"Everyone okay?" Carmen turns at the sounds of some scrambling in the back at sees Conlaed holding on to Iefer. "Phew, that was close. Watch your step everyone...Where to Ettelet? Where are your books?" she asks the Kobold. "And does that water burn, too?" She is anxious to find the diamonds but figures they should find a safe space and the Kobold's hideout seems like the best bet.
(how long have we been in the cave?)
"No. Water no burn. Rocks burn. My room is over there to the south. We have to get through the burning rocks and then swim under the river to my room."
The group has been inside the cave for about 2-3 hours at this point, slowly traveling due to limited light and possible perils.

You say burn, but suspect something more. Rocks had something on them, they weren’t hot. Mordekai looks to the south, checking for more of those rocks... or for anything potentially worse.

Carmen addresses the party "Well, folks, should we check out Ettelet's room first or go the other way?" and to the kobold, "Ettelet, do you know any tricks to deal with those rocks?"
Then, wanting to find out more about the cavern to the southwest, she calls Whiskers out of the ether and sends him in. Holding on to the nearest shoulder she looks through his eyes.

It is hard to see in this dark cavern. After a few moments of focusing, you do see something moving, albeit very slowly.

"I know no tricks. That is why Ettelet ran. They were getting closer and closer. Each day the rocks moved closer to my home. "
As Whiskers moves to the southwest, the bird flies over, hovering low to avoid the sharp ceiling. As it swoops over, it sees some sort of pile of bones.
Hearing "pile of bones" and seeing that Mordekai seems to have sensed something, Iefyr pulls both his blades from his sheaths, relaxed but ready for any trouble.
Mordekai squints, noting the movement. Hello, comrade? Mordekai half calls out, unsure of what the movement was.
As Mordekai calls out, he waits for a response. The slow movement he spotted stops moving for a moment, then continues at its slow pace with no real direction.
As you look to see what Mordekai is doing, you look closely and see small mound-shaped outlines moving about the floor. As you focus in, you can see at least 6-7 shapes moving slowly.
Ezid casts the cantrip Dancing Lights to fully illuminate the area so that everybody can see clearly, sending them floating forwards to reveal what the shapes fully look like, whilst trying to stay behind some of his stronger looking friends.
"Uh, guys, there are some things moving down there. I assume these are the things that burn."
Carmen draws her bow and shoots at the closest one.
Attack: 16 Damage: 5
(I was not sure if this is surprise so I did not roll at advantage nor use Sneak Attack Damage)
Bonus Action: Hide (if possible)
I would say that this is a sneak, but the advantage would be cancelled from he lack of light you have to see, making it a straight roll. You do hit the creature.
Your arrow flies off into the darkness. The only clue you have that you hit the target is that you do not hear the sound of the tip of your not making any sound.

As you cast your light, you send the orbs forward, illuminating the area. You can a better sight of these ooze-like creatures crawling on the ground, some encompassing rocks into their forms as they pass through them. You see about 7 of them crawling around.
Mordekai takes a step back. He wasn’t sure how a close-combat specialist like him could have any advantage on... ooze. He takes a turn to formulate a plan of some kind.

With Carmen taking the first attack, Iefyr springs forward. He's not sure if his blades will be effective, but it's worth a shot. He bounds up the amorphous creatures and twirls, slashing with his blades.

Sword: 18 Damage: 5
Sickle: 10 Damage: 5
AS Iefyr runs up to the closest ooze, he swings around once and then strikes again. Both attacks hitting the ooze. However, Iefyr, as you all your blades back up, you notice the smell of melting metal as you see some of the ooze still lingering. Your blades now is less pristine condition then when you first attacked.
Both your sword and sickle take a permanent -1 penalty to damage rolls.

Conlaed, still at the back, watches Iefyr run up and attack the oozes. He only noticed that a fight was taking place with that attack, after the cavern was illuminated.
"Are we ... fighting them? Why?"
Conlaed snaps his fingers, sending a Sacred Flame at the same ooze Iefyr attacked. (Dex save, DC 13; 4)
