Effect: A square of acidic mire is difficult terrain for creatures. They sink into the mire, acid clinging to flesh and clothing. In addition, any creature that starts its turn in a square of acidic mire takes ongoing 5 acid damage and is slowed (save ends both).* Steps are Difficult Terrain.* Ochre Jellies (Level 3 Elite Brute x 2) 102 HP, AC 15, Fortitude 16, Reflex 14, Will 14* Jelly Spitters (Level 3 Minion Controllers x 5) 1 HP, AC 17, Fortitude 16, Reflex 13, Will 15* Second Nation 2N (Level 3 Standard NA x 1) 47 HP, AC 17, Fortitude 16, Reflex 14, Will 14, Speed 4, Trait:  If Adjacent to an ally gain +1 PB to All Defenses.  Only 1 Move Action Per Turn.* WIN CONDITION - Either get 2N to any of red squares OPQR-1 or defeat all enemies.* LOSS CONDITION - 2N is reduced to 0 HP, at which time, the group will scatter with grave injuries (which will need to be Healed immediately), emerging on the streets above and make an enormous spectacle which Imperial Forces will hone in on.[HR][/HR]INITIATIVEChanvati & Minotaurs (S) & 2N 19Jelly Spitters (M) 17Pa'avu 14Hazard 13Ochre Jelly 7BB 6[ATTACH=full]275722[/ATTACH]ROUND 1[HR][/HR]At the sound of screams, PA'AVU immediately turns away from her stare-down with the "seer" to witness the dissolved flesh of the woman's arm. The sight triggers memories of frequently being sent cave-mushroom-hunting with her peers - the adults being far too massive to fit in the narrow tunnels. They rarely but disastrously encountered creatures such these in the depths. More than once, young Pa'avu was one of two or three survivors of such encounters, usually with her leading the others to safety.* (No Action) Monster Knowledge Check (Nature): Ochre Jelly: r(11) + 4 = 15* (No Action) Monster Knowledge Check (Nature): Ochre Jelly Minions: r(9) + 4 = 13Ochre Jelly & Jelly Spitter (Med DC):  Large natural beast (blind, ooze), acid, blindsight 10, unaligned.[HR][/HR]As chaos breaks out once again, CHANVATI processes the threats around them and barks out orders."Sahtree, break through that wall! Make us an exit to safety! Then defend our comrades from harm!"Then he pulls a sunrod from his satchel and lights it, illuminating the chamber in bright blue light. He binds the ochre jelly to his telekinetic control, and flings it across the chamber into the jelly spitter in the doorway, obliterating the latter into a smudge of goo and partially blocking the opening between chambers with the bulk of the ochre jelly.* Free Action (Battle Harness): Draw sunrod and ignite it.* Standard Action: Living Missile vs OJ1 (in C17), r(18) +7 = 25 vs 16 Fort.

M in I15 is destroyed or prone and split (if it has that ability). OJ1 takes half damage (6) and is prone and immobilized (SE) in H15.[HR][/HR]A volley of acid erupts from the JELLY SPITTERS.  Chanvati's psionic defenses and agility protects him, but Hazard and the bundle of terrified humanity that is The 2nd Nation refugees find themselves desperately dodging the flying goop and, unfortunately, ending up in the Acidic Mire as a result!M (G18)* Standard Action:  Spit (R10) vs 2N Ref; r(18) +6 = 24.

