Nobility never shaped Elysia into what she labeled as the prissy women of society. Venturing into the more poor and abandoned areas of her home city helped keep her from being bothered by filth. This… she can’t keep her nose from wrinkling. With a silent sigh of acceptance, the rogue launches an attack with her rapier, happy she wasn’t as close as daggers would’ve required her to be.

Adran backs up a few steps and brings up his new weapon, not even bothering to load a bolt. The limbs snap outward the moment his finver rests on the trigger, and while the familiar twang is present what is projected is a sliver of pale blue light.

Without glancing at his new companion, he simply says, "Protect."

With no time like the present, Eozindra lifts the newly obtained crossbow and levels it at the creature just arrived. "Oh, you are one ugly—" The bolt releases abruptly, carrying the reset of the unspoken words with it.

Morik pulled strands of gleam from the aether, and cast it upon the creature.
OOC:
DC 14 Dex save or allies get advantage attacking it. It should be cast towards the back so that it won’t also hit the others. It may or may not end up giving advantage to some people that have already rolled.

ROUND ONE, continued

Ishi leaps heroically into the muck with a splorch and hacks down at the slimy mass of the otyugh with his sword, which keeps glancing off its squishy sides.
Still on the slippery walkway, Eozindra triggers her crossbow, and sinks a bolt into the monster (Otyugh take 5 damage)!
Choosing not to jump into the channel (which would reach his chest), Morik pulls strands of magic from the aether and flings them behind the monster, hoping to illuminate it in the darkness, but the foul creature dodges the glimmer, which sparkles on the wall behind it!
Elowin steps confidently off of the walkway into the muck to confront the creature, ignoring the squish of slime as it oozes into her boots, and hits it with booming blade (Oytugh takes 9 damage), and it is surrounded by Lunea's will. The moon's power is felt everywhere, even underground. As the otyugh's attention is on the cleric, Elysia wades into the channel on the other side, stabbing the monster in the flank (otyugh takes 16 damage)!
Adran's modified crossbow misses, the bolt of light absorbed into the slime. His metallic companion bristles defensively.

With its prey moving close enough to attack, the otyugh does not need to move to strike: the two long appendages flail and grasp like a squid's tentacles! A tentacle whips out at Elowin, the huge mass gapes open again to try to take a bite out of Elysia (who hears "must taste!" in her mind), and the other a tentacle slaps at Ishi.

Elowin takes 9 damage.
Ishi takes 17 damage.
Both Elowin and Ishi are grappled and restrained as the tentacles wrap around them (On their turns, they can use their actions to attempt to break free, DC13). Until they break free of the restraint, they each have DISADV on their attack rolls and cannot move from where they are.
Elysia manages to dodge the snapping mouth.

What do you all do in round two?

Adran keeps his calm and tries to aim better before letting another sliver of light fly with a quiet "twang" sound. He instructs his Defender to stay between himself and the muck monster, which seems even more important now that the elf has seen the tendrils in action.

Well, that didn't go as planned. With his companions now in the creature's hold, Morik couldn't risk getting them caught in the crossfire. The idea of jumping in to the muck did not please him, but his sigh turned into a snort and turned into a roar as he turned into a bear and jumped into the fray.

Keeping her space against the wall and at a distance from the melee at hand, Eozindra notices how quickly the beast tears into her newfound friends and furrows her brows. "Enjoy this moment, you monstrous muckface." Pricking her finger on the tip of her next bolt, the bard points to the creature and grins. "It’s the among the last you shall ever experience!" she finishes her threat, weaving an energy toward the creature to dampen its resolve and cripple its abilities.

ROUND TWO

Ishi's eyes bulge, veins stand out on his neck and forehead, as he strains and then bursts free of the otyugh's spiky tentacle, which have left round gouges in his flesh. With a triumphant yell, Ishi is no longer grappled.
"Enjoy this moment, you monstrous muck-face!" Eozindra unsettles the otyugh and then calls a Bane down onto it. "It's among the last you shall ever experience!"
Morik transforms into a bear and wades into the slime - his sensitive nose is appalled anew at the stench - but his claws are unable to find purchase on the rubbery, slimy flesh of the monstrosity.
Still grappled, Elowin calls down the influence of Lunea, but the otyugh ignores the goddess.
"No! Bad Otyugh! No tasting!" Elysia shrieks, and then stabs the hideous monster again (Otyugh takes 18 damage). "And let go of my companions!"
Adran uses his repeating shot hand crossbow, the mechanism reloading and firing by itself, without needing to be reloaded (Otyugh takes 9 damage). Adran's nameless clockwork companion, which some of the party has started calling Cobalt, jumps into the channel of dung with the others to be close enough to the monster to deflect its attacks when/if it attacks someone adjacent.
The Otyugh picks up Elowin and slams her into the stone of the walkway. Elowin must succeed on a DC14 CON save to take half of the damage (3, not 6) and not be stunned. The otyugh's thoughts continue to play out in Elysia's head again: memories of people screaming as they are dismembered and devoured, but the particularly revolting thing is that Elysia is experiencing this from the otyugh's perspective. Simultaneously convinced that she'd be tasty and recognizing that she is hurting it more than anyone else, the otyugh tries to bite Elysia again, and Adran uses his reaction to have the Steel Defender succeeds in Deflecting the attack (I rerolled for DISADV)! The other tentacle flails around, long enough to attempt to attack any other party member: Adran, Cobalt, Ishi, Eozindra, Morik. The tentacle coils around the Steel Defender (even with the Bane penalty of -2, a 15 hits it). The Steel Defender takes 8 damage and is grappled/restrained.
OOC:
I forgot to roll the Bane die at first. I didn't roll it for the attack on Elysia, as it couldn't have affected the result, but I did roll it for the attack on the Steel Defender...and it didn't affect the result.

I'll adjust the HP totals below once I see the result of @runkyndig's saving throw for Elowin.

"No, please, stop," she cries out at the psychological torture experience happening to her. The whole thing leaves her stomach turning and she’s unsure if it’s in disgust or hunger. Inside, she starts to truly freak out. Another protest leaves her lips watching Elowin be slammed into the ground. She closes her eyes in an attempt to block out the memories as she jabs her rapier again, praying to the gods that this one will end it for them all.
