CG's IC Rescue at Rivenroar

[Redclaw]

Fine by me, Mogryn responds. His eyes stray to the darkness the goblins disappeared into, however.

You carefully open the door. The corridor goes down about 20 feet before turning 90 degrees to the right. You see an amazing sight. Most of the wall to the north is taken up by a flickering image of a fetid swamp. You see a castle in the background, but most of what you see is brown and yellow muck.

The dwarf grumbles, "This is the crackling room I remember. The hobgoblins rushed through this room very quickly to the door on the left."

 

[EvolutionKB]

"Crackling room? Hmm..." Following the instructions, the warrior moves to the door on the left and opens it, pausing to look behind the image, making sure it doesn't conceal anything.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

[sblock=to myself]Would no response in 24 hours indicate that no one else moved through the room but instead looked at the image for more than a few seconds? I think that's meaner and more fun so yeah.[/sblock]

Whorven breaks off from the rest of you and moves to the far door. Whorven sees nothing but a blank wall behind the image, in fact, you see the room, right through where the image is, if you looked through it from the reverse side.

The rest of you stand in the entrance, looking at the image. It isn't static, but instead, you see a bird flying in the distance, and clouds moving in the sky. In the foreground, the yellowish-brown muck is bubbling a bit.

Keyleth, Mognyr, Vessel, Argosin, Whorven, Ooze[/sblock]
Keyleth and Argosin are the only ones not stunned as a glob of ochre protoplasm oozes out of the image and begins sliding towards the party.

The ochre jelly shifts 4 squares.
Split (when first bloodied; encounter)
The ochre jelly splits into two, each with hit points equal
one-half its current hit points. Effects applied to the
original ochre jelly do not apply to the second one. An
ochre jelly can’t split if it is reduced to 0 hit points by the
attack that bloodied it. Left alone, the two halves of the
ochre jelly recombine into a single creature at the end of
the encounter.

Keyleth

Keyleth doesn't really want to get closer to that thing for now and her magic does not have the range necessary, so she awaits its inevitable movement.


OOC: Readying a Sacred Flame attack for when it gets into range.

 

[renau1g]

Argosin follows Keyleth's lead and decides to stay away from the unknown creature, it might not be hostile so why provoke?

He does move into the room and along the wall, taking up a defensive posture.

The Jelly slides along the floor towards the moving dragonborn. It extends part of its mass towards Argosin, but misses, the slime dripping on the floor appearing to dissolve it s little bit.[sblock=rolls]Versus Argosin AC (1d20+8=10, 2d6+1=13)[/sblock]

Never one to try the subtle approach, Mognyr charges forward with a howl, attempting to slice himself a chunk of jelly. Unfortunately, the amorphous mass of his enemy leaves him with no clear idea where to strike it, and his strike is indecisive and inaccurate.

[sblock=ooc] Charge, ending in H9, Howling Strike, hits AC 13 for 15 damage.[/sblock]
