So... Koan and Jill have brought themselves into the fray. Cynthia charged in screaming to attack a mass of writhing muscle. The tiger had turned the prisoner into a fish and back. And a burned tongue sought to taste the blood in the waters. To battle then. Sword of shadows drawn and ready, the bloodlust in his burning eyes betraying the nature of his injuries. Death was a possibility, seeing how the great beast had attacked their mer guide. From there perhaps they would lose against so terrible a beast, far greater guardians than those they had encountered in the open sea. Of which the flailing tentacles made the warlock raise a brow at Dyn once his dark lady Koan had shrugged back from her place between them. A slight head nudge towards the gloried squid should have been enough of a jest for the beholder, surely the ego of Dyn would urge the 'perfect' being to attack an tentacular rival.

Swimming forward from tactical cover, the umbramancer rushed forward into the fray, once more the cloak billowing in the waves like the wings of a manta. Casting a quick glance at Jill who seemed to be harm and heal, commanding others at will, he wondered what she would think if he unleashed the darkness within him and show her the black feathers of his soul. Then like the Dracula of the seas, a thirst for blood and darkness in his glare. These animatronics seemed empty, hollow without the sensation of pain, how lackluster. But seeing the ravaging the kraken's tentacles did on the raging fish girl, well perhaps it did tickle the sadist's interest to feel those hooks tear into his flesh. But for now they had to defeat the templars, with what little energy he had left, a few spells still stored in his ring to hopefully protect him from his chosen opponent's wrath and save himself for the octopod. Thus a wispy dark saber slashed the construct from right to left, striking true as the blade cut across, yet the backswing was far less successful as the horizontal stroke failed to connect as the swordsman attempted to ready his guard to intervene between the next attacks.
