Iron Gods - Strange Days in Numeria... (Inactive)

Game Master Luke_Parry

In a final furious display, Gregory drops the remaining giant, leaving Gregory in a room filled with the coppery smell of spilled blood, and the feculent aroma of perforated bowel.

Combat over.

Sadly, a thorough search of the room does not turn up anything of interest.

"Finally!"

With a sigh, Gregory pulls out one of his wands, and restores his shielding, before continuing on his merry way.

LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8.
LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4.
LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6.
LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7.
LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8.
LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2.
LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5.
LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4.

Going West, Old Man! ;-)

Gregory discovers several more empty rooms, before the corridor widens out into a chamber.

Old benches, many of them broken into fragments, adorn this room. To the south, a large metal cage sits atop a metal wedge, directly in front of which a beam of purple force disappears into the darkness.

At this point, Casandalee pipes up:

"This is the monorail that I spoke of."

In addition to this, the corridor continues to the west (although it has been partially obstructed by rubble), and double doors exit the chamber to the north.

Where to next?

"Let's finish clearing this level, first..."

So saying, Gregory heads through the double doors to the north.

The doors open to reveal a 10' wide, 20' long corridor, which ends in another set of double doors.

Beyond those, the corridor opens-out into a larger room.

Banks of monitors, blue schematics, and yellowing slips of parchment line the walls of this room. Enormous beds of straw and shredded fabric crowd the room’s northern half.

Seated at a make-shift are two men and a woman, playing cards.

As soon as the doors open, however, they jump to their feet and draw laser pistols to cover Gregory.

"Wait... He isn't a robot. Get the Captain," orders the brunette woman.

One of the men nods, and goes through the double doors to the west.

"Captain - there's an intruder, and it isn't a robot! Maybe the rescue detail finally came through...?"

Another voice, quieter and substantially more feminine, responds:

"Return to your post. I'll be along presently to take a look."

Shortly thereafter, the man returns, and is followed by another one of the giant, mutated humanoids, which is clearly acting as the bodyguard for the woman that follows him - a red-headed human female, wearing a heavy-weapon harness which assists her in holding a rather large laser combine.

"Hello. I'm Captain Sila. I don't recognise you, but I am not about to be choosy when it comes to aid. The fact that you are here suggests that you found a way in, which means that there should also be a way out, yes? We've been trapped here since everything went haywire a few days ago - automated defenses came on-line, we lost control of all of our robots, and most of our team was slaughtered. With dimensional travel out of the question, we've been stuck here whilst that annihilator robot guards the exit!"

Gregory chooses his words carefully, before responding.

"Yes, I came in through the front door. That Annihilator Robot is now just so much scrap metal..."

Sila goes a little green when Gregory casually mentions that he destroyed the Annihilator single-handedly.

"I... see. Well, that's good. Do you have an Access Card to get through the main access hatch?"

"Yes. What's in it for me if I let you out, though?"

Both men mutter darkly at Gregory's mercenary attitude.

"I knew he wasn't a League agent!"

Captain Sila, however, silences their grumbling with a single, withering look.

"He took out the Annihilator. Alone. Attacking him would be suicide. I, for one, want to get out of here alive, so I can report back to Captain Zaidow."

She then turns her attention back to Gregory.

"We can leave you what we have stockpiled in Central Engineering, our Batteries, and something even more valuable - the intel that we have on what is going on around here."

Gregory nods.

"I can work with that."

When she mentions reporting to Zaidow, Gregory smiles mirthlessly.

"That might be difficult. Both Zaidow and his second in command disappeared rather mysteriously a couple of days ago (leaving behind only some rather suspicious blood stains), and the chain of command is in chaos..."

Sila gives Gregory a long, hard look, but refrains from making a comment that could get her killed.

"Very well, in that case, I will report to whatever is left of the chain of command."

She then nods to her soldiers.

"Alright! Let's get moving!"

Once escorted to the entrance hanger, the League agents mutter quietly when they see the pile of occasionally sparking scrap that is all that is left of the Annihilator, but continue on their way, fanning out around the exit.

As soon as Gregory swipes the card to open the door, Captain Sila nods.