Miss.M (A18)* Standard Action:  Spit (R10) vs C Ref; r(4) +6 = 10. Miss.[HR][/HR]PA'AVU takes a quick moment to solidify her thoughts and muscles before bursting into action. First, she races at full tilt toward the wall, next to one of the spitters, as her gosb'tar indicated. She feels a slight current from her new badge and sees a normally attentive foe miss its opportunity to attack her.Having satisfactorily knocked a passageway through the stone, she turns toward a larger foe threatening her wards. Lifting Velmech'ti above her head, she charges forward once again, her blade gleaming with power to spare, her throat howling with its own energy. As she slices into  her gelatinous opponent, she calls out to Hazard to attend to the smaller foe she left guarding their exit.Then, all she can do is prepare for the expected onslaught.* Minor Action: Stone's Endurance (Enc): Resist 5 All UEoMNT* Standard Action: Terrain Stunt to knock hole through wall: Athletics Skill Check (Powerful Athlete applies): Move from D13 to H10); r(18,14) + 11 = 29,25 vs. 21 DC Success; Close Blast 3 [I11, I12, I13, J11, J12, J13, K11, K12, K13]; Effect: open door [H10, H11] spaces in brackets = difficult terrain<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Minor Action: Vanguard Daily: when you make a charge attack (see following action): hit = all allies w/in 10 squares = +1 ATK rolls USoMNT</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Free Action (AP) for Standard Action: Howling Strike as charge (from H10 to H13): r(8) + 10 = 18 vs. 15 AC Hit; Damage: r(2) + r(4) + r(8/Vanguard) + 5 = 19 damage</li> </ul>Pa'avu: 33/43 HP, 11/11 Surges remaining,  1 AP remaining[HR][/HR]Hazard: 58 HP - 3 - 5(OG) = 50/58 HP; 5 Ongoing Acid, Slowed (save ends)HAZARD gives a yelp of pain  at the acidic spray which slides him into yet more acid. Preparing to attack his attacker, instead he follows the instructions from his Beloved Friend to attack another instead. He understands his mission is to get the weaker ones out. The acid clinging to his feet does not allow him his usual charge, but this yellow thing is close enough. Emboldened by the closeness of one of his new horned friends, he attacks the squishy thing with gusto. Its squishing is accomplished with an unsatisfying ease. Hazard looks up alertly for more instructions.* Move Action: F12 to F11 (exit difficult terrain)* Standard Action: Charge at M(H9): move 2 squares: from F11 to G9, ATK: r(11) + 8 + 1(charge) + 1 (Pa'avu's Vanguard)= 21 vs 17 AC; damage: r(4) + 9 (w/in 2 of Bjorkus/E11) = 13 ... but ... minion.  Slain!Save vs OG, Slowed = 10 phewf!50/58 HP, 11/11 Surges left[HR][/HR]The OCHRE JELLIES move inexorably toward tasty morsels to absorb into their oozey oozitude.  Acidic bludgeons rise up and slam into Pa'avu, Chavanti, and the terrified collective of the The 2nd Nation as reflexive cries of pain marry to the sizzle of clothes, armor, protective magics, and stray exposed flesh.OJ1* Move Action:  Stand up from Prone.* Standard Action:  Slam vs P AC; r(15) +8 = 23.

Hit. r(6, 1) +1 = 8 acid damage and ongoing 5 acid damage (save ends).TRIGGER - CHANVATI VENGEANCE IS MINEAs the second ochre jelly oozes across the tunnel floor with uncanny speed and slams its bulk into Chanvati, the Psion responds with a blast of psychic force and recalls Pa'avu to his succor. The Goliath rushes in, slashing her greatsword into the threatening mass.* Vengeance Is Mine: Immediate Reaction: Trigger: An enemy hits you (OJ2 Slam attack). Chanvati makes a basic attack Mind Thrust vs OJ2, r(15) +7 +1 = 23 vs 15 AC. Hit for r(8) +5 = 13 damage. Pa'avu moves from H13 to E12, avoiding Acidic Mire but opening herself to OA from OJ1 and makes MBA vs OJ2, r(7) +9 = 16 vs 15 AC. Hit for r(10) +5 = 15 damage.

The infernal might that is her birthright boils forth from her in pure rage, which she directs with a glower and pointed finger at the nearest enemy threatening her comrades.The ochre jelly ripples back in waves from the onslaught. "Do something, Chanvati!" she yells and makes her way to the Goliath-sized hole Pa'avu punched through the wall. "Hold tight, everyone," Chanvati calls out, "this will be a bumpy ride."* Standard Action: Infernal Glower vs OJ2, r(17) +6 +1 (Vanguard) = 24 vs 14 Will.

