Sindelle smiles seeing the others handling this fight so well. She's heard from cleric friends of hers that the best battles are the ones where her talents won't even be needed. At the risk of getting bored though she moves around and behind her allies to just behind Shayna to touch her the back with her wand near the scratch she's suffered.

Many thanks, Sindelle... Shayna says to the aasimar before shifting her position and slashing away at the automaton.

Fifi tries to aid, but can't.
Taariik, you forgot to move and bless. I'm botting you to a place with no cover.
Sindelle touches Shayna, in a good way.
Shayna slashes at the robot with her special 1d9 weapon, chipping away at it. I'm interpreting it as a 4.

Hskoro hit the robot with his warhammer, but it doesn't seem to hurt the robot at all.

Knowing Shayna can't sidestep along, Fifi bites the bullet and opens her guard against the robot, in an effort to distract it and divide its attention.
(Fifi will move (not 5-foot step) to her current position, provoking from the robot)
She then yells, flustered-"Gru'Gar! Get him!"-as she tries to aid the half-orc's attack by snagging one of the robotic limbs with her shield. Her flushed face easily communicates she got caught off-guard by Taarlik's comment, and is trying to play hard to get.

Finally!
Gru'Gar lines his axe up with one of the previous nicks in the robot's hardened shell. With a mighty swing, he brings his axe straight through the armor and through the robot's power source.

I'm moving you guys into the Blue rectangle, because there's no other place to go. There's no treasure in this area.
A gigantic reptilian beast is on display in the center of this expansive gallery, ferociously leering over the collection of taxidermied animals and monsters. Many exhibits have been smashed or torn apart, scattering limbs and sawdust across the basalt floor.
A small door at the southern end of the room is labeled “Private Events Only.”
As you walk in, three oozes seep from the exhibits, brought back to life by some mysterious force. Quivering piles of tumorous flesh, these creatures leave a trail of slime as they hungrily search for sustenance.

Fifi sees her path to a charge obstructed, and takes the initiative to move forward towards the blue ooze. She yells-"I'll take this one on!"-as she raises her shield, ready to deflect any sudden attacks.

Fifi runs up to one of the oozes, an acid flash whizzing by her head and preparing the way.
Sindelle, apologies. Usually I have a little blurb asking players to take care of healing amongst themselves but I forgot.

Fifi goes on the offensive, grabbing her scimitar tightly as it glows red-hot. She sidesteps to the right and slashes upwards in a crescent-like pattern. Hoping her foes' defenses are subpar, she places careful attention on her own defense-"Once I've dealt with this one, I'll flank the other one!"

On the contrary, Hskoro lets everyone know that piercing and slashing damage actually cause it to regenerate, and fire and acid will stop the regeneration!

(Would doing slashing and fire damage in one attack work against or for the regeneration?)

Taariik moves forward.
GM, my icon was between spaces so I don’t know if I needed 4 or 5 squares where the latter would prevent me from attacking.

I'm ruling 'chaotic good' on both of these - it's the one that works in the player's favor. The flame envelops Fifi's blade so it takes fire damage a millisecond before it takes slashing damage; Taariik was placed (or bumped to) the closer space.

Holding his greataxe in hand, Gru'Gar frowns finding out that the creature will heal if he strikes it. So he pulls his little tree branch and swings the tree branch at the slime, to smash it on the ground.

Hskoro bashes Yellow. Fifi slashes Blue, her flaming scimitar leaving a chasm that does not heal. Taariik slashes Red, but its wound starts closing up almost immediately. It also seems to get a little bigger. Gru'Gar bashes Yellow.
Yellow responds by growing a psudopod and swinging at 1d3 ⇒ 1 Hskoro.

Fifi steps right through the gap between the yellow and blue oozes, trying to distract them and divide their attention. Still, her offensive changes to the yellow one, as she slashes once again!
"The Everlight's fire compels you to step down. Let her flames calm these things!"-as she opens a window with her shield and goes for another slash. Her blade leaves no open wound, but rather a burnt scar aimed to tire out the creature rather than kill it.

GM Watery Soup |

To be clear, any fire or acid stops the regeneration permanently, including the 1 point from Fifi's sword. So if Gru'Gar and Shayna want to return to their favored weapons, it's totally fine. As a matter of fact, I recommend that you not use any more acid flasks or alchemists fires on these guys... *ominous music*
