Artival fires off another magic missle, hoping it would penetrate the monster's defenses this time.
Caster Check v. SR
Damage
Ka'kara lops off a noisome piece of the monster, giving Gregori the opportunity to pull Lyria away from its grasp. In a horrible squelch, though, the monster seems to renew itself from nowhere, leaving Lyria covered in sticky, sticky poo.
Artival's magic still has no effect.
Ka'kara, Mahaffy and Roylenna still to go, then the monster.
Roylenna decides that if her magic won't hurt the monster, she will help her friends.
with all the people around , Can Mahaffy flank ?
Time to get dirty !
Mahaffy move into position and attack
Mahaffy cuts deep into the creature, which retaliates for 17 points (including acid), grabbing him in a most disgusting way.
You are all up.
Slashing wildly at the oozy monstrosity Ka'kara slips on some of the goo throwing her last swing completely wild and making Mahaffy glad that he is short.
Tika stabs away with her spear whilst maintaining the inspire courage.
Attack

Damage
Crit damage
Gregori once again hefts his blade, hacking into the filth strewn fecal monster.
Confirm
Mahaffy struggle to strike
Roylenna tries the scorching ray again.
Spell Resistance
The good news is that you manage to put a fair amount of hurt in the monster, even if it heals at an alarming rate. The bad news is that it is immune to cold, has DR/magic (making Tikas spear ineffective) and is immune to critical hits (so no sneak attack damage).
It crushes and burns Mahaffy for another 21 points of damage.
You are up.
Seeing her spearhaving no effect Tika instead resorts to healing Mahaffy and continues to inspire courage
Cure light
Third time has to be the charm, right? Artival thinks as he tries yet another spell.
Ranged Touch
Electric (Scorching Ray) Damage
Caster Check
Roylenna steps back and casts a spell, conjuring a tiny ghostly hand.
Gregori's blade slashes at the filth monster savagely, seeking to destroy the foul abomination.
Last round extra attack
This round
You haven't exactly killed the huge pile of cr*p, but you have managed to temporarily inconvenience it. It's collecting itself before your very eyes, but you have the opportunity to get óut should you choose to.
What will you do now?
Roylenna looks at the others, "Well? Do we want to destroy it, or make good our escape?"
Gregori draws a flask of alchemist's fire from his pack tossing it at the reassembling feculence.
"We should leave here, there seems to be no point to being hurt more by this thing, as much as I hate leaving it here for some other poor hapless bastard."
Openly disgusted by the entire encounter Ka'kara wrinkles her nose and nods vigorously.
Roylenna's tiny ghostly hand follows obediently at her shoulder as she turns and leads the way back out of the crowded little room.
"Yeah leaving sounds good." Tika follows Roylenna out.
"I agree let's get out of here. And remember to not blindly walk back into this room."
The oozing pile is unaffected by the alchemist's fire.
Do you want to leave the dungeon or just the room? You still have the corridor to explore.
Before leaving the room, Lyria looks around for anything interesting, including into the latrines (again).
You've been in there about 20 minutes of game time.
Lydia sees nothing in the latrines except a copious amount of dung. A Detect Magic registers something down there though. There isn't really room for a Medium character to descend, and maybe that's just as well.
"I think we've had enough of this @%#, let's get out of here" Gregori says moving towards the door.
Roylenna cautiously looks where Lyria is looking. "I'm not doing down there, but maybe this will work..." Casting Mage Hand to see if she can move whatever it is.
She will also try to clean whatever it is with Prestiditation if it is within range.
While the more martially minded keep hacking at the reforming midden to keep it down Roylenna sends her magic down the hole and manages to fish out a leather bag, a magic dagger and a small stoppered brass bottle.
You can clean them somewhat, but you can't really do anything about the smell.
Roylenna will use Prestidigitation to clean the items as much as possible. When it becomes obvious that the smell won't go away, she opts to mask it with a scent reminiscent of sandalwood and old leather.
If only so she can stand it long enough to study what she's found.
Detect Magic and study each of them once we retreat from the latrine. She will ask Artival to coordinate with her - one opening the bag with Mage Hand, one 'reaching' in for its contents - when it comes time to investigate the leather bag.
Spellcraft check for the dagger
The bag is full of more gold than should reasonably fit inside it, 417 gp in all, and best of all, the gold doesn't smell.
The bag radiates moderate conjuration and the bottle strong conjuration. It's still spellcraft to identify them, and Roylenna can't tell what the dagger is.

Spell craft for bag
Bottle
So far you haven't beem able to identify any of the items. I take it that you will make a tactical retreat from the fecal monstrosity, but where do you want to go? Deeper into the dungeon or home to recuperate, sell some stuff and let Tika level up?
Spellcraft dagger
The dagger is +3, actually.
"That is one nifty dagger," Artival explains. "It would fetch a tidy little profit from a local merchant," he adds, detailing its powerful magic to the group.
"We might as well get out of this cesspit and get clean, before even minor injuries end up infected. Besides we just fought a @^#$&# monster over a magic dagger, I think we need to call it a day and start over tomorrow.....when things make sense."
"I agree. I'm tired and smelly enough to simply want a hot bath now".
