Dotting due to server issues.
Urk! I have two scrolls in my pack that cure sickness! hurk!
The eyes disappear. A few seconds later two creatures pop out of the water. One on either stair leading into the sludge.
Initiative Order:
John
Duncan
Lemures
Lucrezia
Andrea
Orsin
RD1 Begins:
John and Andrea need to make another Fort DC14 save to see if they are over their sickness. They can't act until they make the save.
Inspire courage on my turn. On mobile, sorry for brevity.
Andrea's mouth fills with what little bile she has left as she struggles against the reek.
She manages to choke it down.
Hopefully the knowledge of what she sees springs to mind and she quickly tells others what the creatures are and what the best tactics to use are.
When she is able, Andrea pulls out a scroll of Remove Sickness to use.
Orsin you are nauseated heading into your turn. Make another DC14 Fort save to see if you can act in RD1.
Andrea you know these creatures are lemure...the grubs of devils. They have resistance to acid and cold; immune to fire and mind effects. Damage resistance but can be overcome by good or silver.
Andrea spits out a bit of bile. Lemures! Just like the ones we fought on the stage. Use silver or divinely blessed weapons. I can bless a weapon after I remove this illness on us.
Andrea will cast defensivly to cast Remove Sickness on Orsin which will supress his Nausea for 50 minutes.
Andrea avoids the waving claws(Hopefully) and Orsin's stomach goes still.
As I said before, Orsin begins to inspire courage on his turn, granting a +2 to attack and damage rolls the following round.
The lemure closest to Duncan attacks.

The second lemure on the southern step holds until someone comes close.

Orsin
For her second round action, Andrea will cast Remove Sickness on John if he is unable to shake his Nausea. If he can, she casts it on Lucrezia.
John will pull out his Silver mace and attack the nearest Lemure
John's vicious attack kills the remaining lemure.
Duncan asks, "Aye agree wit ye girl, pass out the sickness medicine. We need ti git to the chests, lets look at those four magic items on the way." He reenacts his detect magic.
Andrea casts her remaining Remove Sickness on Lucrezia so she won't fall prey to Nausea(50 Minutes +4 to saves)
Andrea then gives an Anti-Plague to Orsin,John and Duncan(+4 vs. Disease for 1 hour)
Lucrezia can fight with her bow and well, since you three most likely will be in the muck, you should take it.
Lets finish this!.
Anyone entering the filthy water must make a Fort save DC14.
Duncan
Duncan grumbles,"Aye hate water." but he has his trusty battle axe in his hand as he looks at the closest glowing water. "Keep ready and git me back, John" He tests the water depth it 2 feet high by the step but slopes downward. The bottom of the pond is soft and pliable.
Duncan is focused on the glowing item.
John follows Duncan in after drinking the anti-plague.
Andrea waits by the edge while the others head in.
Andrea is too worried about the filth and keeping her companions healthy than to notice anything within the room.
For the moment, Lucrezia is staying up on the steps with her bow at the ready. She's scanning the water around her comrades, just waiting for something else to pop up for her to shoot at.
As duncan wades deeping in the filth followed by John, the muck is getting to 3.5 feet tall. the dwarf's beard is covered with refuge and crud. His boot kicks something and he reaches down covering most of his neck in yak. His hand emerges holding and wand. "Not any use fer its last owner."
Orsin follows Duncan and John but his vision is blurred as he vomits.
Duncan continues and reaches down in V34 this turn his hand coming up with a simple golden crown. "It be some kind of magic," he hands the wand to John, "pass that ti the Girl." He then passes the crown to his big friend.
orsin's stomach finally calms down and he is able to pull up the rear. So far: Duncan, John and Orsin are in the filth, while Andrea is on the northern step and Lucrezia is on the southern step with her bow.
Suddenly the water explodes as large greenish brown hideous creature emerges. It has two horns, a gaping mouth, two tentacles, two hands holding long swords, and rugged beard its body grossly misshapen. Clearly the result of some strange twisted magic.
It swings one sword at Duncan: (Surprise RD)
Missing horribly.

Rd1:
unfortunately, the monster is not showing up on the map. He is large and taking up squares Y and Z, 33 and 34.
Whatever it is, Lucrezia will shoot at it with her arrows.
Andrea will cast Weapons against Evil. on Lucrezia's bow/arrows when her turn comes up.
On Andrea's next turn, she will move to the platform's edge and tap Duncan/John with her wand of Protection from Evil
If Duncan/John/Orsin/etc are injured, she will use her CLW wand to heal them
If either gets severely wounded, she converts a Lesser Restoration into Cure Moderate Wounds
If everyone seems to be doing ok, she throws a holy water at the monster
John you are certain this is a warped evil outsider, combination of a beard devil and otyugh (an aberration), the result of twisted magic. DR/silver and good, immune to disease, fire and poison; resistant to acid and cold and there is Spell resistance. A full round action can be deadly with multiple sword strikes, bite and 2 tentacles.
Duncan is out of judgments but he presses his attack.
he hits the beast hard with his Battle AXe.
The beast unleashes on Duncan.
The longsword int eh right hand misses both attacks.
The second long sword with is more defensive in nature misses its attack.
The creature tries to wallop Duncan with its two tentacles.
It hits Duncan once for 4 HP of damage. John I assume you are next to Duncan so he gets your shield bonus.

Duncan will detect magic and he picks up one to John and the other to Orsin. "They be magical, need some time to identify them. The beast was fond of 'em." He then moves to the remaining spots of sludge which had a glow. He reaches down and finds a ring and a cold iron battle axe. Smiling at the battleaxe, "Warms they heart having a fine weapon in me hand."
There are three steps leading out of the sludge to two alcoves that contain the two stone chests.
"Lucrezia ye want to come over and check these fer traps?"
Might as well check the one on the right.
Lucrezia goes to check for traps.
