Chapter 5 - Pudding for Dessert

@Xavavor as you watch it rises up and begins moving directly towards Gumbar and Bongo
everyone roll initiative (though only Xavavor notices it at this time)
/r d20 +2
BOT
@Bongo: d20 +2 = (10) +2 = 12
/r d20-3
BOT
@Dungeon Master: d20-3 = (15)-3 = 12
Nice knowing you folks
/r d20+1
BOT
@Ramza: d20+1 = (16)+1 = 17
/r d20+1
BOT
@Xavavor: d20+1 = (9)+1 = 10
/r d20+4
BOT
@Octavious: d20+4 = (4)+4 = 8
/r d20+1
BOT
@Kalochex: d20+1 = (12)+1 = 13
lets run.
@Ramza can you roll for Gumbar?
/r d20-1 #Gumbar
BOT
@Ramza: d20-1 Gumbar = (3)-1 = 2
Oof sorry @Gumbar
well this could be unfortunate 
Ramza, Kalochecx, and Bongo go before the creature, but Xavavor is the only one who notices it at the moment
1
so.....
baddie's turn!
(all love of course)
wait
ooooooh Bongo said wait... what is going to happen?!
drat...no helpful halfling skills. Unless your trying to frighten me
the creature shambles forward, moving slowly but methodically. as it gets to about 5' away from @Gumbar and @Bongo the whole party hears the sound of something pushing forward. you all turn and now that it is in the light you see a black ooze which seems to be moving of its own volition towards Gumbar and Bongo
"fuck... RUN!"
"get to the door!"
it looks like this (minus the orc):
@Xavavor you are up!
Going to hold my initative until the end of round ( that's how it works right?)
not exactly
you can hold an action
can't hold a bonus action or a move - just an action, and you need to specify a trigger (like "I do this when that happens)
Move to j-12 by going over the bridge and down the path (or not over shit Creek)
Then use dissonant whispers
(moved the map slightly to be easier for placement)
@Xavavor you move to a safer location and cast your spell
/r 4d6
BOT
@Xavavor: 4d6 = (5+5+4+6) = 20
the spell completes, but appears to affect it less than you had hoped
@Octavious your turn
I tell everyone to "run and get to the door!" throw my torch at it and lead by example and move 30' down the hall.
make a dex check (no proficiency)
r/d20+4
/r d20+4
BOT
@Octavious: d20+4 = (14)+4 = 18
that hits!
roll a d6
d6
/r d6
BOT
@Octavious: d6 = (6) = 6
yes
yes yes yes!
so good news and bad news
the good news is the torch definitely hits the creature and singes it
the bad news is the torch immediately sputters out
and now you are left in complete darkness
@Gumbar you are up, and you are now one of only two in the party who can still see it
i thought we were fighting tomorrow lol
i would like to cast shield of faith on myself
as a bonus action
I also thought another person had a light spell up?
that was Durawin
is the creature within 5 feet?
it is 10' away from you
then i will hold an attack for if it closes in on me
well, just over 5' (i.e. not adjacent - one square between you)
as i cast +2 ac on my face
k
im at 20 AC
hopefully i dont get eaten agin
Yeah this is a whole lot of nope
Alright I'm just going to light a torch, drop it at my feet for light, and be ready to riposte as a reaction with my greatsword. Can't really move up smartly to shield allies. I shout "Run! Behind me!"
I'll run on my turn
I run on my turn
@Kalochex and @Bongo both move away from the black ooze on their turns, just as the creature closes the distance with Gumbar
@Gumbar you get your held attack as is comes within range
ok, just gonna mace it real quick
!roll d20+4
BOT
@Gumbar rolled 24. (20, 4)
!
Yasssss
nice!
wish that was an inflict wounds...
1
so 2d6 instead of 1?
correct
2d6+2
!roll 2d6+2
BOT
@Gumbar rolled 8. (3 + 3 = 6, 2)
bah
you are ready for the monster, and as it approaches you smash your mace into its form
as you bring your weapon back you notice some of the black slime is stuck to it
and it is sizzling
EVERYONE RUN! I WILL HOLD IT OFF
your mace now has a permanent -1 damage penalty
as the spikey bits have dissolved
the creature rears back, forms a pseudopod, and attacks
everyone, stick to ranged or magic, its acidic or something!
