Eshanna snarls upon seeing the boiling skin of Morley quite too far to reach in time. "MAVIC!" she screeched with a nod of her head toward the wounded figure on the far side of the creature.
Seeing that no one can easily get to her critically-wounded companion, Latalya decides to take matters into her own hands. As she quickly steps past Morley’s ferociously barking dog (OOC: 5-foot step), she speaks the brief high-elven command words which completes the spell she had memorized that morning (OOC: Latalya casts Dimension Door). Before touching the priestess of Wee Jas on the shoulder she says, “Eshanna, Mavic will be fine. I need an eleventh hour rescue on Morley, prepare for a brief jump.” As soon as her hand reaches the scarred woman’s armored epaulette, Eshanna disappears with a brief sound of an intake of breath.
Since Latalya did not have a good view of the destination she was sending Eshanna to, the cleric appears just above water level next to the stone platform where Morley lies motionless. She hangs in the air for a split-second, a slight sense of disorientation on her face before plunging into the foul water below her. Luckily the water seems to only be about 4 feet deep at that point, and the cleric quickly recovers her feet and her bearing.
Reivik briefly toys with an insane idea of how he could get over to Morley with the help of the elemental, but when he sees Eshanna appearing in mid-air, he drops the thought with a shake of his head. “Damn,” he mumbles, “that would have worked.” Sighing he lifts Bar once again and tries to finally put an end to the fiendish creature before him. He makes solid contact with the body on his first swing, eviscerating a large part of the creature’s semi-solid form which splatters in ebony and crimson on the wall next to the dwarf. On his second attack he scores a truly legendary hit as his giant hammer seems to drive through the body of the creature and literally split it in half. It quivers like a midwinter pudding and then slowly begins to dissolve. The tentacles which had been flailing about wildly go limp and float on top of the water, hissing quietly as the acid continues to dissipate (OOC: Bar attack #1 15 + 13 = 28, hit! Damage 1d12 + 22 = Ooze takes 25 points of damage; Bar attack#2 20! Crit threat roll 16 + 8 = 24, crit! Damage (1d12 + 22 = 30) x 4 = Ooze takes 12030 hp of damage. Um, the Ooze is really, really dead. Like at, oh, -103 hp ).
Eshanna, now that the dangers seems to have past, wades over to Morley and says a quiet prayer to her dark patroness as she touches the rangers forehead (OOC: Eshanna casts Cure Moderate Wounds, curing 2d8 + 8 = 20 hp of damage, bringing him to 12 hp and consciosness).
The chamber is still brightly illuminated by Mavic's flaming sphere spell which was never able to affect the creature, but happily burns away on the far side of the round chamber. The water elemental, unsure of what to do, looks to its summoner.
