Scene 3: The Dungeon

A lone torch at the end of its life lights the entrance to this musty dungeon. Leaning against one wall is a skeleton without a skull. Clutched in one of its bony hands is a fine scimitar. Those with darkvision can see further into the darkness and identify other curious items -- a shield, a book, and a frosty staff -- are scattered throughout the gloom. Multiple ladders at the far side ascend to closed cell doors.

Three black globs of ooze creep across the middle of the dungeon floor. Behind them, floating in the air, are several items: a glowing yellow gemstone, a skull, and a silvered frying pan.

Crocodile Leana inflates her nostrils. Multiple olfactory receptors help her make sense of the new surroundings.
She finds herself still agitated by the dangers they have just avoided on the other side of the door. As Leana gets a whiff of the oozy puddles her instincts tell her to save her friends from the animated black stuff. Her reptile brain does not seem interested in anything other than eliminating the threat for now.

Leana moves her scaly body forward to the first offending goo and bites into it without reserve.

Skillfully ignoring Hindle and Merton's whining and urging, Brickowsky decides on the correct key, deliberately inserts it into the lock and opens it without haste. If you're in a hurry, you just can't afford to be hastily- old words. Genuine words. Slow and steady wins the race. Once more.

Entering the room behind the wonderous door, the dwarf sighs in relief. Luck belongs to the brave. The magician smugly scratches his chin and is amazed at what can be found here. So much potentially magical stuff! His hands start to sweat and his eyes take on a strange shine.

He, in addition, gives the torch a extended, suspicious look. Who probably lit this? A torch burns for approx. 1 hour. Could this be the result of the disappearance of this odd Rumwell character? Hardly. They've presumably been on the road too long for that now, right?

When Leana suddenly rushes forward, the dwarf also realizes that these treasures are well guarded, the magician wakes up from his thoughts and spreads his arms with a theatrical gesture to let Magic rain down on the oozes. MAGIC! Worth the capitals!
OOC:
Could it have been Rumwell, considering our short rest etc., or does that seem unlikely to Brickowsky?

How are the Oozes? Can I bring them into the radius of the Shatter Spell? Or a Thunderwave? Needless to say without hurting Leana!

Shatter: erupts from a point of your choice within range. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on that point

Thunderwave: Each creature in a 15-foot cube originating from you

OOC:
Heh, for surprising the oozes and the GM, everyone may take one attack or move before the battle begins! Please also roll initiative after listing out what you would like to do before the oozes get it together to fight back. I will be putting up a map, the initiative list, and what your moves/attacks did so far.

As for Rumwell lighting the torch, it is a possibility. Just because he spirited away does not mean he could not have also visited this dungeon after your short rest or while you were in the caves.

Leana surprises and critically bites Ooze 1 (16 piercing damage!) with her powerful crocodile jaws, but finds the ooze is filled with acid! She feels her tongue start to burn and some of her teeth start to ache (4 acid damage).
OOC:
Each of the squares is 5 feet. Please let me know if you have questions what any of the items are on the map. I will have Hindle and Merton concealed around the corner for now until they roll their initiatives.

Brickowsky, go ahead and say which spell you want to do for your surprise attack and then what move you want to make next as you go first in the battle so far.

Initially drawn to the variousl items visible from the doorway, Hindles attention is quickly drawn to the source of the faint squelching noises. Dark glistening forms stretch and roll across the floor. The amorphous wet looking things quickly approach and are immediately set up on by the Leanodile! Shocked into action, Hindle take a step forward and strikes out with two corruscating blasts before he even has time to think about it.

@Dhakhan> when you are hidden, you have advantage on your first attack roll. :)
Stretching his fingers, the wizard sends out his magic. Fire would be a good start. Things like these oozes normally don't like fire.

Taking a step back, he sends out a beam of blunt force against one that is already hurt and tries to shove the nearest back a bit.
OOC:
Surprise Round: Cast Shatter - Con Save DC: 16, or half DMG. Awakened Spellbook feature - Brickowsky changes the DMG typ to fire.

1. Round:
- Move behind his two comrades and send forth a
- "Fire Bolt", but changes the DMG typ to bludgeoning. If possible against a foe that has failed his save. If all of them are successfull than against the one that was bitten by Leana.
- Bonus: Number 3: Str Save DC: 16 or be moved 5 squarres back.

Edit: sorry! typo! Just wrong dice on the fire bolt.

Ooze 1 and 3 try to consolidate themselves to withstand the damage from Brickowsky's Shatter spell.

They cannot withstand Brickowsky's amazing magic and can be seen violently wiggling from the force. An acrid smell fills the air as the oozes are affected by the fire quality of the spell.

Hindle at first steps forward, drawn by treasures, but is stopped as these black amorphous blobs sidle up and Leana attacks them before they can cause any harm to her companions. Hindle steps forward once more to avoid hitting his party members and shoots an eldritch blast from each hand at the two closest blobs. With the violent wiggling of Blob 1 from the Shatter spell, Hindle's blast unfortunately misses and shoots into empty wall. However, Blob 2 gets hit squarely in the middle and a hole can be seen clean through before it is filled in again by the rest of the ooze.
OOC:
@Dhakhan Don't forget your initiative roll!

Brickowsky now moves far back away from the blobs and sends a fire bludgeoning bolt at Ooze 1. The bolt violently shoots a piece of ooze off and it shrivels up as the acrid smell worsens around them.

The blobs begin to retreat after the massive damage.

Merton stays hidden in the shadows.

Leanodile takes a quick nip of Ooze 1 before it retreats (3 piercing damage) and then rushes forward her full movement to take another large bite out of Ooze 1 (7 piercing damage). The ooze is starting to have trouble keeping its shape like its brethren are doing. As Leanodile's power jaws clamp down, she feels another wave of acid wash through her sharp teeth (4 acid damage). Brickowsky readies his next move.

Ooze 1 is unable to get loose from Leanodile's grappling bite and is stuck in place until Leanodile releases it from her jaws. (Attacks Affected. Attack rolls against you have Advantage, and your attack rolls have Disadvantage. Saving Throws Affected. You have Disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws.)
