Mother Slime
Walery shrugs to Darius and says, "If fire works, I can do that easily enough..." He flips a switch on his death ray, and shoots the center of the pool. He's not sure what will happen.
Kruulvog says, "I feel so drawn, so... fascinated, almost compelled to jump into it. But only almost." He watches Walery prepare to shoot the pool, curious to see what will happen.
Nothing untoward happens as the pool is shot. Nothing but a simple ripple across the surface. What you'd expect from normal water.
Darius puts his greatsword away and draws his mace given by Felicia.
GAME: Walery casts Burning Hands. Caster Level: 5 DC: 15
Walery hrms as his death ray does nothing remarkable to the pool. "No, how about wide beam, then...." he muses, working some controls on his death ray. He takes another shot, this one spraying a fan of flame across the pool.
GAME: Aftershock rolls 1d20+20: (5)+20: 25
Suddenly the water wobbles, it shakes, quivers, and then a tendril reaches out and envelops Walery.
GAME: Darius rolls 1d20+12: (20)+12: 32 GAME: Darius rolls 1d8+7: (5)+7: 12
Darius seeing the water move, is moving himself before anyone has an opportunity to react, roaring a war cry and smashing it perfectly with the mace given to him by Felicia, "UNHAND HIM BLACK SLIME DEMONSPAWN!!!!"
GAME: Morgan casts Haste. Caster Level: 9 DC: 20
Morgan comes on the scene and sees the large slimes. "Two monsters I hate and slimes are one." She moves close enough to get everyone in the group.
Brianna shakes her head, "Here we go again." She activates her armor seeming to bulk up a bit before she pulls out a device and slaps it to her arm. Cables wrap around her arm and Brianna starts to glow and her body swells till she easily twice her size when the glow fades.
Morgan adds "These ones like to eat magic."
GAME: Amythyst casts Lightning Bolt. Caster Level: 6 DC: 17 GAME: Amythyst rolls 6d6: (11): 11
Amythyst runs her way in as she hears others starting to fight. "Well..the cleric DID say you were an impatient lot." And Morgan's warning comes a LITTLE late as Amythyst's lightning bolt crackles and booms into the slime. "And here I thought it was one of Lord fuknutz slimes. Even he wasn't smart enough to do this....."
Astaren walks in after the call, peers at the slimes, 'Oh... I knew I forgot to take care of something. Or is this not the one I left in the sewers." Peering at the slimes thoughtfully. Glancing to Amythyst, "Well somebody made these, and they are getting around. So standard beat down it is I suppose?"
GAME: Walery rolls cmb: (5)+3: 8
Walery struggles helplessly. Blurble blrble blrble.
GAME: Duncan rolls 15: (10)+15: 25 GAME: Duncan rolls 15: (19)+15: 34 GAME: Duncan rolls 10: (5)+10: 15 GAME: Duncan rolls 1d8+20: (1)+20: 21 GAME: Duncan rolls 1d8+20: (5)+20: 25 GAME: Duncan rolls 1d8+20: (6)+20: 26 GAME: Aftershock rolls 1d20+20: (10)+20: 30 GAME: Aftershock rolls 1d4+7: (1)+7: 8
Duncan is not sure what's going on. But he sees Walery and the slime enveloping him. Duncan draws his conclusions at the same time as others begin attacking. He swings his hammer several times. If you hit something hard enough with a blunt object, it breaks. Will slime break? Duncan intends to find out!

The currently large artificer known as Brianna lays into the thing with her titan fists. Three slamming fists total, though to how much effect is uncertain.
GAME: Morgan casts Overland Flight. Caster Level: 9 DC: 22
Morgan says, "Damit Amy You know they eat magic we fought them before." She takes a few feet back and casts a spell to help her fly in the air.
GAME: Amythyst rolls melee: (4)+3: 7 GAME: Amythyst rolls 1d6+3: (2)+3: 5 GAME: Darius rolls weapon5: (1)+12: 13 (EPIC FAIL)
Enveloping Amythyst is the worst mistake of this ooze's life. As Amythyst is taken....a LOUD hissing sound can be heard, but it's not from the ooze trying to hurt Amythyst with acid....but AMYTHYST sucking the moisture out of the ooze!
GAME: Darius rolls weapon5: (13)+12: 25 GAME: Darius rolls damage5: aliased to 2D6+10: (7)+10: 17
Darius, really pissed off attempts to stab the ooze at it's core but on his first try, he misses completely, the second try he manages to get a good stab in at it.
GAME: Walery rolls cmb: (1)+3: 4 (EPIC FAIL) GAME: Walery rolls cmb: (20)+3: 23
Walery struggles weakly in the slime. Yuck. Then he seems to find a thin area, where the slime is less slimy, and he swims, wades through, and suddenly air. Wheeze!