"A deal's a deal. You should be warned that I suspect a hostile AI has taken over control of most of the robots on this level. The westernmost (sealed off) segment of Engineering has also been flooded with lethal levels of radiation, currently held back by blast doors. I'd think twice before trying to open them. There's also another League outpost rumored to lie deeper inside this hulk, located in the Habitat Pod. Good Luck!"

She then follows her men out of the ship.

Once they are gone, Gregory makes sure the door is sealed behind them, and then moves to explore the chambers that the League agents so recently vacated.

A quick search of the main room where the commandos were playing cards reveals a small pile of Batteries (18 in total), and several crates containing Goo Tubes... although on closer inspection, most have already been used, and only 17 remain untouched.

The room to the west...

Desks and chairs have been pushed together into makeshift work spaces, forming a sort of scrounged-together laboratory. The scents of chemicals and ozone burn the air. An enormous shimmering pane of transparent energy forms the western wall, revealing the empty black cavern beyond.

There is about 40 pounds of supplies and components, worth a total of 4200gp. In addition, there is a perfectly spherical metal orb, fused to a tiny tripod, sitting on one of the benches.

Moving East...

The two smaller room are empty of anything of value (although one was clearly being used as a latrine by the commandos), but the room to the far east is much more interesting.

Flimsy half-walls separate workspaces fashioned into comfortable bunks. Layers of notes and schematics cover the walls, while a large metal pillar with slowly pulsating lights sits near a curved wall to the east. A smaller box-like device with glowing purple lights is attached to the pillar.

Where to now?

Knowledge(Engineering): 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (8) + 29 = 37.
Knowledge(Engineering): 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (15) + 29 = 44.

"Huh... These might have been useful earlier..."

Moving back across to the main corridor, Gregory explores the rooms to the west, beyond the pile of rubble.

The first chamber to the north...

This rubble-strewn laboratory is a mess of empty growth vats, shattered remnants of a matter printer, and other small-scale production equipment. It’s been thoroughly picked over.

The second chamber to the north...

As with the neighboring materials lab, this testing lab is choked with broken experiments and testing equipment.

Exploring the larger chamber to the south...

The scent of ozone fills the air. This room is a mass of glass cylinders and flickering machines. A massive, quietly humming ring fills a smaller chamber behind a glass barrier to the east.

As soon as Gregory steps into the room, however, an amorphous blob of violet energy coalesces from a slimy coating on the walls, floor and ceiling, rippling like a globe of floating liquid. Periodically, tendrils of questing blue light arc out from it, as it sends a questing pseudopod in Gregory's direction.

Initiative:
Gregory: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26.
: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1.

Round 1: Gregory(-), Plasma Ooze(-)

Knowledge(Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 36.

Oh, s+&@. This is going to be painful...

Gregory pounces forward!

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 3 = 41, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 20 + 3 = 27, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 3 = 12 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 20 + 3 = 24, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 20 + 3 = 24, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 3 = 32, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage.
Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.

Gregory Launches himself forward, but manages to do surprisingly little damage to the creature's spongy form, simply causing it to split, and then split again, forming two smaller oozes, and one larger ooze.

Each ooze then lashes out at Gregory...

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (13) + 24 = 37, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 6) + 19 = 34 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 3) = 7 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 2) = 19 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 1) + 19 = 31 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 6) = 15 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 1) = 11 Fire damage.
Grapple: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (6) + 36 = 42.
Constrict: 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 5) + 19 = 30 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 1) = 9 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 1) = 11 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 2) + 19 = 33 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 2) = 15 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 2, 6) = 18 Fire damage.

...and one of the smaller ones manages to latch onto Gregory, slowly sucking the energy out of his shielding.

Crap!

Clicking his heels together, Gregory frantically attempts to shred the ooze squeezing him.

Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 27, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 36, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 31, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 39, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 29, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.
Bite, Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 19 + 3 + 1 = 24, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage.
Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage.

Gregory rips into the one grappling him, causing it to split a further time, before he is able to spray cracking purple protoplasm across the floor, almost, but not quite, rendering that particular ooze inert.

The ooze grappling him continues to squeeze...

CMB: 1d20 + 36 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 36 + 5 = 61, for 8d6 + 38 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 6, 1, 6, 4, 4) + 38 = 72 damage, +8d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 6, 1, 6, 1, 2) = 27 Electricity damage, +8d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 3, 1, 5, 5, 4) = 30 Fire damage.

