Tenuki reloads and shoots at Blue (if it's not already down, Green if it is).

Professor Bun Bun begins to lecture about small unit tactics used in the latter stages of the Five Kings Wars. He locates another piece of debris to hurl at the remaining monster.

Then he moves.

Norg keeps his shield up and unleashes a sonic cacophony of sound at the remaining ooze. 15ft cone, 4 sonic damage, basic Fort save DC17

◆ raise shield ◆◆Haunting Hymn

Yellow puddle Fort save DC 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Professor Bun Bun Inspires everyone with his thrilling?? lecture on how the Dwarves won the day so long ago. Then he hits the puddle with a rock.

Lendaru moves forward and drives his Pick into the creature? before moving back out of harm's way.

Norg emits some very strange sounds that seems to damage the puddle, even though the puddle manages to avoid the worst of the damage. Maybe because it doesn't have any organs to vibrate?

Basag completely destroys the remains of the Ooze before it can attack,

Once again, you are out of combat.

You can see a large table in the room the last two oozes came out of.

Tenuki heads that direction to see what might be found.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Another smoke goes up to the ceiling.

Well, I love when a plan is going smoothly. Nobody's hurt? Let's explore this room now.

And the dwarf reloads before to go next to the new room.

The inventor moves right into the room.

we didn't get a chance to refocus before the last fight, Can we now?

"Well, maybe they won't be as much trouble as I feared."

It is up to you what you want to try to do.

A massive table and eight chairs fill the center of this room. Empty shelves line the walls, and soggy carpets cover much of the floor.

The carpets squelch as you step on them, but like the rest of the place, they lack any sign of mold or rot.

There are five doors out of this room.

Constant whimpering and gurgling penetrate the middle door on the north wall (map right)

The dwarf speaks with his cigar in the mouth: Well let's see what is lurking there. Are you ready?

And he opens the door.

Dran'Tilt sees:

Overgrown trees and bushes stand in this roofless, muddy courtyard. Mud and slime cake the walls and drip from the eaves onto the soaked ground.

You also see a creature sitting in a pool of mud in the far corner of the courtyard.

Token on the map, larger picture on slide 6

The dwarf says to the creature, with his cigar in the mouth.

You there. Yes you. Come down here. So we can talk a little bit. Well if the talkative ones would dare to come to see you.

Then to the others: Hey, come here. There is a creature in a pool of mud. Perhaps for a wrestling game. Not for me anyway.

The inventor goes to Dran'Tilt and looks at the creature.

Tenuki comes up behind the folks in the door and tries to identify the creature.

Occultism, Arcana, Society +5; Religion +4

Basag follows the others behind them to see what they found. ”What have you found there?”

The creature moves toward you, alternating between huffily pushing out his chest and shuffling looking at his feet.

When he gets closer, he nervously bows and says

I, I, I am Nazraz, Prime Assistant to the Egregiously Ge, Ge, Generous Zarzan, and I am s s slowly working on my my most mmmarvelous plan to starve the oozes out. It is likely to take years, even decades, but I I I have what it takes to get the job done.

Firget the oozes. They are done. So consider your job as over. We were sent that for.

A new circle of smoke moves up to the ceiling.

Professor Bun Bun nods in agreement.

"Indeed my friend. Thothe awful ootheth are defeated and your obligation in that regard ith no more. Your employer awaitth your thafe return."

Yo, yo, You killed the oozes? Thanks, but I, I had best stay here and make sure more oozes do not occupy this p p place again. A few months, perhaps another year?

Clarification: Part of the mission is to get the Mephit to leave as well. To convince Nazraz to abandon his plan and clear out, you must succeed at a Diplomacy check to Request, a Intimidation check to Coerce, or a Deception check to draw him out with a convincing Lie. Other skills may also be used, as long as you provide a justification for the skill.

The inventor lets others convince the mephit.

Norg rejoins the others after resting.

"Nazraz, You've done excellent work here. Starving the oozes made it much easier to handle them. I believe that the terms of your service contract with Zarzan were to clear out the oozes and then immediately vacate the area."

deception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Tenuki nods at Norg's comment and smiles gently at the mephit.

"You were incredibly brave to stay here and come up with your clever plan. But since the oozes are no more, you have completed your quest."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

The dwarf continues to smoke his cigar listening to the ones who know how to talk.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

"Yeth. Now that the ootheth have been dirhpatched it its time to return to your employer. He ith rather concerned for your thafety."

diplomacy hero point reroll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Basag speaks as well. ”Ey, your job is done here. Join us and get back to your master. I don’t think he is angry at you if it took you ages to clean this mess, if that’s what you think.”

Diplomacy check: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Norg and Tenuki manage to convince the ooze mephit to return with the group. Professor Bun Bun almost irritates it into fighting, but the discussion ends peacefully.

You investigate the rest of the mansion, finding nothing but some water and slime. The building is in remarkably good shape for its age.

When you return, you find Zarzan waiting at the Rusty Anchor.
Thank you for dispatching the oozes so promptly. What kind of shape is the building in?

Thanks to all for playing. I will be reporting soon, and you should get the chronicle sheets in your email shortly.

Feel free to finish out roleplay if you like. I will close the thread in a couple of days.

"Well it'th a bit wet and thlimey but it'th in remarkably good shape for it'th age."

"Professor Bun Bun here is right. We found a trap at the door, this guy fell into it. Haha!" Basag adds to what the bard has said. "They were all over the place but we've taken care of it. Just need some cleanin' of the acrid smell and all."

Well enter, kill the oozes, make the mephit go away… I love when a plan goes smoothly.

And a circle of smoke goes up and up before to disappear simply.

He’s in good shape for his age.

Norg seems in reasonably good spirits despite smelling terribly. "All told things went pretty smoothly. I was glad to meet all of you. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going for a long swim in the bay."

Ah ah ah, going on holiday, ah ah ah...

And a final circlet of smoke goes up, up, up, before the dwarf himself isn't standing anymore where he was standing.
