Astra narrows her eyes at the spot on the ground that Meyanda shot at, and then slowly lifts her eyes at the purple haired woman. She seems to be considering whether to back away. If the party chooses to, she could probably be pulled away right now without too much resistance.
Chakos yells up to her, "We've no quarrel with you. Which way to that medical pond you mentioned?"
Astra will stand down, be quiet, and allow the others to defuse the situation. Although she is noticeably unhappy about being at such an important location and having to turn away.
"There is an elevator, a machine that moves up and down floors, near the entrances here. It is broken, but I'm sure you can think of a way. The elevator is near the thylacines, though I'm sure you've disposed of them, if you are here."
The large machine behind Meyanda glows flashes bright purple light.
Liz nods and guides Astra out. Let us head back and think of what to do next.
"The door, elevator thing. Maybe Khonir is in this water doctor place?"
Let us examine it then. Liz will head to the room indicated to find the elevator.
You head to the elevator room taking the pathway back the way you came in. You see a panel with Androffan words, especially one with red letters. Above you and below you are slightly exposed panels that blink every few seconds.
Astra...will not stay alone. :)
This..panel seems to be broken and we can't use this elevator, however that is done until it is repaired. We can just rappel down easily enough it seems.
Looking down the passageway is dark with small lights guiding the pathway. It is about 30 ft down to the next floor. Rubble and broken metal covers whatever else lurks beneath the elevator shaft.
Liz pulls out her soap on a rope. We can use this to climb down. Liz offers it to others to attack to whatever is handy.
"Let's knot that thing up first and make this easier."
You climb down the elevator shaft and find yourselves in a circular room, with debris at the base. Surrounding you are four sets of double doors, one set for each direction.
I follow Liz, looking around for any trouble.
Astra follows along as well, doing the same as Sneek.
You see a hallway with a set of doors to the north, a set of doors to the west and a single door to the east. It is eerily quiet. You also do not notice any footprints.
East!
"It could take weeks to explore this whole place!"
You enter a room filled with chairs, tables and broken machinery. On the eastern wall is a machine filled with soft metal tubes, about 30 of them. There is also a single door on the southern wall of the room.
Looking at all the tubes, for some reason the word 'Internet' enters Liz's mind. She examines the strange machine
Liz pushes a few buttons. I believe this machine will produce these tubes after operating these buttons. Liz sniffs the paste. I don't smell a thing and don't know what they could be.
Astra will examine the paste that Elizabeth found.
Astra tastes a bit of the paste from a tube and tastes sour, rotten raspberry tart. She grimaces from the flavor.
Let us take these with us for later examination. Liz puts the tubes into a sack.
Let us head back into the corridor and try the west door.
You enter the door to the west of the last hallway.
This sprawling chamber contains many desks, tables, and chairs arrayed before a number of broken pieces of equipment and machinery. The dried residue of liquids spilled from smashed containers creates a heavy stench in the air, and pieces of glass litter the floor.
Two tiny mounds of red liquid begin to shamble towards you.
1. Everyone
2. Blood Ooze
3. Sneek
I suppose I'll charge in and thump it.
Chakos charges to the nearest ooze and slashes through its body with his greataxe. The ooze jiggles and recombines the two halves.
"Try not to get any of them on you -- they are acidic and highly disease ridden!" Astra warns as she approaches one of the creatures, and tries to swing her zapper wand at the same one that Chakos hit.
Astra strikes at the boilborn and hits it with her zapper wand. A small burst of electricity shoots out of the tip and shocks the red blob.
HP 16/16
AC 11/11/10
Effects: Mage
Hand of Apprentice:7/7
Try to stay at range!
Liz zaps the wounded one with a jolt of eletricity
Liz fires her magic at the ooze. Her hands glow with light and a jolt of electricity strikes the red blood creature in an instant.
The close blob tries to move into Astra's space.
The other boilborn moves closer to Astra. It is 10 feet away.
My AOO
My regular attack. (On the second one as hopefully we've killed the first)
Crit confirm
If the boilborn that tried to move into Astra's square is still alive, her second round attack will be against it. Otherwise, she'll try to attack the remaining one.
Chakos chops into the boilborn. It squirms beneath the greataxe before it explodes, spreading acid and disease in a ten foot radius.
Astra and Chakos smack and slash into the second blob, and again, it wiggles its bloody body before exploding outward.
Liz is very startled at the explosion of gunk. If either of you have caught something, we best go see a healer.
Astra will try to examine herself and Chakos for any obvious wounds that might have gotten infected by the boilborns' leprosy. "These creatures frequently carry many sorts of different diseases, you'd better let me look you over just in case." She makes sure to wipe off any gunk that might have gotten onto any party members, and will try to clean the splattered areas with any alcohols or clean water that we might be carrying.

So no disease for me, and I take 5+6=11DMG.
CLW:
And with that, I am out of spells I believe.
"If anyone is able to provide another round of healing, I can Life Link Astra's damage to me first, and you hit me with the healing."
Unfortunately, I have no healing items. Liz checks out the room for anything interesting.
Astra cleans up any acid and disease left over from Chakos and herself.
Liz checks the room for anything useful. It seems that it has already been ransacked, its contents broken and spilled on the floor. You believe it was from the ratfolk and orcs from earlier. Elizabeth finds a battery buried beneath some of the mess.
There are no other doors besides the one you entered from.
"Healing is not a problem", Astra says and treats Chakos to a healing spell upon request once he's Life Linked to her first. After that, she will also make a quick search of the room.