Space folds in on itself across half the chamber, catching both ochre jellies, Pa'avu, and the members of the 2nd Nation struggling to emerge from the acidic mire within its collapse. The center of the chamber is clear, Chanvati's allies teleported into the adjacent room and the ochre jellies flung haphazardly towards the far wall. The psion smiles and lashes out with a second unhinging of space, this time atomizing one of the jelly spitters and ravaging the ochre jelly nearest their escape. "Run, everyone, while we can!" he calls out, moving and buoying his spirits with the efficacy of his attacks.* Begins turn: takes 5 OG acid damage, HP 20/33.* Free Action: Staff of the War Mage Daily Power to increase size of burst by 1.* Standard Action: Dimensional Scramble centered on square F14, area burst 2.

Fail. 33/33 HPs, 6/7 Surges, 1/3 PPs, 1 AP.[HR][/HR]The members of THE 2ND NATION reel as they disappear out of the acidic mire and appear just beyond the wall savaged by the Goliath. Several members bend over and retch. Others cheer their deliverance--prematurely, surely. They begin to pick their way carefully over the fallen masonry towards safety, potent acid still clinging painfully to their clothing.* Start of turn: Take 5 OG acid damage. 26/47 HPs.* Move Action: J11 to J9 (DT counts as 2 squares).* End of turn: Save vs OG acid damage. r(9). Fail.[HR][/HR]Bita-Bousseh's STALWARTS follow the orders she barks at them, Bjorkus heading out through the broken wall, across the fallen masonry, and charging the Jelly Spitter that still threatens their allies. Like the bull that is his heritage, Bjorkus lowers his head, catching the jelly upon his horns as he splatters it into a liquid mass with his battleaxe. Aesterion and Minerion move close to the barrister, taking up defensive positions to protect their master. Bjorkus * Move Action, E11 to J12 (1 square is DT).* Standard Action to Charge M (L15), r(13) +8 +1 (Charge) +1 (Vanguard) = 23 vs 17 AC. Hit.

Hit for 3 (-5 DR) = 0 acid damage and P slides to G13.  In Acidic Mire at start of next turn 5 OG Acid and Slowed <SE>.[HR][/HR]PA'AVU's slide from the Spitter ends in the acid pool, and  she shakes the sweat from her head. Determined to put a stop to this nonsense, the goliath pulls her feet out of the sticky yellow goo with determination and removes one of her javelins. If the Jelly Spitter were able to see, it would witness her stone skin glittering with protective power, shielding Pa'avu from damage yet again. She tries to keep her gaze steady on the closer foe, but her attention is distracted by the mitosis of the Ochre Jellies not ... quite ... far away ... enough. Her javelin sails past without touching the Spitter. Pa'avu breathes a sigh and shakes her head again. She feels Velmech'ti's energy to itself as its glow diminishes. As the acid melts from her feet, she  feels her mobility returning and stands ready to her foe's next attack.* Start of Turn: Vanguard weapon +1 ATK to allies ends; takes 5 Ongoing Acid Damage - 5 Resist All (StEn); Slowed (SE)* Move Action (Slowed): Move out of Acid: from G13 to F14* Minor Action: take out 1 Javelin* Standard Action (RBA): throw Javelin at Jelly Spitter (D14): r(3) + 7 vs 17 AC Miss* End of Turn: Stone's Endurance 5 Resist All ends; Save vs Ongoing Acid Damage/Slowed: 16 - EndsPa'avu: 28/43 HP; 11/11 Surges; 1 AP remaining (0 for this encounter)[HR][/HR]Seeing his Beloved Friend stranded alone fighting the squishy yellow monsters, HAZARD abandons his post - now crowded with other defenders - and rushes the closest foe. Once again he finds it easy to smoosh and protect Her. He quickly shakes whatever sticks to his fur and looks up at his BF, panting, wagging his tail, and hoping for more satisfying  - and less painful - foe. He would take a bite or a blade and something made of meat over this foul sticky liquid any time!* Standard Action: Charge to D13 and Bite on Jelly Spitter (D14): r(10) + 8 + 1 (Charge) = 19 vs. 17 AC Hit (& squish)Hazard: 50/58 HP, 11/11 Surges left[HR][/HR]The near mindless OCHRE JELLIES sploosh and undulate on sheer instinct toward Pa'avu and Hazard, battering them with acidic bludgeons.OJ1* Standard Action:  Charge to E15 & Slam vs H AC; r(7) +8 (+1) = 16.

