"Dreams! Come back here! I can heal you!" Torias shouts, controling his orca and making it swim around the turtle's head. Then he casts a spell.
If Dreams is in range for channel energy (30ft) (even if the beast is also in range) Torias casts channel energy.
If Dreams is not in range, he casts Holy smite, hoping to blind the beast.

CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
EFFECT
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Area 20-ft.-radius burst
Duration instantaneous (1 round); see text
Saving Throw Will partial; see text; Spell Resistance yes
DESCRIPTION
You draw down holy power to smite your enemies. Only evil and neutral creatures are harmed by the spell; good creatures are unaffected.
The spell deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8) to each evil creature in the area (or 1d6 points of damage per caster level, maximum 10d6, to an evil outsider) and causes it to become blinded for 1 round. A successful Will saving throw reduces damage to half and negates the blinded effect.
The spell deals only half damage to creatures who are neither good nor evil, and they are not blinded. Such a creature can reduce that damage by half (down to one-quarter of the roll) with a successful Will save.
He still controls the water creature who is swimming around the beasts head to distract it.

Nate kicks as hard as he can, trying to surface swiftly. But this is the most chaotic, turbulent water he has ever been in. This is nothing like diving in a lake, or swimming in a gentle stream. He can feel every bit of his burning lungs desperate for air as he drives upward.
He does have the small consolation that the Amulet does seem to feel magical and such, so this wasn't some fools errand. But air comes first, before he can try to figure out how to control its power.

Dreams grunts in pain, draws her sword from the dragon turtle's head, and then seeks to escape its wrath. Hopefully, what she has down is enough to have given Nate the time he needs to retrieve the amulet. If not ... well, she can always return to battle.

Torias channels his divine power and a healing wave washes over Dreams and the beast. It is enough to stop the bleeding and limit the ringing in her ears. Still the elohim paladin knows she can't take much more of this. Luckily for her the orca draws the attention of the dragon turtle even as Nate surfaces from below with his hand piercing the water's surface first in triump. The Dragon Turtle turns its focus on the orca and with one singular strike it chomps into the animal and bites it in half!
Dreams, a bit more clear headed with the heal leaps from the back of the beast and just manages to land on the stone lip of the great pit. The water has filled nearly to the top now, a few more seconds and it will start to flood the passage, allowing the monstrosity to escape down the tunnels and into open water!
Nate shakes his head like a wet dog, the amulet in hand, feet kicking, but he knows he doesn't have time to worry about the water, he must act. From across the chamber the ghost of Pelastour calls out, "My amulet! Use it! Use it to control the beast!"

"Give me the amulet, I will try to control it!" Torias yells, figuring that being able to use magic might help in using the amulet. If he has time, he will use healing again on Dreams.
Get amulet and use it to control the beast. If it takes another round to get it, Torias casts another healing burst on Dreams and everyone.

Dreams throws a rope to Nate to help pull him and amulet in to where Torias can use the amulet.

One hand grabs on to the rope and he tries to pull himself up, while the others grasps the amulet tightly. Torias will likely be able to do a better job once he can get back up, but at least he can try a couple things.
Concentrating on the item, he focuses his will upon it and yells "Stop!" The simplest thing he can think of, unambiguous and direct. Maybe it'll do something useful while he gets lifted up.