/r d20+5
BOT
@Dungeon Master: d20+5 = (13)+5 = 18
does an 18 hit?
negative
i have shield of faith up
it goes to strike you, but your magical shield blocks its form
however, when you struck the creature, bits of it splashed on you
/r d8
BOT
@Dungeon Master: d8 = (5) = 5
and you take 5 acid damage
that stings a bit
@Xavavor you are up
oh, @Gumbar make a perception check
!roll d20+2
BOT
@Gumbar rolled 3. (1, 2)
fuck me
LMAO FROM FIRST TO WORST
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IT'S THERE
/r d20+3
BOT
@Ramza: d20+3 = (12)+3 = 15
as you stare at the foul creature, you see the torch Octavious threw at it completely dissolve quicker than you can believe - in less than five seconds nothing remains
Do I know anything about what this fuck might be from my readings?
Let's blow this fucker up...I cast shatter in the rocks/ underneath him, with the ten foot range still covering him but not hitting gumby
/r 3d8
BOT
@Xavavor: 3d8 = (5+6+6) = 17
Anf then move my full 30 feet down the path further away
Yes!
/r d20+3
BOT
@Dungeon Master: d20+3 = (1)+3 = 4
the creature takes the full brunt of the spell, for a second it seems to almost lose form as the floor shakes
@Xavavor you see steps leading up off to your right
(no one else sees that far though - only Xav and Gumbar can see in the darkness, and Xav is right on the edge of the torchlight)
@Octavious Octavious is up
I FOUND THE WAY OUT BOYS
I turn and pulling my short bow and nocking an arrow in one smooth movement. I step halfway between K12 and K13 and loose an arrow between my fleeing party members at the slime. And then move backwards keeping my eyes on the target.
roll to hit!
/r d20+6
BOT
@Octavious: d20+6 = (11)+6 = 17
and where do you move (keep in mind you cannot see the stairs, you can't see anything at all past Xavavor)
17 hits
Sneak attack because Gumbar?
yep!
/r 3d6+4
BOT
@Octavious: 3d6+4 = (4+6+2)+4 = 16
I shift to M13
your arrow slices off a thick chunk of the black goo, almost instantly dissolving in the acid but clearly wounding the creature
@Gumbar your turn
ok so
2 things
BA to use healing word on myself
!roll 1d4+2
BOT
@Gumbar rolled 6. (4, 2)
nice
nice indeed
then, i would like to sacred flame that icky slime thing of slime
dex save 12
/r d20-3
BOT
@Dungeon Master: d20-3 = (15)-3 = 12
the pile of goo just barely dodges out of the way
i remain in my position blocking the goo from getting to my comrades
excellent
@Ramza you are up!
Ramza is crossbowing the slime
make a ranged attack roll!
!roll d20+3
BOT
@Gumbar rolled 10. (7, 3)
10 hits!
!roll 1d8+1
BOT
@Gumbar rolled 4. (3, 1)
the bolt sinks deep in the creature, dissolving quickly but not before doing damage
@Kalochex your turn
I step forward to the front line and swing my greataxe into it's mass.
Good crossbow Gumbar bb!
/r d20+5
BOT
@Kalochex: d20+5 = (3)+5 = 8
Jesus christ
As a bonus action I rage.
8 hits!
go ahead and roll damage 
Lmao
Roll dmg for me please. Don't have my sheet.
/r 1d12+3
BOT
@Dungeon Master: 1d12+3 = (1)+3 = 4
/r 1d8
BOT
@Dungeon Master: 1d8 = (7) = 7
you run up to the creature, lift your greataxe, and bring it down while shouting in anger
your axe parts it cleanly down the middle, spraying you with bits of blackness - you take 7 acid damage
as you pull your greataxe back to you you see the blade is now slightly notched from where the acid has eaten bits of the metal away
it has a permanent -1 damage penalty
but most importantly, as you stand raging, you see that where one large creature stood, now two smaller creatures stand
1
1
@Bongo you are up!
Have I moved away ? Last turn that is?
Out of melee range?
yes, you are now 35' away from the nearest of the two creatures
Gimme a sec. lost internet
I cast magic missile as a second level spell
at which one?
Two?? I missed that r
"but most importantly, as you stand raging, you see that where one large creature stood, now two smaller creatures stand"
Gotcha
Left
his greataxe appears to have split it into two smaller versions of itself
k, roll 1d4
/r 4*(1d4+1)
BOT
@Bongo: 4*(1d4+1) = 4*((2)+1) = 12
Hrmmmm
your magical darts of force strike the ooze on the left, blasting most of its form away into the darkness
as you watch the creature on the left begins to adhere to the wall, climbing up it a few feet before moving around Gumbar to stick to the wall between him and Ramza. at the same time the other creature slithers between Kalochex' legs and stops behind him. booth oozes strike simultaneously, one going for Ramza, the other for Kalochex
/r d20+5 *ramza
BOT
@Dungeon Master: Episkey!
ramza:
/r 1d20+5
BOT
@Dungeon Master: 1d20+5 = (2)+5 = 7
kalochex:
/r 1d20+5
BOT
@Dungeon Master: 1d20+5 = (16)+5 = 21
I can riposte with my crossbow, yes? Not looking at the text currently
Ramza dodges out of the way as the small form on the left reaches out to strike him
No attacks of opp?
