliate. 10 limbs in total seem to fly in all directions.

Regan is targeted by 4 limbs which cannot get a grip on him. His magically enhanced armor sends freezing pain back into the plants attacking him. (20 damage to limbs and 10 damage to lurker)

Cordey dodges one limb while the one grappling him constricts tighter. (Cordey takes 3 damage)

The limbs constricting Tasya pull her aggressively in opposite directions. Another attempts to grab her but she manages in a frantic rage to knock it away with her dagger. As she does another lashes out at her, slapping her head. (Tasya takes 9 damage total...six from a critical hit.)

The limb holding Cordey also constricts more tightly on him. (Cordey takes 6 damage.)