...and the other three attempt to slam.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (11) + 24 = 35, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 1, 2, 3) + 19 = 26 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 6) = 16 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 5) = 20 Fire damage.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (9) + 24 = 33, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 3) + 19 = 38 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 5) = 15 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 3) = 10 Fire damage.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (1) + 24 = 25, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 5) + 19 = 33 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 3) = 18 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 1) = 12 Fire damage.

Whilst the grappling ooze nearly shorts-out Gregory's shielding, luckily, none of the others manage to land a blow.

Round 3: Gregory(-133), Plasma Ooze(59, 10, 30, 120)

+++Error: Overload Threshold Reached. System Protection Protocols Engaged To Prevent Catastrophic Collapse. Biofeedback Initiated+++

Screaming in pain, Gregory frantically attempts to finish-off the smallest ooze.

Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 35, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 3 = 15 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 34, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 31, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 32, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 3 = 17 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 26, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage.
Bite, Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 19 + 3 + 1 = 24, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.

Gregory finally manages to rip the ooze from his smoking shielding, tramples it into an inert pile of goo.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 1) + 19 = 28 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 4) = 13 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 6) = 20 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 2, 5, 5) + 19 = 37 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 6) = 12 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 1) = 9 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (3) + 24 = 27, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 1) + 19 = 28 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 3) = 15 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 1) = 12 Fire damage.

Luckily, none of the other oozes manage to hit.

Round 4: Gregory(-133), Plasma Ooze(59, 30, 120)

Breathing a sigh of relief, Gregory continues to try and thin the herd.

Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 30, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 3 = 17 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 35, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 3 = 12 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 29, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 3 = 15 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 31, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 3 = 17 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 31, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage.
Bite, Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 3 + 1 = 29, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage.

Gregory rips into the smallest ooze, but it is not enough to render it inert.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (9) + 24 = 33, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 3) + 19 = 35 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 6) = 15 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4, 5) = 18 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (18) + 24 = 42, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 5) + 19 = 30 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 2) = 15 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 4) = 15 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 2) + 19 = 34 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 5, 6) = 18 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 6) = 17 Fire damage.

All three slam at him, but luckily, his wildly arcing shielding manages to hold them at bay.

Round 5: Gregory(-133), Plasma Ooze(59, 13, 120)

Still sweating, Gregory tries to finish-off the small ooze.

Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 27, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 3 = 12 damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 30, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 43, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 3 = 12 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 31, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 44, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage.
Bite, Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 19 + 3 + 1 = 27, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 3 = 20 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.
Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.

Gregory tears apart the smallest ooze, and then bites the smaller of the two remaining oozes, sadly causing it to split in two, as the pieces slide from his jaws.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 2) + 19 = 32 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 3) = 16 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 1) = 9 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 5) + 19 = 40 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 2) = 16 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 2) = 17 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (18) + 24 = 42, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 5, 1, 4) + 19 = 30 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 6, 3) = 16 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6, 4) = 14 Fire damage.

All three then attack, mindlessly, but fortunately, Gregory's shields hold them off.

Round 6: Gregory(-133), Plasma Ooze(27, 27, 120)

Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 39, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 3 = 18 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 25, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 32, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 39, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 40, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage.
Bite, Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 19 + 3 + 1 = 40, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 3 = 18 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.

Gregory does a small amount of damage to one of the oozes, but does not come to grips with it sufficiently to rend (only one claw beat its DR).

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 5) + 19 = 34 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 6) = 17 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 6) = 15 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (11) + 24 = 35, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 6, 5, 2) + 19 = 33 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 1) = 12 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 5) = 20 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 5) + 19 = 34 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 2) = 14 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 2) = 9 Fire damage.

Once again, all three slam uselessly at his shielding.

Round 7: Gregory(-133), Plasma Ooze(21, 27, 120)

Gregory does his best to rip into the oozes surrounding him.

Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 31, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 32, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 3 = 15 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 43, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 39, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 3 = 18 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 25, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage.
Bite, Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 19 + 3 + 1 = 42, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 3 = 21 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.

Once again, Gregory only manages to do a small amount of damage to the ooze's surprisingly resilient form.

The oozes respond by, well, attempting ooze all over him...

