Amada gladly goes to the library with her. "Sure, I'd love to."

"Well,that went about as badly as it could have," she sighed, as they walked down the hallway.

"Amada, watch out!" she shrieked, spotting a moving puddle up ahead.

The ooze pauses, sensing life. It makes a beeline for Ephebe.

She shrieked and backed away as fast as she could.

I totally forgot I had a status cast on Ephebe...would that have picked up the emotional rolelr coaster earlier, and her panic now?

The ooze goes by Ephebe but is going too fast on the smooth floor to stop. It crashes into the wall. It regroups and moves towards the pair again (at the same speed).

I totally forgot I had a status cast on Ephebe...would that have picked up the emotional rolelr coaster earlier, and her panic now?

Hmmm....it's a tough call as to whether she would have been considered panicked or not. The spell tracks conditions not emotions... I'm gonna say no so far. But of course he'd know right away if she were wounded or such.

Ephebe slammed a shell into her Caster and took aim at the ooze.

To hit: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

Slow spell, DC 19 Will

The ooze is hit easily. It begins moving very, very slowly.

Lysander shakes his head.

Sighs

"Come on," Ephebe said, grabbing Amada's arm and heading back towards the gym. "I don't know about you, but I am not loaded for ooze."

She burst into the gym, gun in hand and looking a little freaked out.

"Mom! There's an ooze wandering the hall! I hit it with a slow spell, but it needs to be contained before it eats someone!"

Jiminy focused his reality bending ability on the pipe the slime creature had escaped from, making it narrower and narrower in an attempt to stop any more overgrown snot balls from getting out.

She burst into the gym, gun in hand and looking a little freaked out.

"Ah, Ephebe! How goes my star theology student?"

"Mom! There's an ooze wandering the hall! I hit it with a slow spell, but it needs to be contained before it eats someone!"

"Well, that can't be good. The oozes usually stay in the pipes where there is plenty of food..."

I should add here, yes he is a kobold, yes he is a small creature. Lysander may not take his threat seriously, and who'd blame him. But a Sense Motive will tell him that Krays believes he could dispatch him, if it came down to it. It's not bravado.

Lysander bows.

"I've had better days," she said, a bit evasively.

"And this ooze seemed awful hungry. It went after Amada and I pretty quick."

"Well, that can't be good. The oozes usually stay in the pipes where there is plenty of food..."

Not to sound snippy (I probably will), but the fact that the oozes are secret is rather important in defining Vakkler's character. He does his best to keep creatures like Keaton (and pretty much anybody)out of the sewers so nobody can discover his duplicity. So it kind of irritates me when you seem to take it for granted that not only does Keaton know, but that he throws it out in front of students without any sort of discretion. I apologize if I was unclear about the general knowledge of the oozes, so I'd like to repeat it more plainly: Unless there's a good reason, I'd prefer nobody know about the state of the sewers. If this is too much to hope for, then I'd appreciate at least some token secrecy in front of the student body.

Lysander bows.

Chuckles...

Asch starts to rush Keaton and skids to a stop as Amada and Ephebe run back into the gym. "Wait what happened?!?! Are you ok Amada?!" He asks completely forgetting about Keaton.

No, not snippy at all. My apologies. Everyone ignore that part of my post.

Agreed. Consider it retconned. :)

"Keaton, watch the class for a minute. I'm going to go box this thing up before any students get hurt."

She dashed out of the gym and started looking for the ooze.

Spin whispers to Asch…

She blinked. His telepathy was already improving. He hadn't even shouted at her that time.

Spin:

Asch whispers back.

He still keeps his eyes on the vampire watching just in case he does anything. He stands next to Amada with one arm around her waist.

He's not improving… he's embarrassed. ;p

Spin shrugs.

"Eyes!" Asch exclaims then looks around and drops his voice back down to a whisper.

Keaton waves when he notices the stare but otherwise does nothing but keep an eye on the class.

Agreed. Consider it retconned. :)

"Keaton, watch the class for a minute. I'm going to go box this thing up before any students get hurt."

She dashed out of the gym and started looking for the ooze.

Aananda finds the ooze 'chasing' after an amused dwarf student. The dwarf is moving comically slow to 'flee' the retarded slime.

Meanwhile, Jiminy sees another slime start to ooze out of the pipes. He seems to have slowed it/them down, but not stopped them.

Spin:

She took a deep breath. Okay, she could do this. Pretend like everything was normal. She was good at that. She'd had practice.

"So, I guess we're not going to the library after all. Might as well stay and finish class then," she said to Amada.

Did I use that word in the correct, non-offensive way? I'm not sure it's even usable anymore... :P

Aananda stomps on the floor to bring stones up around the creature and gestures, bringing her hand together as the stone flowed up and around the ooze encasing it completely.

"What were you thinking?" she snapped at the student. "What would you have done if that spell had worn off?! I suggest you think about that since I expect you to write me an essay on the subject tonight in detention!"

"Now go fetch Vakkler Relkav. Underground creatures are his specialty, he should know what to do with this one," she added, looking at the stone box uncertainly. What was she supposed to do with it now?

Jiminy screamed and jumped back as another caustic snotwad escaped from the pipes.

The student nods glumly and heads off.

Jiminy screamed and jumped back as another caustic snotwad escaped from the pipes.

This ooze notices Jiminy, and slides towards him.

She heard the scream and went running towards it. She found James trying to keep away from another hungry ooze, this one not moving slowly at all.

"James, get into the hall," she called out, waiting just a moment to let him go past before bringing up more stone to box the second ooze.

This one is moving at normal speed so it should probably get a reflex save to avoid being trapped.

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"The pipe! They're coming out of the pipe. I made it smaller, but all that did was slow them down. There's still more down there," Jiminy said from the hallway.

She nodded and used stone to cap off the open pipe.

Then she turned around and crossed her arms, looking at Jiminy.

"Do I want to know?" she asked drily.

Vakkler runs in. "What's going on? Sli--"
The gamekeeper freezes. "What...er...what's that?"

Jiminy blushed and rubbed the back of his neck self-consciously.

"I didn't do it!" he blurted out. "I mean, I was going to do something, but then there were goo balls coming out of the pipes, so I never actually did anything! This time," he added, sheepishly.

Vakkler clenches his fist, eye narrowed. "Y-your--ma'am, with all due respect, your son is a born liar. I think it quite likely that these oozes came from him."

"No, Vakkler, that you're wrong about. James is a born troublemaker, but he's painstakingly honest about it. Not a lot of point in trying to lie in a family of telepaths. I believe him. Although we're going to have a little talk later about what you were planning to do, James," she added darkly.

"Hey, I was just going to release some tiny ice elementals into the showers!" Jiminy said, alarmed at Vakkler's accusation. "But I only got as far as opening up the pipe!"

"Maybe, maybe not. Now, what's going on?"

"Oozes. I've got two of them boxed up," she said, pointing to the stone box in the hallway and the one in the bathroom, "and I've put a cap on the pipe they were climbing out of. There's still more down there. Not sure how we ended up with oozes in the school, but we obviously can't have them attacking the students. I'm...well, really I have no idea how to deal with these things. I've got them trapped, but now what?"

"Erm...perhaps put them back?"

"In the pipes? But they'll just get out again," she said doubtfully. "These things were acting really hungry. And we can't have them trying to eat the students."

"Well, gray oozes are ravenous creatures. But they seem to have stayed down there up until your son's little joke."

There is a sudden shrill shriek from the girls' room just a bit down the hall.
