The mimic gets smashed by Gertrude's newly-found staff before the chance to use its sticky tongue-like pseudopod. As it dies, it reverts to an amorphous slime.
Kurma is amazed by the strength of Gertrude. "This staff did transform you a bit, but you are so strong now. We might have a chance on surviving this tomb ! Come back now please, I don't really want you to fall down"
Pointing to his own hammer he added, "You should think about naming the staff 'Gertrude's Kiss'!"
"That's a great idea, it's always good to name your weapon, makes it stronger I think !" Kurma takes a few second to look at his companions and adds: "We should come up with a name for our group eventually... What do you think Irommek ?"
Falling in line towards the rear of the group as they waded up the dark waterway Irommek excitedly voiced his opinion. "Oh, a group name is almost as important as a name for a weapon! As a child I remember my old man sitting around the dinning room table, showing me the proper way to drink an ale, belch like a sailor and sing the songs of the adventures of the Clan of Orc Ousters and Mead Makers!!"
"Let's see, for our party... how about ‘Clan of Yuan-Ti Slayers’…’Company of Undead-brawlers and Tankard Up-enders’…’Fellowship of the Alchemy Jug’..."
Looking over at the girls he smiled and added, "Or maybe the ‘Order of the Maiden Ascendancy’..."
The river goes for a long bit and starting turning on itself, leading south. After a while, another skeleton is encountered, but it does not seem to be aware of Kurma's presence.
Kurma spots the skeleton and once again silently places himself behind it, hoping the creature will flee towards his companions. Knowledge strikes again: 22 damage bludgeoning 8 "Skeleton Incoming !"
Despite lacking many of its bones, the skeleton persists. It runs upriver, ending its course in this section of the underground river filled with a greenish and rotten-smelling fog...
"Well, I'm not running into a rotten-smelling fog by myself... If you want just to trace back a couple of hundred meter, I might have an idea to get into another room."
"Well, I'm not running into a rotten-smelling fog by myself... If you want just to trace back a couple of hundred meter, I might have an idea to get into another room."
Moa: "Your idea won't work, I fear. The Tomb is a magical place itself that does not abide by the normal laws of physics and magic. The stone walls and door within the Tomb won't be affected by stone-shaping spells."

Taking a moment to transform his mouth from a wide "O" to a smile he voiced his amazement to Gertrude.
"Well, I had your back with that bestie, but a couple of wacks from that staff and you reduced it to jelly!"
Pointing to his own hammer he added, "You should think about naming the staff 'Gertrude's Kiss'!"
Kurma is amazed by the strength of Gertrude. "This staff did transform you a bit, but you are so strong now. We might have a chance on surviving this tomb ! Come back now please, I don't really want you to fall down"
