And this is supposed to make an effective climax to the episode how, exactly? I read people's descriptions of how this played out differently in the book and I'm having some trouble imagining how it would have played out in a way that wouldn't have left me with the reaction "that's it?".

I'd expect him to do better... if he wasn't treating the encounter as a mere game. He got pwned by a combination of his own cockiness and inexperience. Also, the tentacle monster showing up kind of implies Caster noticed.
