"Pure prejudice and a lack of knowledge, Aggrah. I mean, there are plenty of nice women who live in giant candy houses in haunted forests that don't eat children for their extended lifespan. I'm sure there's at least one I heard about."
Bradan grins at the witch as he unslings his bow and readies an arrow along the string.
Poke Poke and Dr Tes break off from the main group as they begin to scout ahead.
Suddenly the two sneaks disappear under a giant cypress tree.
Ulfrec grumbles, albeit quietly...
Calain continues to follow the Goblin, merely offering at nod to acknowledge the Goblin potentially saved his heavy armored butt from a significant hazard of the quicksand. He did shake away the notion the goblin was being altruistic however, since scouting WAS the creatures job.
Dr Tes and Poke get themselves under a giant cypress and vanish from their comrades view. Under the cypress the two of you have good view of the water you need to cross and the cottage on the other side. the water itself has an eerily thing mist clinging just above its surface.
Calian you let the two sneak scout ahead what you figure is 30 feet. They were heading towards a large Cypress tree but you lost sight of the sneaks.
Beorn fidgets as he waits for them to come back.
After a few rounds Poke and Dr Tes are in position under a giant Cypress tree and from that position they look at the grounds.
Poke poke gets distracted by the stagnant air. Meanwhile, Dr Tes notices a single eye blink as a nearly transparent blob clings to a branch directly overhead. It then releases it's self.
Calain you are still 15 feet behind the two scouts when you finally notice they have stopped to view the surroundings.
the nearly transparent blob drops on Poke Poke's scalp.

Dr. Tes you do get an AOO on the creature as it falls through the air since you noticed it.

I miss typed the attack roll. It get a damage plus paralysis.
He slimed Poke!
Poke Poke daftly dodges the slime and stabs at it with his daggers
Tes whiffs at the thing as it falls, but once it's landed he gets a good bop in.
Poke and Dr Tes fight their first ooze and they quickly realize that this creature is an amorphous creature. Thus it is not subject to critical hits or flanking. it does not take additional damage from precision-based attacks, such as sneak attack.
The two sneaks blink in awe as they realize they may need to muscle their way through this combat, rather than finesse strike it.
Calain CHARGES forward, beginning with the Lucerne hammer behind his back and moves up to stand back 5ft away from Poke poke and attempts to attack the blob with all his might and wanting to end the fight quickly smashing down hard with the heavy weapon.
Rargghh!
Calain rushes by ROAAAAAAAAAARing and smashes down on the nearly transparent form.
OOZE
The ooze strikes at Dr. Tes

Bradan, Aggrah, Beorn, and Ulfrec you see Calain sprinting and then hear him roaring while he disappears under a huge Cypress tree. What are you going to do?

BEORN CHARGES!!!!
Aggrah will run forward and see what the heck is going on
Ulfrec and Geri bring up the rear, keeping an eye out.
Bradan moves to the east and points his nocked towards the oozed rogues.
"What the heck is that thing? Its like moving snot covering you. I dont wanna shoot and hit one of you guys. "
He readies to fire if he gets a clean shot.
Unsure where to poke this thing for the most damage Poke Poke stabs at it again
Snot? Leave it to a goblin to have new life crawl from their nose!
Poke Poke stabs at the ooze and hits it twice. It clings to the goblins blade like snot running out of goblin runts nostrils. It is still alive.
Aggrah advances just far enough to get line of sight on the ooze (dm's choice) and then hits it with an evil eye dc17 (-2 to hit)

Aggrah attempts her evil attempting to creep a bit of doubt into it's mind, but she soon learns that it has absolutely no effect on the mindless blob.
Calain continues his own assault on the blood aiming for a portion of the blob clinging to the side of the Goblin and attempting to cleave it off, coming precariously close to Poke Poke.
Pull from it's grasp!
Ulfrec attempts to get a good look and identify the thing...
With Calian last attack the snotty blob pops and dies. It leaves the goblin and Dr Tes gooey from it's suction like attacks. Calain and the two sneaks each take 2 HPs of acid damage.
No time for a facial, ladies...
Though, if I ever survive this nightmare... could harvest these critters and use them to remove warts, smooth calloused feet and the like.
Remember that, Geri.
Just what was that thing?
Calain dismisses his rage and leans over his Lucerne Hammer as he catches his breath.
That's one I no longer owe you Goblin. Try to avoid snot piles in future
The blob does look like gooey snot slime.
Now that the group is under the tree you get a better look at the sluggish streams, and stagnant pond emitting foul odors surrounding the oddly shaped structure crudely built from bundled branches, thatch, and mud. the puffs of smoke being belched from two stone chimneys has increased as if fresh wood or coals have been placed in the chimneys. the ground between the sluggish streams and the door have a few low bushes and tumble weeds that could be used as partial cover as you approach the building.
You boat and canoe will work to get across the waters or you could swim it.
I don't suppose our fine scouts are up for another mission?
"Probably best if we stay relatively close together. If Calain hadn't been there, PokePoke and the good doctor could have been eaten by snot slime. I'd say we take the boats over and get a look."
Very well, some more boat travel!
Calain dismisses his rage and leans over his Lucerne Hammer as he catches his breath.
That's one I no longer owe you Goblin. Try to avoid snot piles in future
"Poke Poke had it just fine. Now you have alerted everyone to our presence. Quite is the whole point of sneaking you oaf."
"Probably best if we stay relatively close together. If Calain hadn't been there, PokePoke and the good doctor could have been eaten by snot slime. I'd say we take the boats over and get a look."
Poke Poke rolls his eyes at the statements from the two humans.