Nvm nope
i was just going to ask that
you cannot, unfrotunately, you can only riposte with a readied melee weapon
no attacks of op - the creatures never left your threatened areas
does a 21 hit you @Kalochex ?
Yeah easily.
are you wearing any armor?
No.
/r 1d6+3
BOT
@Dungeon Master: 1d6+3 = (1)+3 = 4
you take 4 bludgeoning damage (reduced to 2)
/r 3d8
BOT
@Dungeon Master: 3d8 = (8+5+1) = 14
and 14 acid damage as the pseudopod burns your unarmoured skin
I think that puts me out. Unless I got healed earlier and didn't see it
i didnt heal you. Bongo may have im not sure
the rest of the party sees Kalochex clutch his already-wounded arm, then fall to the ground unconcious
@Xavavor you are up
the one on the left looks like it is barely holding itself together
the one on the right looks more substantial, but not by much
i hate the sewers...ELDRITCH BLAST to the one on the right.
/r d20+6
BOT
@Xavavor: d20+6 = (14)+6 = 20
that's a hit!
/r d10+4
BOT
@Xavavor: d10+4 = (6)+4 = 10
your blast of force knocks most of it into the sewers - it is looking very diminished
@Gumbar
wait
soory
@Octavious you are up first
then gumbar
I’ll hold my action until@after xavavor does his spell attack. 
xav just went
Just making sure the order is good to go
yep, it is your turn
Okay just for clarity Ramza is blocking my shot... is Kalo (who is now down) blocking my shot?
you can see the one on the right clearly, on the ground in front of kalochex. the one on the left is currently on the wall between ramza and gumbar
To the one now in E13?
Shoot the one on the right...
/r d20+6
BOT
@Octavious: d20+6 = (8)+6 = 14
actually, according to rules allies give cover - that kinda makes sense I guess. you can either pop over to M-12 to shoot, or a 14 hits anyway even with cover
go ahead and roll damage with sneak attack
/r 3d6+4
BOT
@Octavious: 3d6+4 = (1+4+5)+4 = 14
your arrow knocks the rest of the creature into the sewers below, completely splattering it
@Gumbar now you can go
is the remaining creature wounded at all?
yes, it is barely keeping itself together
and kalochex is unconcious next to you
i would like to cast toll the dead
12 wis save
/r d20-2
BOT
@Dungeon Master: d20-2 = (5)-2 = 3
it fails!
since it is missing HP it is 1d12
!roll 1d12
BOT
@Gumbar rolled 3.
yep!
fuck me
it only had 3 HP
#3isbigenough
My lifes motto
the creature hears a bell in it's brain, which is odd since it has neither ears nor a brain. either way it shrivels into a dried husk and is dead
@Ramza you are up
(no more enemies to fight but with an unconcious ally initiative remains)
“Oh holy crap!”
ramza is going to attempt to stabilize our new scaly friend
@Octavious make a perception check
@Gumbar make a medicine check with ramza's skill
!roll d20+1
BOT
@Gumbar rolled 7. (6, 1)
...
Ramza is unfamiliar with acid burns, not sure how to stabilize him
@Kalochex make a death save please
/r d20
BOT
@Kalochex: d20 = (10) = 10
one success!
Bongo will try to help stabilize as well
That's kind of you.
/r d20+3
BOT
@Dungeon Master: d20+3 = (7)+3 = 10
not kind of me, rules say 10 is a success
10 is also a success to stabilize - you are no longer dying, and will regain conciousness after 1d4 minutes
/r 1d4
BOT
@Dungeon Master: 1d4 = (3) = 3
Oh whew lol. I thought it was 1-10 fail and 11-20 success
nope, odds are slightly stacked in favor of not dying
1-9 = fail, 10-20 = pass
Awesome news.
/r d20+4
BOT
@Octavious: d20+4 = (6)+4 = 10
@Octavious you are still caught up in the heat of battle, you don't notice anything special
1,100 xp total (183 each)
