Skeeve says, "Let's see what the nasty thing living here is. Be ready to attack, but let's see if we can talk first."

As he struggles, Skeeve calls out to the source of the tentacles, "Stop! We don't want to hurt you! We don't want to take anything that is yours! We just want to pass through and then we'll be gone! If you stop, I will heal you from our attacks!"
EDIT: I guess I should make a roll for the parley attempt. With the appearance of the tentacles, it may be that my initial guess is correct after all. If I am correct, then it should be able to understand what I am saying and react to it. If it is starving, then it doesn't matter. However, if it is just defending its turf, then we have a decent chance. So, I'm gonna roll the full three dice, then you can discard what doesn't apply to this situation. (Including potentially all of them.)
