Trence: Flowing water, Claw Slash!
Sessha: Heal Willis
Willis: MP potion on self

[King Zultan]

Trence: Flowing water, Claw Slash!
Sessha: Heal Willis
Willis: MP potion on self

+1

[syvarris]

Trence: Flowing Water + Flowing Water (unless it doesn't stack; in that case use one Claw Slash)
Willis: Drink a regular healing potion
Sessha: Armor One on Willis

Reasoning is that a regular healing potion will cap out Willis and Sessha's HP.  Trence will be a little low, but with two evade buffs and two armor buffs, I think he's very likely to be fine.  I think using a mana potion is a bit of a waste; Willis does do decent damage, but not that much.  It's more valauable to save mana for Trence, I think.

It's worth considering if Sessha should start using Indignation in future rounds.  That should significantly cut down on the damage she takes, giving us some tempo back when she's targeted.  Same for Trence stacking evasion.  Both are also hopefully solutions against the fish hitting one of them twice.  Alternatively, we may want to have Sessha use debuff poison, in hopes of the fish starting to fail saves.  It's... essentially a save-or-suck, so we would only really have to survive a few rounds before the fish simply stops being a threat.

(Flowing water doesn't stack.)

Trence uses Flowing water, encompassing him in what seems like a sheathe of living water, aiding his movement and partially obscuring his form.  He then follows it up with a Claw Slash to the side of the creature, drawing forth more blood.  As before the living barbs make the attack painful, causing 6 fire and 3 cold damage.

Willis drinks one regular potion, regaining 50 HP!  Willis and Sessha are maxed out.  Trence is now at 67/100 HP.

Sessha casts Armour One, raising all three conscious protagonists up to the maximum amount of (Defense +++).

Both tentacles strike out at Willis this time, protected by his thick yellow aura.  The firey one strikes first, hitting him for 6 physical and 26 fire damage.

The icy one is worse.  It wraps around Willis, hitting him on the shoulder and along the side, freezing through the water.  Willis takes 11 physical and 54 cold damage.  Willis is knocked out!  He falls unconscious and floats in place in the water.

Trence is then attacked by the creature, as it does another drive-by tail slap.  It hits him squarely, despite the bubble sheathe, but these attacks are much less dangerous than the tentacle attacks.  Trence takes 2 physical, 8 fire, and 3 cold.

Once more, the creature shudders with poison, again taking minor poison damage.  The aura also minorly heals Trence, back up to 66/100 HP.

Trence: Claw Slash!, Claw Slash!
Sessha: Backstab

[syvarris]

Trence: Double Claw, drink healing potion
Sessha: Apply disabling poison to daggers

We don't have anywhere near the DPS necessary to close out this fight before the fish finishes us off.  Getting lucky with disabling poison strikes me as the only remaining option.  I'm tempted to use Indignation this round, so Sessha doesn't just die to being targeted twice, but I think further delays are only going to result in Trence going down, then Sessha shortly after.

As a note, smelling salts are actually pretty good right now.  They consume one action to revive an ally who can absorb one attack--which is particularly valuable due to the threat of being attacked twice.  If we're lucky (44% probability) it even pays for itself because the fish might not immediately target the revived ally, giving them an action.  Considering our desperate straits, it's not an unreasonable choice to make.

Also, while I'm obviously not trying for it, it might be a better bet to have Trence just pile on as many attacks as possible.  He's a buffed poison dragon and might score an instakill.

[NJW2000]

I think the lesson here is tanking. I.e. have at least one of Trence or Alice able to tank against large burst damage.

I think it’s possible we could revive/heal stall and win with damage, but disabling poison will help with that.

+1 A better idea than mine.

[Devastator]

Trence uses Double Claw!

The fish is scraped up, yet again, Trence digging into its side with two claw slashes.

The Elder Sturgeon is now Badly Wounded!

The burns do sting Trence, causing 4 Fire and 3 Cold damage.  Trence is reduced to 59 HP.

He then drinks a potion.  Trence is maxed out!

Both tentacles reach out to rake the dragon.  Only the bubbly fire one gets through the sheathe of water.. the icy one comes close, but in freezing the water arount itself, it cannot make contact, bouncing off a hail of frost and fast-flowing liquid water.

Trence takes 12 physical and 30 fire damage.

The tyrant fish is incapable of showing emotion, simply moving through the water with the same blank expression on its face.  It eyes up Trence, and then dives into the seafloor, creating a large cloud of dust and dirt.  It then hurtles past Trence, just missing due to the diminished sheathe of water.  Trence can feel the ripples of fire and cold in the creatures fine hairs, but it fails to strike true.

(Flowing Water has been degraded to nothing.)

...Two hits put it down to badly wounded, from lightly wounded???  Previously the same move plus chomp only put it into scratched.  And an Absolute Zero with only "some resistance" put it to lightly wounded from there.  Well uh.  I guess we have much more ability to DPS it down than I thought.