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (1) + 24 = 25, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 2) + 19 = 36 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 5) = 14 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 2, 5) = 15 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 5, 4, 5) + 19 = 36 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 4) = 12 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 3) = 11 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 5) + 19 = 36 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 4) = 13 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 6) = 18 Fire damage.

...but once again, his shields hold firm.

Round 8: Gregory(-133), Plasma Ooze(21, 18, 120)

Knowing that his luck cannot hold out forever, Gregory frantically rips into the oozes.

Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 35, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 3 = 15 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 43, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 32, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 3 = 12 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 29, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 33, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 3 = 15 damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage.
Bite, Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 3 + 1 = 29, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 3 = 20 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.

Once again, Gregory only manages to do a small amount of damage, peeling off a meager amount of protoplasm.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 6) + 19 = 31 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 2) = 9 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 3) = 14 Fire damage.
Grab: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (14) + 36 = 50.
Constrict: 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 2, 6, 3) + 19 = 34 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 6) = 16 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 3) = 9 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (13) + 24 = 37, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 2) + 19 = 28 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 3, 2) = 13 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 2) = 11 Fire damage.
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 5) + 19 = 31 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 3, 5) = 16 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 6) = 14 Fire damage.

Incredibly, the smallest ooze manages to worm its way into Gregory's shielding, draining away a large chunk of his life force.

Round 9: Gregory(-198), Plasma Ooze(12, 18, 120)

Realising that he is in trouble, Gregory frantically attempts to tear apart the small ooze.

Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 29, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 3 = 18 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 31, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 29, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 34, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 32, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage.
Bite, Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 19 + 3 + 1 = 37, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 3 = 18 damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage.

His shielding arcing wildly, Gregory tears apart the smallest ooze, before dealing a small amount of damage with a bite on the next ooze in line.

The two remaining oozes attempt to envelop him...

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 2, 1, 5) + 19 = 33 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 3) = 9 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 6, 4) = 13 Fire damage.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (3, 4, 5, 4) + 19 = 35 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 3) = 18 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 3) = 10 Fire damage.

...without any luck.

Round 10: Gregory(-198), Plasma Ooze(15, 120)

His dander well and truly up, Gregory flails frantically at the smaller ooze.

Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 26, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 33, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 35, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 42, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 3 = 12 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 36, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage.
Bite, Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 19 + 3 + 1 = 37, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage.

Gregory explodes the smaller ooze with two solid strikes.

He then claws at the single remaining ooze, which, predictably, causes it to split...

..several times.

The three resultant oozes all flail away at Gregory...

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 2) + 19 = 31 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 1) = 13 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 5) = 11 Fire damage.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 5) + 19 = 28 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 3) = 11 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 6, 2) = 18 Fire damage.

Grab: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (2) + 36 = 38.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 5, 4, 1) + 19 = 30 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3, 5) = 15 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 5, 6) = 19 Fire damage.

...and one actually manages to hit, although fortunately, it is not able to latch onto him.

Round 11: Gregory(-226), Plasma Ooze(24, 29, 58)

Stoically, Gregory continues to tear away at the oozes.

Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 38, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 26, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 3 = 18 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 36, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 3 = 17 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Acid damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 39, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage.
Claw, Haste: 1d20 + 20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 3 + 1 = 29, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage.
Bite, Haste: 1d20 + 19 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 3 + 1 = 29, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 3 = 17 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage.

Gregory rips open the smallest ooze, causing protoplasm to spray all over the place. He follows up on that success by lacerating the next ooze in line, and taking a bite out of it.

The remaining oozes slam at him...

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 2) + 19 = 29 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 5) = 13 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 4, 1) = 13 Fire damage.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (3) + 24 = 27, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 5) + 19 = 32 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 5) = 15 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 3) = 19 Fire damage.

...but once again, cannot penetrate his shielding (much to Gregory's relief!).

Round 12: Gregory(-226), Plasma Ooze(23, 58)

Having run out of pep in his step, Gregory fatalistically claws away at the smallest ooze.

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 3 = 42, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 3 = 33, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 3 = 15 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 3 = 32, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 3 = 29, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 3 = 17 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 19 + 3 = 35, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage.

