No worries.Sorry to vanish like that. Internet connectivity turned out to be a problem this week while I was on vacation. Will try to get caught up asap.
Ah, I didn't realize that Caerth doesn't have a bludgeoning weapon.I posted in the IC that Caerth decided to ready his action. However, arrows are useless so he drops that idea but has no effective way to fight the ooze; no blunt weapon, no useful spell, no torches to set the thing on fire... so I'm kind of stuck.