GAME: Duncan RAGES!, gaining +2 to melee attack/damage/Will saves and 20 temporary HP GAME: Duncan rolls 17: (18)+17: 35 GAME: Duncan rolls 17: (11)+17: 28 GAME: Duncan rolls 15: (7)+15: 22
Duncan draws back in disgust as his blows bounce off of the slime. Another adventurer is swallowed. Duncan draws deep on the fey energies that course through his blood. His eyes glow. He grips his warhammer with both hands and smashes it into the slime again and again.
GAME: Aftershock rolls 1d20+20: (19)+20: 39
The thing hardly seems to notice that Walery has been freed. Instead it puts its focus on Morgan, easily snatching her up and swallowing her whole.
GAME: Darius rolls weapon5+2: (9)+12+2: 23 GAME: Darius rolls weapon5+2: (15)+12+2: 29 GAME: Darius rolls damage5: aliased to 2D6+10: (8)+10: 18 GAME: Darius rolls damage5: aliased to 2D6+10: (6)+10: 16
Darius continues to try and stab at the core of the creature, wanting to end it's life like nobody's business.
GAME: Brianna rolls fist+1`: aliased to bab+strength+1+1`: (7)+3+7+1+1`: 18 GAME: Brianna rolls fist+1: aliased to bab+strength+1+1: (20)+3+7+1+1: 32 GAME: Brianna rolls fist+1: aliased to bab+strength+1+1: (19)+3+7+1+1: 31 GAME: Brianna rolls 2d6+strength: (8)+7: 15 GAME: Brianna rolls 2d6+strength: (6)+7: 13 GAME: Brianna rolls 2d6+strength: (9)+7: 16
Brianna lays into the thing with another three punches. Its all she can really do since they said not to hit it with magic.
GAME: Morgan rolls cmb+2: (11)+4+2: 17 GAME: Morgan rolls cmb+2: (11)+4+2: 17 GAME: Amythyst rolls melee: (19)+3: 22
Morgan trys to fly right out but finds she is notstrong enough.
GAME: Amythyst rolls 1d6+3: (4)+3: 7
Amythyst doesn't even bother trying to get out of the slime at all. This only makes it worse for the slime, since she's sucking the moisture out of the slime the longer she's in there. thank goodness she can hold her breath.
GAME: Astaren rolls cmb: (12)+11: 23
Astaren walks over and pulls Morgan out, "You ok there? Can't you suffocating on me, need you to help me with my research now. think we should capture this?"
Walery, dripping slime, slogs off away from the slime. Well away. Well, well away, next to the way in here, he gets out his death ray and checks it over to see if it's too badly slimed. He works the action, and it seems to work.
GAME: Aftershock rolls 1d20+20: (13)+20: 33 GAME: Aftershock rolls 1d4+7: (4)+7: 11
For whatever reason the creature - if a mindless ooze can be called a creature - seems unwilling to let Morgan go, so it grabs her up once again.
GAME: Brianna rolls fist+1: aliased to bab+strength+1+1: (16)+3+7+1+1: 28 GAME: Brianna rolls fist+1: aliased to bab+strength+1+1: (1)+3+7+1+1: 13 (EPIC FAIL) GAME: Brianna rolls fist+1: aliased to bab+strength+1+1: (13)+3+7+1+1: 25 GAME: Brianna rolls 2d6+strength: (10)+7: 17 GAME: Brianna rolls 2d6+strength: (8)+7: 15 GAME: Morgan casts Dimension Door. Caster Level: 9 DC: 21
Brianna throws another three punches, though one of them missed. She still isn't sure if she is actually doing anything to it or not.
Morgan says as she gets pulled out and says "We are close to finishin....." is all she says as she is pulled back in but blinks out "finishing the project I hope the crystal is good enough."
GAME: Amythyst rolls melee: (14)+3: 17 GAME: Amythyst rolls 1d6+3: (3)+3: 6
Amythyst winces. "OW OWOWOWOW! YOU ACIDIC BITCH! I'LL TEACH YA!" And there are more sizzling sounds as Amy draws more water from the slime. "You can't last much longer, can ya?"
GAME: Walery casts Cure Moderate Wounds. Caster Level: 5 DC: 16 GAME: Walery rolls 2d8+5: (9)+5: 14 GAME: Aftershock rolls 1d4+7: (4)+7: 11
It is hard to tell if the attacks are harming the thing, but the arm begins to withdraw from out of reach - taking Amythyst with it.
