The crossbow bolt sinks deep into the Pudding King with a schorping sound. His body begins to droop and sag. He seems almost more ooze now than Deep Gnome, but you can still see a hideous grin crossing his face above his melting body. He moves easily across the brown mold, away from the fire and moonlight. Then in a blink, he disappears. Reappearing on the opposite side of the room near Belwar. An oozing cackle is heard from the Pudding King as he throws a ball of green ichor at Belwar.

Princess Ebonmire begins to boil from the heat of the sphere. The Pudding Kings form seems to melt even more. He's almost unrecognizable as a deep gnome now with the exception of his grinning face and piercing eyes. His lower half starts to blacken and melt.

"Ok, this is it. I'm finished playing" Grimnir races his full speed, jumping between pools of acid to reach the Pudding King (Acrobatic: 9) The so-called King stops smilling when the large dwarf appears in front of him and unleash his attacks.

Brown Mold Damage: 22 (DC 12 Con Save, Half damage on a success.)
The brown mold burns Grimnir as he rushes through it. He ignores the pain, pushing through to the Pudding King. With a rushing slash, Grimnir brings his magic sword down on the oozing head of the gnome. But just as Amanita is about to connect, a shield of force appears around the king. The sword glances off. Unfazed, Grimnir repeats the attack, and with all his might, cuts through the shield with critical precision. When the blade hits the pudding king, it doesn't feel like cutting through flesh, but rather there's a sucking noise as the face of the pudding king melts around the sword's edge. A slow gurgle emits from the pudding king as he turns into a blackened puddle on the ground. His last words are“You haven’t won! No! We will rise from our children! We will be reborn from the Faceless Lord! Juiblex will consume the banquet of the Queen of Fungi and we … will … all … grow … !”
Prince Livid begins dashing for the back exit behind the Throne, but is still pretty slow for an ooze.
At the start of Brox''s turn she takes 2 Acid Damage from the green slime coating her body.
The green slime on the ceiling recedes, sparing you another bout of dripping goo. The brown mold also shrinks away. It seems the influence of the pudding king is waning in the event of his demise. (OOG No more brown mold on the ground or green slime on the ceiling. You are free to move about the cavern.)
While Prince Livid is trying to make an escape, Princess Ebonmire continues her attack. You hear the shouting of voices coming from far away down the cavern, but cannot make out what they are saying.
The mushroom effects gives Grimnir a sensation of rush and power... "Aaaaarrrrrrrrr....who's next ????"
Perception on the King's body: 18
You notice nothing of substance on what's left of the Pudding King, which is mostly just inert black goo. As the mold and slime around the room melts away, however, you notice a small stone chest at the foot of the throne towards the back of the room.
Feeling the rush in his blood, Grimnir takes a long breath and focuses on the environment. "Calm yourself Grimnir and focus...I know I can reach that one..."
Grimnir runs toward the Ooze, using his monk skills to go faster than the wind (1 ki-point - bonus action dash) Reaching the Ooze, Grimnir strikes with his magic sword.

Prince Livid turns to gray water at the touch of Grimnir's weapon.
Grimnir, at the back of the cavern you see out through a tunnel that leads to a ruined area of cavern. You see oozes as far as your eye can see, as well as forces from Blingdenstone that must have circled around the other side of the Throne room. However, the oozes aren't pushing with a forceful attack anymore. They seem to be milling about, with no direction, and only a few small fights are still breaking out. Some of the oozes are making their way to the throne room, but not quickly.
Grimnir shouts to his friends: "Hummmm, guys... There are quite a large number of Ooze coming this direction. The pudding-king is no more. Let's finish our business and leave, shall we ?"
“You haven’t won! No! We will rise from our children! We will be reborn from the Faceless Lord! Juiblex will consume the banquet of the Queen of Fungi and we … will … all … grow … !”
Oorr, you contemplate the last words of the Pudding King. The Queen of Fungi must mean Zuggtmoy, who you had a brush with in the Neverlight Grove. Her fungal thralls were enacting a mock wedding. You were able to defeat them, and escape before the Queen herself made an appearance, but you suspect now that this macabre rehearsal may have heralded more doom than originally thought. If Juiblex and Zuggtmoy are working together in any fashion, coupled with the appearance of Demogorgon, and whispers of other demon lords in the Underdark, this is shaping up to be a massive threat to not just the people of the Underdark, but the entire Forgotten Realms.
