Kicsit's ball of flame rolls over the statue, burning what's left and brining quiet to the room!
"Well done, my friends. Slime and a Golem was not a pleasant combination."
Ferrun picks at his fur and cleans himself and then proceeds to look around the room for anything of interest or note.
Ferrun looks around. The map itself is quite interesting. The map clearly indicates the city of Kibwe and a ruined city named "Holy Xatramba", which is approximately 140 miles away. An old road connecting the two cities is marked on the map. Underneath the map Ferrun finds an interesting feather that Kicsit sees is magical.
”It looks like we are too late for the entire bird, but here’s a feather left behind. This looks interesting too. This place, Holy Xatramba, could be a lead to follow. It looks a fair ways from here, but may lead to something interesting.”
The party takes a moment to let the garrulous goblin tend to everyone's wounds.
Where to?
Pazúr shakes his head, almost hissing in at how little he contributed to the battle with the golem and its slime friend. "Nice work, everyone," he says, only slightly begrudgingly, though he nods in genuine gratitude as Heyou! heals his painful wounds.
Once fully healed, he moves to stand by the double doors, ready to help out if needed, and hoping to make a better showing of it this time.
"We got plenty of rooms to investigate here, first, Ferrun!"
”Quite true, my friend. Let’s see if this place holds any more secrets.”
Ferrun checks out the north eastern door and listens carefully to see if he can hear anything beyond it. He looks carefully to see if the door is trapped.
”Heyou, straight through the front door or do you prefer the side door?”
Heyou! looks to the side doors as Ferrun checks the northern door. Neither door betrays any sounds on the other side, but the northern door is solidly locked.
"Heyou, are you any good with locks? I'm not exactly a cat burglar."
Heyou! really struggles with opening the door gracefully.
Yeah, you've got half the tumblers
With only one pick left in his set, Heyou! manages to get the door unlocked!
"I wouldn't say I'm big and strong, but I'm quick enough to avoid most trouble - unless it's a wooden man tearing me to bits, I guess," Pazúr observes as he lines up near the now-unlocked door. Once everyone is in position, he opens the door!
Ferrun stands ready to pounce!
This office is elegantly appointed, with a large rosewood desk and a leather chair. A strange, greasy fog surrounds the desk in thin wisps. A wide bookshelf stands against the west wall, next to the door in which you stand.
Ferrun walks over and takes a seat in the leather chair and placed his feet up on the rosewood desk to relax. As he sits, he looks around to see if he gains any insight by sitting in the chair.
"Whomever works in this office seems to enjoy the creature comforts."
After his relaxing moment, he begins looking around to see where the wisps of fog are coming from.

"Hey! This looks interesting. I'll bet there is all sorts of ledgers and manifests and maps and stuff here! We can find where to go!"
Heyou starts looking at the books on the bookshelf. "What? You think i am one of those goblins that thinks that reading will cause you to lose your soul?
"Naw... its writing that does that!" he says with a wink.
Ferrun sits in the chair, and immediately the smoke from below the desk begins to billow! Whoever used to sit in that chair is now a smoking, flaming ooze! Ferrun, the party scout, gives a yelp, and it's enough to alert some of the party before the ooze can act!

Holton: Go
Kicsit: Go

Ooze: TBD
Chivivit: TBD
Ferrun: TBD
Heyou!
Wishing that he'd one day find a foe who would fall for his clever feints and jukes, Pazúr sighs, then slashes with his claws once, then again, before raising his shield to defend against whatever strange attack the ooze is about to unleash!
Sir Holton takes an awkward swing, trying to hit the ooze under the desk. Thankfully, oozes are easy to hit! Unfortunately, it's not a hard blow.
Pazúr Sixclaw easily slashes once, but the ooze instnatly heals the slash, so on his follow up, he drills it with a fist and does some damage.
Round 1:
Holton: Hit
Kicsit: Go
Pazur: Hit
Ooze: TBD

Heyou!

The missiles work like a charm, blasting away parts of the ooze!
The ooze begins to smoke, really smoke. It chokes the air around you.
It oozes out from under the desk to try and take out as many of you as possible:

"Gack! *COUGH* COUGH*"
Heyou! is definitely affected by the nasty smoke, so moves around so that he is out of it. "*COUGH* SORRY! ME HEAL YOU LATER! *COUGH*" he bellows through his coughing, as he prepares to throw a bomb.
He then draws his sling, remembering that oozes often do naughty things when cut with a knife.
Ferrun step forward and thrashes the ooze with his warhammer!
"Have you ever seen so much slime in all your life?!"
"Way, way too much slime in this town," Pazúr agrees, before succumbing to a powerful fit of hacking and coughing, which makes him sound like he's struggling to produce a particularly virulent hairball. Still frustrated, he steps closer to the ooze and punches it!
Heyou! hits the ooze with a bomb cleanly, but the fire seems to have no effect whatsoever! Ferrun manages a light hit while Pazur scores two quick punches.
The ooze looks beat up a bit as parts no longer move with the same alacrity, but it's clearly got a long way to go!

Chivivit scrambles back before launching a rock at the ooze.
Chivivit can't find a rock, so he hurls a mundane piece of art off the table. It slams into the ooze with a puff of smoke, cooling the ooze a bit.
Kicsit hurls another item and hits it even harder. He knows this to be a Fuming Sludge. The slurry from alchemical experiments is often as flammable as it is toxic. In especially volatile cases, a fuming sludge can form from ignited pools of unstable alchemical runoff. He can tell it's near death, but it's dangerous up until then. The smoldering haze won't go away until it's destroyed.
The ooze lashes out at Sir Holton:
MISS

It then tries to grab him:
FAIL

Ferrun brings his warhammer down to bear upon the ooze.
"I don't know about you, my friends, but there is something satisfying about swinging a hammer and making that splat sound."
Ferrun scores but a single hit in the fumes, but it's a good one!

"That's because you're not getting this hot, sticky goo all over your paws, Ferrun," Pazúr responds grimly, as he continues to pound the ooze with his massive paws.
Pazúr slams his fists into the ooze. the creature is barely holding it together as the party gangs up.

Heyou! lobs a pair of antithetical bombs on the ooze! the cold immediately cools it down, so much so that it's utterly extinguished!
”Well done, my friends! Are any of you hurt?” Ferrun looks around protectively, making sure that the party is indeed safe. He continues looking for clues throughout the room.
