Matt smiles "I am escaping from a reality beyond my control and remembering that life is as much the moment we are in, as it is the struggle for survival." Matt will trow the game allowing the girl to win.
Elrik asks"how badly are you hurt. Who also needs healing I want to heal by priority." he gives you a good look over Alexander. Then looks a round at the others seeing Izumi Felipe and Matt are still harmed.

"Beyond our control?" Alexander asks, "You'd be amazed how often I've heard that through my life. My father taught me that a man forges his own destiny." He shakes his head, then turns and finds a comfortable place to sit and tend his wounds until Elrik is done with the others.
Alexander sighs, "My apologies. Enjoy your game."
Out of Game: Alexander will not ask for healing until he is sure no one else needs it more. After Elrik heals everyone who requests, Alexander will request healing.
Out of Game: Felipe

Quick reference:
Izumi asks Haru to cut up some of the octopus tentacle for a meal for the group, and hands him one of her small daggers. Izumi then sighs at Alexanders comment and responds with, "No need? Expressing your concerns should not include snide remarks to the rest of the group. Do me a favor. Next time, try not to belittle the rest of us for not 'running away', and I'll consider this settled."
After Elrik asks Izumi informs him of the fact that she sustained a sizable wallop from the octopus during her rescue of Matthias. She even raises her shirt a bit in the back to show the purplish bruising.
Izumi looks back to Holly as she begins playing with Matthias, "We can maybe use the water skin as an air bag because perhaps there is a way to drain the lake from below."
Izumi continues the line of reasoning to include Yaeth, "Think it'll work?"
"Mom I can help with that!" Haru chimes ash his mother speaks with Elrik. Haru begins a lovely but short song preforming well and having an unusually high and boyish singing voice he casts the bardic spell of Cure Light Wounds healing his mother for 9 damage. "See? See! my magic came back after we got past the spiders and that dreadful hall!" The boy exclaims acting more a child then the teen he is. After he is done he takes the dagger handed him and goes to work cutting in to the Beast in a butchering way.
Yaeth's search of the Octopus lends the discovery of of some valuables with in its gut, he finds a purl, a mettle cuff bracelet and a couple more glowing chinks of ore along with many crushed bones and rocks, some of the rocks are the small colored and polished gems stones they discovered in the waterway they used to get in to this room. He also finds a small handful of coins some of them are blank of detail having been tumbled in the acids of the beasts belly and the stones of the river bed with in.
Counting the loot, in all he found
1 flawless large purl
1 mettle cuff bracelet - no noticeable detailing.
16 small gem stones (mix of types and colors)
6 gold 3 silver
As he sits back and study the light that is shining over head, he sees the size and mass of it as before is equal to the radiance and quality of light it shines with.
The large diamond shaped stone s nearly 10 foot wide and nearly 15 foot tall, it hangs from the center of the room by large heavy mettle chains and a large steal ring. The base of the large crystal is 30 foot over head above the rock that dots the water.
It is unlikely it could be shot down. More unlikely is that your arrows would do much damage at all to the chains or ring holding it up, and by the size of its mass you would gather it must be anchored in to the stone ceiling rather deeply to be held there with out risk of decay from time.
Climbing to it would be nearly impossible as the ceiling is 6 foot over the water line in the center of the room with steep curved walls and a horizontal ceiling line. Clearly there is a trick to this room but what ever it s if it has anything to do with the light over head it must be something that can be done with range of some kind.
Elrik watching the boy heal and realizing he is not the only one with healing any more moves over to Alexander and casts a cure on him healing 9 damage.
Then he asks if Haru would mind healing Felipe too, the boy nods and stops for the moment in his gathering of meet and gos about doing so.
Felipe heals 11 damage from the boys spell. Then, Haru goes back to work tending to the request of his mother.
The possibility remains unknown to the group of how this odd and hard puzzle is salved.
If anyone has and or wants to make a roll for any of there knowledge's, there might be some hints to gain from pondering over the groups past experience and intellect.
