Either they are not there or Lex is just not spotting them.

Brindel walks up the stairs. "Intriguing thought, Lex. Those jelly creatures must have gone somewhere." When he nears the top, he observes the construction of the ceiling/floor between the first and second levels.
Another question: Is there a strong odor that Brindel (and/or the others) can smell?

Brindel studies the transition from ceiling to floor and gauges that the distance is maybe about three feet which, if it were solid stone like the rest of this place appears to be, that seems about structurally correct. Of course without actually punching a hole through the floor, which does not appear would be all that easy, there is no way to tell for sure if there is any hollow space some how layered in between. Still he cannot imagine why any normal beings that would use doors and stairways would engineer hollow space in a stone floor/ceiling as that would structurally weaken the floor/ceiling and subsequently the tower as a whole as well.
Unless you have a keen sense of smell there is no noticeable odors beyond the smell that wafts in from the marsh

"Lex, the ceiling is so well-constructed I don't think there's space for a marsh dew drop. Those jelly creatures went elsewhere. Perhaps on the other side of the walls."

Well, then only one way to be sure...everyone stay near the staircase!
Lex looks around to make sure everyone is near the stairs, whether on the 1st floor or 2nd. And to see if Egret has put some light in the darkened area Lex designated.

Lex begins casting a "Careful" Fireball from the opposite wall ensuring that the fireball misses her friends in the process

doesn't the metamagic apply up to my Cha bonus? They should all be safe and I am out of range...no?Last edited March 31, 2021 11:06 pm

Okay well that helps a little bit -- but perhaps this will help you understand what might happen in future situations.BTW if Egret has the Druidism cantrip he can ascertain the measurements of a single room up to a certain limit in a single casting which just means big rooms just take multiple castings is all.

OOC:
Just a word of warning on a Fireball as well as other AoE effects that allow a Dexterity save because a Dexterity save means you gaining cover in some way to reduce the harm. However, there are circumstances where that is going to do one next to no good both for PCs and NPCs a like -- such as this situation -- had Lex not used the Careful meta-magic making a save versus that fireball under these circumstances would have been much more difficult than normal that is unless someone was standing near the second floor stairs going up and fled up those stairs. Or happened to be near the door to the outside and made it through there.So do not get me wrong Fireball is a nice spell it is just even more effective when it is cast into a completely empty room that does not fully contain the dimensions of that Fireball

Literal friendly fire. XDEveryone, may I ask you to slow down the posting rate a bit? Way too many things just happened in one day, and it's hard for me to react retroactively. (Also, Haelga didn't do anything in a while, maybe wait for her?)
"Was that necessary?" he eyes the alchemist warily, before approaching him again. "Why are you even trying to destroy it? The blob fled, I don't see what we get from pursuing it. And besides, we still have more floors to explore..." Egret nods towards the staircase, then promptly flinches as the movement causes some pain in the fresh burns. "...We should heal before continuing."
OOC:
My 1st level Cure Wounds is 13 per spell, I'll cast it once on myself, Haelga, Brindel and Lex. Shump is tanky, so I hope he doesn't need it too much (or Brindel can heal him).Last edited April 1, 2021 12:19 am

"Grafbak!" Brindel was caught off-guard by the flames that engulfed the room and staircase. Who set off that trap?, was his first thought. The dwarf glares at Lex after his admission, but says nothing to him directly because Egret's words were enough. He only adds another thought out loud, "This damn marsh is making everyone skittish."
Brindel thanks Egret for the healing and offers the same service to Shump, although their guide has preferred to do his own healing in the past.

When Brindel approaches Shump and asks if he needs healing Shump responds, "Shump good, thanks." He then walks over to Lex and gives him a thumbs up, "Roasted jellies, good." He does not even seem ruffled at all by the fact that he gotten singed a bit.

Uhhh...sorry everyone. I guess I don't know my own strength hehe, I won't do that inside again unless its an all out emergency whew they all lived
just out of curiosity did anyone see any yellow jelly as Shump likes to call it?

"Well, we can hope the flames fit in the same holes the jellies did in the ceiling. I suggest we move up to the top of this building." Brindel goes to the second level and continues up the staircase. He stops near the top to see if anything different is up on that level.

"If they were hiding somewhere in this room, I'm certain they are roasted by now," Egret shakes off some soot from his clothes and then follows Brindel, moving to stand at the feet of the staircase while the dwarf is inspecting the next floor. "But I have to say, it was an impressive show of power, Lex. Maybe you should try it the next time we are attacked by the undead." The druid frowns. "Or by whichever guardians of an unspecified door await us on the other side of the portal tomorrow."

Brindel suddenly realizes he is looking at the back of his hand instead of the next room up ;)Lex did use a Fireball on the Undead took out over half of them I think or maybe a 3rd but either way quite a few.
