Initiative 14
Cackie was a bit concerned by the fact that blob fighting did not come up in his martial arts training. Nevertheless, he quietly crept towards the gap between the south pillars and faced the blob, took a deep breath and unleashed a flying headbutt, followed by a straight punch to what he imagined was this blob's jaw.
(Where nobody has specified which ochre jelly they are targeting, I have assumed the south one (OJ2) for the sake of concentrated fire)
Cackie unleashes his flying headbutt at OJ2, slapping into the great blob like a frat boy at a kegger into a pool of ‘slime’ and hitting for 6pts bludgeoning damage. His second strike (as a bonus action, and I will take your first roll) also lands with a loud wet slap, marking a dark bruise as it causes 5pts of bludgeoning damage.
Lei-Tana gets into a position with clear line of sight and, with a flourish of her hand and a short incantation hurls a mote of arcane flame at the blob Attack: 16 Damage: 10 - the fire lands true and makes the blob crackle and bubble.
ThunderFistgrabs the magic goggles from the startled dwarf and pulls them over his eyes with one hand as he draws his axe with the other. He reaches the blob and, entering a rage of bloodlust, brings the keen blade slicing downwards…
..The attack does no damage, but instead slices the blob clean in half with a loud (and somewhat satisfying) SCHLUURRRRPPP noise. Where one crawled a single large ochre jelly, there are now two smaller blobs.
(OOC: Ochre Jelly 2 has now become OJA and OJB)
Elfa adjusts her aim slightly, and picks one of the two sub-blobs to target with her (Spell) Eldritch Blast. Summoning the power gifted to her by the dark patron, she unleashes a magical bolt: Attack: 7 Damage: 10
It's a good shot and lands square in the centre mass, causing the blob to sizzle.
Ochre Jelly 1 schleps across the ceiling towards you. With its relatively large size, being stuck to a 10ft-high ceiling means that it reaches halfway down the floor. As it comes within striking range of Cackie it projects a stringy jet of itself towards the drunken monk: Attack: 21 Damage: 10
(Agh, critical hit! Cackie is reduced to 0hp and drops unconscious)
Ochre Jelly A, a shadow of his former blob, launches an attack at ThunderFist: Attack: 18 Damage: 9
Ochre Jelly B, copying the actions of its sibling slash parent, also attacks the barbarian: Attack: 7 Damage: 11
(I'm so sorry, another critical! ThunderFist is also down and on 0hp)

Lei-Tana does a nature check: 10
And another firebolt at OJ1 as she retreats back through the doors they just came through, and enters the rubble room that they walked passed in the hopes she may find something else to help...
Cackie lies unconscious, blood seeping from his ears and nose. He may even be snoring...
Lei-Tana launches a Fire Bolt at one of the ochre jellies but the shot flies wide as she desperately tries to retreat (your attack roll was lower than the jelly's AC).
However, Lei-Tana does have a moment of clarity as a long-buried memory springs forth, emerging from the fog of her amnesia; ochre jellies...avoid slashing them or using lightning attacks...they move very slowly and can be easily outrun...they can't be blinded or frightened.
As Lei-Tana gets nearer to the temple entrance she sees Dazlyn and Norbus, stood at the steps and looking concerned by the noises they have heard. They see the look of shock on her face and, with barely a hesitation, nod to each other and head towards the doors.
ThunderFist also lies unresponsive, resting so as to lure his enemies into overconfidence.
Elfa fires another Eldritch Blast as she follows Lei-Tana towards the exit: Attack: 23 Damage: 6
Elfa's arcane lance of force damage smacks into ochre jelly B, spreading it across the wall in a greasy smear. The remaining jellies, OJ1 (large) and OJA (medium) advance towards the still-standing party members but are too slow to reach attack range.

Thunderfist’s strike flies into the blob with unfettered rage: Attack: 18 Damage: 4
The punch lands like, well, thunder, into the blob and sends ripples all through its surface. The blob now looks incredibly shaky as it sleuces across the floor.
Lei-Tana casts firebolt at OJ1 again as she runs to behind the pillar.... hoping she can keep doing this and outrun the OJs until they're all smeared across the walls!
Elfa sprints behind the far left pillar, hides in place then strikes at the biggest jelly there. It occurred to Elfa that these jellies were incredibly slow "If we keep moving quickly and striking we should be fine, we will deal with Cackie later".
Cackie’s bleeding continues and he turns slightly paler.
Lei-Tana struggles to aim straight at the slowly creeping ooze, and her inspired shot goes disappointingly wide.
Dazlyn and Norbus, bereft of combat training but brimming with courage, each throw a heavy rock at the large ochre jelly: Attack: 9 Damage: 5 and Attack: 9 Damage: 4
One rock flies wide, but the other smacks into the big slobbery mass. Thunderfist’s punch slams into the back of the smaller jelly:, but it’s his words that hurt the most Attack: 11 Damage: 4
Elfa darts past the large jelly and unleashes her blast, searing a section of it away (3pts force damage to ochre jelly).
Provoked by the rock-throwing dwarves, the large jelly oozes westward towards the plucky prospectors.

Attack: 1 Damage: 11
Elfa peaks around the pillar and uses her eldritch blast again at OJ1,she can see this is working so she decides to continue using this.
"CACKIE STAY WITH ME MY FRIEND" shouts Elfa. Elfa was very wary of Monks after a horrific run in with one in her past, however she could see Cackie was just a harmless, confused drunk.
Cackie must have been chosen for a reason though Elfa thought to herself.
Elfa knows that these Jelly's will be the least of her worries on this quest therefore intends to enjoy the battle. "Can you do anything apart from use your fists Gregolas" Elfa says with a smirk on her face.

And another firebolt at OJ1 as she retreats back through the doors they just came through, and enters the rubble room that they walked passed in the hopes she may find something else to help...

Eldritch Blast at Jelly 1
Elfa follows suit and retreats casting an eldritch blast on the way out. Elfa could see that Cackie & Thunderfist had been knocked out.
"if you don't want to be friends jelly's, we will unfortunately have to destroy you" said Elfa.
Elfa turned to Lei-Tana "the guys have been knocked out, we need to keep the jelly's occupied until they wake up, let's work together"

CORRECTION
ThunderFist used his Stone's Endurance feature to reduce the first hit by 7hp. Bear with me on the maths...
The first hit was 17hp, halved to 8 by the rage, reduced by 7 by Stone's Endurance to 1hp.
The second hit was 10hp, reduced to 5hp by Thuncerfist's rage to 5hp.
Total hp lost is 6, so Thunderfist is on 7hp and very much awake!
Therefore, please can Gregolas Thunderfist post a make-up turn? Then we will be back to the top of the initiative order.
Thunderfist suddenly leaps up and let's fly a mean left hook at the medium sized jelly hoping this would have more effect than his previous attack.
