Tunnels

Raggy will stand at the six crossbow in hand with Ro directly in front of him.

Is it gone? Can we see what fell off it?

The translucent mass, a slime or ooze of some sort?, It's slowly making its way back up the tunnel. The section cut off by the water stream has filled the bottom of the depression with a brackish fluid

OOC:
OK, to be clear, the ... whatever is still heading back up the tube even after being hit by the spirit?

Assuming so ...
Skeeve whispers, "Uh, guys, if it is leaving us alone and retreating without actually seeing how much of a threat we are, we should probably just let it go and avoid this cavern. Especially since it it isn't even retaliating from the spirit's attack."
OOC:
If my assumption is wrong, then just delete this post and I'll try again.

"Aye. Not sure if Valpip has got anything that'll work on that thing. Keepin' it sealed into its tunnel, that is. Then again, this deep down, he might not be bothered unless it's an immediate threat to the surface."

Skeeve says to Blornvid, "Hey! Remember that ooze/elemental thing that scared us but ran away? Think maybe it's part of that thing?"

The creature is quite similar to the ooze you fought only much bigger and more translucent. It slowly continues and up the tunnel. You are certain it came down much faster

"Oh yeah," Blornvid strokes his beard. "That one was water-based, and this one seems fire-based. That can't be a coincidence. Can it?"

Hey didn’t we think the pool controls a water elemental?

While it would be cool to see what is up,top, Skeeve is not sure it is worth trying to kill a presumably powerful creature that isn't a threat. He notes, It seems to be going back slowly. I wonder if it is being cautious, or is just injured.

To Raggy, he says with a grin, I dunno. Are you willing to take the slurp to find out?

Thinking a bit more, Skeeve says, Hmm ... Do you think that trident would help with any of this? We found the other ooze/elemental trapped outside the room with the trident.

Too bad none of use know how to use a two-handed melee weapon. :)

OOC:
Justa a clarification
You realize after looking over the remnant left in the depression. The ooze is very acidic, Likely the 'burning' feeling of the familiar refered to being enveloped and eaten as this is a comon ooze tactic and one quite frightening considering the size of the one in the tunnel.

OOC:
Taking GM's clarification and gaming it.
Blornvid sniffs the remnant. "Smells more like acid burn than charred from fire. There goes our elemental idea."

To Gardakhan, he says, "Nice work with your uhhh... water spirit. Did I get that right? Anyway, it did quite the number on that beast."
Aug 29, 2023 1:49 pm
Sure I’d be willing to take a drink, we determined they are usually good things, but if Blornvid thinks it’s acid not fire then maybe not the right play.

Gardakhan nods at the mention of the spirit nice work and looks at the puddle with a slight shiver.

"I for one would not drink that." He tells Raggy.
He takes a small part of his ration and throws it in the puddle of 'ooze' to observe the reaction.

"We got lucky this time"

No not that, there is a magical pool in another cavern. It is supposed to bestow some kind of good effect
Aug 29, 2023 5:20 pm
"So shall we go see that pool of wonder? I'd rather not dwell near that beast or worm or elemental or whatever it was
Saying thanks to the summoned spirit, he dissmisses it for the time being.

"I'm good to go."
Aug 29, 2023 7:46 pm
Skeeve says, "I'm good to go, too. Let's keep an eye out for that stupid fisher's line, though."

Before leaving, Skeeve adds this to his map and takes a few notes about the tube and its occupant.

You tavel through the caves without further incident. You have mapped the entire cavern system save a passage filled with some kind of massive ooze and another that lead down into the underdark. All challenges have been cleard save teh cave of spiders, teh ooze, and the cave fisher.
OOC:
Not su2rre where you are heading. The magical pool in room 8?
Optoions for next adventure
1. The Under Dark
2. Traveling theTiles - I can FF roling and problme solving and get you a few "addresses" with the help of the NPC
3. Go back to base and check in with the expedition for any further jobs

OOC:
We didn't clear out those dark mantles, or whatever the falling/flying creatures were, either. But, in each of the cases, the un-killed creatures seemed to be content in their cavern, so shouldn't cause issues in any other caverns.

Also, I'm curious about the found magic armor. While Skeeve is actually pretty content with his armor, he is hoping it'll be useful for Blornvid or someone else.

Well, two main things pop to mind.

First, trying something outdoors sounds kinda nice as a change-up. That said, the swamp just sounds like a dungeon of a different name. That said, checking out some of the relic structures could be cool.

Second, we can go tile-portal-hopping. I figure Gardakhan should be wanting to save his tribe, so we should be trying for that, I would think. We have a mystery pattern to try and who knows if Fiznik has any for us to try. Then again, I don't know if you've thought out all the portal stuff or if that's the direction you want to go as the GM.

That all said, I'm up for the Underdark, if that's what the others want.
