[PQ+] What could go wrong?

Aw, ain’t that sweet? Bringing a meat shield along for the ride. Good thing you do, considering what you’re walking into. The water dries out only a few feet into the tunnel, allowing the party to walk on dry land (even if it’s underground). And while there’s no smell of sulphur, not like the tunnel that leads to Apopo - gods is it hot in here. The scorch marks on the cave walls grow more frequent the deeper you proceed through the tunnel, which can only need to good things. And up ahead, it looks like... light, perhaps? You’re about to find out. You round a corner towards the light, and then it happens - something whips out at Sunjata, lashing across his left shoulder and leaving a nasty welt, his shirt smoking from the burn. It is splayed across the entire width of the tunnel, blocking your way, veins of magma pulsing in its rubbery flesh. Its tentacles hold it in place across the cave - all but the one that snapped at your meat shield. The lavoctopus is awake.