Miss.[HR][/HR]Delaying in the recently-opened "doorway," BITA-BOUSSEH calls out to her comrades, "Continue on to safety, friends! We will be shortly behind!" Through force of will made palpable, she menaces the large ochre jelly once again, but the creature's primitive mind is as slippery as its form.* Standard Action: Infernal Glower vs OJ1 (E15), r(3) +6 = 9 vs 14 Will. Miss.[HR][/HR]Regarding the mass of earthy yellow jellies surrounding his slave, CHANVATI thinks, "This will not do." The psion shields Pa'avu from his uncanny folding of space, but otherwise assaults the material field in the vicinity, scattering two of the oozes, at least, across the chamber.* Standard Action: Dimensional Scramble (AUG 1), centered on square F15. Attack vs. OJ1 (E15) (augmented by Adept's Insight), r(16) +7 +1 (no PPs remainings) = 24 vs 16 Fort. Hit. Attack vs O3 (G14), r(18) +7 = 25 vs 16 Fort. Hit. Attack vs O4 (G15), r(1) = automiss.

Bita-Bousseh gains +2 to all defenses UEoSNT.[HR][/HR]As the acid from the attack by one of the smaller Jellies continues to eat into PA'AVU's flesh, she breathes deeply into her l'pahb'gin, seeking and finding much-needed healing. As she raises Velmech'ti to attempt to deliver a blow to its gelatinous partner, there is a faint sound of hardening sand as the tears in the goliath's flesh heal significantly. Perhaps it is because so much energy is focused on this that her blow merely slides off the Jelly's surface. However, as she carefully steps back to leave room for her hound to attack, she smiles as she notices more vigor in her feet.* Takes 5 Ongoing Acid Damage (20 - 5 = 15 HP), Slowed* Minor Action (Enc): Iron Resurgence: lose 1 surge, spend 2 surges (15 + 20 = 35 HP), 5 THP* Standard Action (Enc): Thunder Howl vs O4: r(5) + 9 = 14 vs. 15 AC Miss* Move Action: Shift to E13* Save vs. Ongoing Acid Damage/Slowed: 18 Success Pa'avu: 35/43 HP (5 THP), 8/11 Surges left, no longer Slowed/Ongoing Damage[HR][/HR]HAZARD uses his Beloved's example to ignore the acid biting into his flesh and struggles to leap forward to attack Her foe. While this one is not as squishy as the others, he enjoys leaving it almost squashed. Until - that is - he stops ... and feels the lingering feeling of acidic pain. He glances imploringly at his Beloved, but his help comes from another source, her Human. Looking in His direction, the hound can feel the acid evaporate and his feet free once more. He gives a sharp excited bark in thanks.* Takes 5 Ongoing Acid Damage (40 - 5 = 35 HP), Slowed* Standard Action: Charge ATK vs. O4: move 2 squares to F14, r(8) + 8 + 1 (Charge) = 17 vs 15 AC; Damage: r(9) + 9 (w/in 2 sq of ally) = 18 HP* Save vs. Ongoing Acid Damage/Slowed:  1st) 1 Fail; 2nd) (w/Chanvati's Broach of No Regrets Daily Power): 15 + 2 = 17 Success!!

She reaches down into her l'pahb'gin for the best strategy for accomplishing this, finds it, then makes a low scream that reverberates through her armor and into the Jelly threatening them. Then she gingerly shifts between her opponent and her hound to better position herself in maneuvering their escape.  The goliath suddenly brings Velmech'ti up slicing through the Jelly's flesh, pushing it just far enough for them to escape.