GAME: Brianna rolls fist+1: aliased to bab+strength+1+1: (16)+3+7+1+1: 28 GAME: Brianna rolls fist+1: aliased to bab+strength+1+1: (4)+3+7+1+1: 16 GAME: Brianna rolls fist+1: aliased to bab+strength+1+1: (9)+3+7+1+1: 21 GAME: Brianna rolls 2d6+strength: (4)+7: 11 GAME: Brianna rolls 2d6+strength: (8)+7: 15 GAME: Brianna rolls 2d6+strength: (7)+7: 14 GAME: Amythyst rolls reflex: (12)+6: 18
Brianna sees the thing start to pull away and considers, "Do we need to pull her out?" she calls out as she throws another 3 slams of her titan fists at the thing. She blinks as there is a bigger effect of her blows this time, as the arm falls off and drops the one that was within.
With a weird ripple the arm splashes into a stream of water which runs down to join the pool which shudders and lays flat. Without reason that you can see it becomes a normal if black and sparkling pool of water once again.
Kruulvog applauds. He says, "You guys were awesome! That's why Alexandria is world famous for its adventurers."
- DING*
And Amythyst lands neatly on her feet.....and she takes in a great gulp of breath. "Yeesh. Who's the twerp who let Lord Morgan's jellies out again?" She says as she stands up. "The dumbfuck's dead and still he harries the city. I'm surprised the jackass hasn't come back to life yet. He seemed to have everything ELSE planned out...like killing his wife."
Morgan removes her robe and flies to Amy and offers it.
Amythyst blinkblinks as she looks at Morgan...then looks down. "Oh goddammit." And she takes the robe.
Brianna is just now shrinking to her normal size, the enlarge contraption deactivated and she glances around a bit, "Is that it?" she asks. She tries to just ignore the lack of clothing from the one just recently inside the thing.
Morgan says to her friend, "when we are done I will teleport us to my house and lend you something."
Walery is trying to get the slime off him, and nods at the slime thing. "That was pretty gross, yeah."
Amythyst ties the robe to her and smiles a bit to Morgan. "Let's make sure this thing is dead first." She says softly. "First off.....ow. Can anyone mend my burns here?"
Brianna nods her head a bit, "I do have a couple healing contraptions still." she offers after a moment.
Walery says to Brianna, "I can help, but only a bit..." He pulls a red ampule from his utility belt. "It stings a bit, but it's good," he insists.
Amythyst holds out her arms. "I was draining the moisture from the ooze. Once these are healed....and I have some new clothes, I'll hit the water again."
Morgan looks Amy over "well at my house I do have a bath tub that you can relax in."
Astaren walks up as he examines the water. He pulls out a vial and takes a sample, "Healing you say?" Reaching over and casting a healing spell of Amythyst, "Good work there." Glancing around as he considers.
Brianna starts to pull one out when Astaren takes care of it.
Kruulvog volunteers, "If you all want to go refresh yourselves, Greenfang and I will stay behind and keep an eye on it. We can raise the alarm if it does anything."
Astaren glances to Brianna, "Take your own sample there, more people looking into this the better."
Amythyst smirks at Morgan. "This requires more than just a bathtub. I'll show you one day, Morgan." She says before looking to Astaren. "yeah, Healing. The acid hurts." She then looks to Astaren. "there's apparently more of them around. But if you're looking for the asshole who shipped them in in the first place. he's dead. I should know...I killed the asshole myself. Lord Morgan." She then looks to the Wizard Morgan. "Obviously, not you."
Morgan is glad her mentor is getting a collection of the stuff "Astaren I will give you my notes on this slime that I know of and who might of made these stinking slimes." She is happy that Amy is better with Astaren help.
Duncan claps Kruuvlog in the back. "That's the spirit!" he nods. Unclipping the rose that serves as the mark of his order, the Khazad begins the ritual to summon his digger. "We'll keep watch with you!"
Morgan nods to Amy "I do not make things like that and would never do that... that and I know my name is non gender but Morgan is only part of my name."
Kruulvog coughs and stumbles forward a step at the khazad's enthusiasm. He says, "Oh, it's alright. You needn't stay. Greenfang here is sufficient company." The snake tastes the air.
Amythyst says, "Well...you're also a Lady and....he wasn't." She then looks to Astaren. "Also....find some way to suck the water out of them. That's what I did, even as I was in the stinking thing.""
Astaren nods to Amythyst, "A level 6 arcane spell, dehydration may be very effective, even if it is magic." glancing back over to Morgan, "Yes those notes please, see what can do to eliminate the threat. They are self replicating, so probably a few more in the sewers."
Amythyst holds up her hand. "I don't use the spell." She then chuckles. "Come on Morgan. After that, I need to eat something."
Morgan places a arm around Amy and says some arcane words teleports them away.
Amythyst pops out.
Kruulvog says, "So, anyway, I hope this idea of dehydrating the thing works. Frankly, I'm not overconfident. I mean didn't the pool in the woods return after it was all drained out?"
-End-
