Hythonia
OOC:
Well, Hythonia has basically lost, at this point. All her attacks are melee, so at best she gets a crit and finishes Omeros but dies in the process. Being CR 17 in a world of magic like Theros, i'm going to have her act like she knows what that ice armor on you is and what it means. Reminder, Rules as Written you can only make multiple grapple attempts if you have extra attack and take the attack action, but I tend to house rule it that monsters can make multiple grapple attempts if they have multiattack and can only swap attacks for grapples if the original attack involved an appendage that could grapple, like claws or a tail that can constrict, but could not replace Snakey hair with a grapple since there is no evidence she can grapple with the hair.
Hythonia sees the hole forming and flies over to Omeros, using her claws and tail not to strike at Omeros but to simply try to grab him. She succeeds in doing so, lifts him out of the water, and say, "If i can't strike you, I will make you look deep into my eyes."
OOC:
Hythonia has a mythic action she can only use in the 2nd phase of the fight.
[ +- ] Mythic Action
@Basil Omeros goes after Hythonia. He can take his turn, and if Hythonia is still alive then Hythonia will force Omeros to make a DC 19 Con save vs her gaze, no matter if he chooses to avert or not. If Omeros can hit her, he may kill her. If he misses all his attacks, he will need to hope he isn't turned to stone.

After that is resolved, Chironides will use his action to finish the whole he was making.

There were no words left, only rage! Omeros roared at Hythonia then Invictus channeled the last of his force and light and fury at her!

Omeros fires his 3 blasts. The first glances off of her shoulder armor, but the second, third, and follow up bolt of light all strike her in the chest. she drops Omeros back into the water, and falls into the water just after him. Bubbles rise up from the water as she takes her last breath underwater, and seconds later nothing. Her corpse sinks to the bottom, blood rising to the spot she hit the water. Hythonia lies dead at the bottom of the poisoned water.

Chironides breaks through the wall, looks for Hythonia, and sees only his dead or unconscious allies. He enters and hears Omeros celebrating as it hits him that she is dead. The two meet up, find that Kelnes is still alive, and locate the dead bodies of Kadmos and Isaiah. With a potion of healing, Kelnes is brought back. The group finds the unconscious daughter of the king they came to save, still human. Knowing that they may be able to request the gods Isaiah and Kadmos serve to resurrect them, the group takes the bodies of their friends with them. With Hythonia dead and her worshipers scares, the party is able to safely make it back to the beach.

Kelnes uses his swimming ability, he pulls the boat the group used to get through the sharp rocks back to the main boat. The captain congratulates you all on success and gives his condolences on the 2 deaths. After only 3 days, you make it back to the king, visit some people that can cast raise dead on Isaiah and Kadmos, and receive your rewards.
