Sure you can, so long as it isn't a rotary phone. I would suggest downloading the Google Slides app (for free) otherwise most phones will only allow you to look at the pretty maps--except the rotary ones that is.

Smiler charges in, rolling out of the way when the dragon's head turns to snap at him.
Eerily the mannequin makes no sound as it attacks other than its creaking, somewhat awkward movement. Nevertheless its attacks become faster and more precise.
goat's gore v Durvak (v prone):1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19damage:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9Hit
Meanwhile, the fungus thing moves over to the doorway clogging the portal with its strange illusion-shrouded, five-legged, tendril flailing arms. Images of the comfort food favored by the party members blink into and out of existence around it. There are a lot of visions of bunches of banana's, and termites for some reason.

Monterey, Smiler, and Banon combine to finally decapitate their foe. Leaking stuffing from several large gashes the thing topples over. A black steam hisses out from its carcass, slithers through the air into the southern storage room (Room #3 by its sign), and disappears between the boxes at the south end of the room.
END COMBAT VICTORY!

After a thorough search of the dusty room, Theodic, Durvak, and Volar discover a stuffed camel whose nameplate reads: Ungrateful Son-In-Law of a Jackal.

Monterey huffs and puffs. "No... none yet. We still haven't explored everything yet though. Think we need to go... deeper."*Dramatic Music* Dun dun dun...
Snagging the pack back from Theodic, he dumps the contents on the floor. Looking through the stuff, he frowns. "No. No research gal in dere....ya'know watt? Summa dis stuffs maybe magicified! Any o yall know 'em?"
Walking over to the for door, he opens it and sticks his head out. "Aye! We's still wooken fer ya gal." Quickly stepping back in and shutting the door, he starts scratching his chin. "We tinks we messed sumtin."
I literally can't figure out what any of them are.

Plans? I've heard healing (Monterey implied he would like some), going 'deeper' (geographically or philosophically?), looking in on the fungus room again, and--I suppose as a sort of last resort--talking to Nigel.
Seems a few of you could use some healing. Will Channel
Looking around the group, he nods to Montereys acceptance. Seeing more than a few bumps and bruises, he turns to show his birthmark. The fist glows brightly and....a haze sputters out of it. Rubbing his face, the dwarf frowns. "Sowy, muss be spent. Give time ter charge it. Wes been callin on Ole Rori a bit."
Reaching out, he swings the stick for Monterey's face and turns to smiler, offering a gentle poke.
"Aye, tis betta." Making his way back to the door, he screams "KNEE-JELL! YAS GOT 'EM SECREETS IN WALL DOWN A 'ERE?"
Channel to Heal (Hold Hands for Irori now):2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2 Really?!
Eyes lighting up with the man's excitement, the dwarves face falls when he gives the answer. "Hmmm..." Looking around again, a candle begins to flicker above his head.
The man rushes towards the new flower-power friend. "You! Thinky plant...Ya were in dere. Dere be a gal unda dat planty things?"
In response to Durvak's question, the thing hesitates and then images of an empty bottle, a broken egg shell, complicated lingerie, and a gnomish steam powered tuba encircle the fungal creature.

Meanwhile at the doorway to the frigid fungal room the party considers its options.
Watching the images float about, Durvak scratches his chin. Desperately, the dwarf tries to put it all together. Snapping his fingers, he exclaims "Lass musta ate a poisoned egg from spe-see-man botta. Turned 'er to gnomy machine!"
Staring deep into the fungus encrusted room, he tries to spot the tuba in the debris. "Me no see 'er."
Glancing towards the cold section of room, he cautiously makes his way around the upper edge of the room. "Lassy, cum out were-eva's ya be!"

The party notices that the fungus has grown a bit since the last time they were here only minutes before. The fungus squashed by their feet shows signs of new growth, softening the tracks. The remains of the security guard and the space about the door also show signs of new growth.
Durvak's call elicits no response. His boots mash toadstools as he moves forward.
"Me no es gud in salads...Me know sumtimes it try eat Durvak..." replies to dwarf. Pausing a moment, he waits. "Me path no make me cold or 'splode. Yous come dis way." He advises, pointing to his current location.
Tugging a long pole from his pack, he begins tapping the ground as he walks. "Ne'er 'urts ter be safesh" Regularly tapping the patches of fungus ahead of him, he meanders around the room a bit more. "Lassie! Were ya be na-ow?"
As he finishes his loop, he looks southward with concern. "Me tinks bout ter get loud an cold...Any yas able ter quiet shroomy? Me cud eat it, but me tummy screamin is no gud eater..."

Technically...I have K (All) 22...if I can touch it. :-P
Glancing back towards the group hiding in the safety of the other room, Durvak shrugs. "Mayhaps. Iffen wes dun need ter kill it, we shud not. Is only doin what tinks must to protect self. No is harmen us much."
Pausing as he thinks back to the purpose of their mission, he frowns. "Any ya see da water closet? Me brake-fast no settlen well an mayhaps Ms Imrizade be taken a tinkle?"
Each time I take damage from the brown mold, I'll stop and use my CLW Wand. Assuming no one has a better idea, Durvak will proceed to follow the dotted blue line looking for any sign missing woman/water closet/hidden doors/etc (+2 stonework).

I'm going to stop Durvak about halfway. Lemme know if you want to continue on his path.
Durvak passes the patch of mold and steps out into a cluster of fungus that is both thick and slippery in southeast corner of the room.
Suddenly the tall fungal stalk in the next aisle begins to blare again cutting off aural and verbal communication. Durvak moves along southern wall past the noisy stalk along the scroll now covered in musty glowing mold. Tripping over a bundle of slimy toadstools he scraps off a layer of fungus to find a slight difference in the stonework beneath his feet. Following the border, he determines that there is a large hidden trapdoor beneath the mat of slimy fungus, in fact the mold seems to be growing up from below.