Unfortunately for Gregory, the ooze's preternaturally resistant form absorbs most of the energy of his blows.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 6, 2, 6) + 19 = 34 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 5) = 15 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 1) = 9 Fire damage.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 1) + 19 = 28 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 2) = 17 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 4) = 12 Fire damage.

Luckily, their blows are barely less effective.

Round 13: Gregory(-226), Plasma Ooze(20, 58)

Determined not to end up as ooze-food, Gregory does his best to finish-off the smaller ooze.

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 20 + 3 = 27, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 20 + 3 = 31, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 3 = 41, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 3 = 17 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 20 + 3 = 29, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 19 + 3 = 24, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 3 = 20 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage.

Gregory rips into the smaller ooze, stretching its body with his claws, and then delivering a nasty bite, which chomps a hole straight through its main mass, sending the outer margins sinking to the ground in a faintly quivering mass.

The sole remaining ooze slams away at him...

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 2) + 19 = 29 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 1) = 14 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 3) = 17 Fire damage.

..but does not manage to penetrate Gregory's defenses.

Round 14: Gregory(-226), Plasma Ooze(58)

Gregory claws away at the remaining ooze, knowing that he is about to double his problems, but also knowing that this is the last time that he will have to worry about that particular problem...

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 3 = 26, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 3 = 15 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 3 = 41, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 3 = 19 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 20 + 3 = 36, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 3 = 33, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 3 = 18 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 3 = 28, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 3 = 20 damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16 +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage.

Gregory tears into the remaining ooze, and, as expected, causes it to split into two. However, he then rips into one of the resultant oozes, almost, but not quite, completely disrupting its form.

Mindlessly, the two oozes slam into him...

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (14) + 24 = 38, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 5) + 19 = 33 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 2, 3) = 15 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 4) = 16 Fire damage.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 3) + 19 = 34 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 6, 6) = 18 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 4) = 10 Fire damage.

...but neither manages to hit.

Round 15: Gregory(-226), Plasma Ooze(2, 27)

Gregory does his best to thin the herd, attempting to finish off the smaller of the two oozes.

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 20 + 3 = 39, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 3 = 41, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 3 = 12 damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 5 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 20 + 3 = 39, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 3 = 15 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 3 = 41, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 3 = 17 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 19 + 3 = 36, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 3 = 21 damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 +1d6 ⇒ 5 Electricity damage.

Gregory finishes off the (heavily injured) ooze, and then manages to chomp down on the remaining ooze, causing a small amount of damage.

Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28, for 4d6 + 19 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 4) + 19 = 37 damage, +4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 1) = 9 Electricity damage, +4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2, 1) = 12 Fire damage.

Fortunately, its response is laughably ineffective.

Round 16: Gregory(-226), Plasma Ooze(21)

Scenting victory, Gregory frantically attempts to finish-off the last ooze.

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 20 + 3 = 36, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 6 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 3 = 33, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 3 = 14 damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Electricity damage +1d6 ⇒ 3 Acid damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 20 + 3 = 24, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13 damage +1d6 ⇒ 1 Electricity damage.
Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 3 = 28, for 1d8 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 3 = 18 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.
Bite: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 19 + 3 = 23, for 1d6 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 3 = 16 damage +1d6 ⇒ 2 Electricity damage.

Rend (if applicable): 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 +1d6 ⇒ 4 Electricity damage.

Grabbing the ooze in his claws, Gregory rips it apart, spraying protoplasm across the room.

Combat over!

Apart from the veritable sea of protoplasm at his feet, the room is completely empty.

"That," Gregory says, weakly, "was a thoroughly disturbing encounter..."

He then settles down to healing himself, and restoring his shielding...

LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4.
LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5.
LRE: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5.

The corridor ends in another workshop.

A gleaming metal cylinder adorned with fins, tubes, and lights hangs by a dozen chains from the ceiling. Massive industrial supports, devices, and tools litter every working surface.

On the opposite side of the room, enormous, bulky blast doors, constructed of pure adamantine, block access to the area beyond.

Mechanically, Hardness 20, 120 hit points.

The card reader next to the door appears to be off-line, and on the monitor screen above it, the Androffan sign for severe radioactivity is flashing.

"Hmmm... Problematic, but not insurmountable."

Gregory fires-up his Laser Torch, and starts cutting his way through the door.
