This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Randy's blue streak turns a few shades darker as he loses his footing and does indeed find the fastest way down.
8 falling damage
Collecting himself and staggering back to his feet, Randy's limping shuffle picks up into a run as he hurries down the tunnel.
(After the fall, getting back up and dashing, Randy is 30ft into the tunnel, he can feel the fungal presence around a slight bend and can make out it's glow. He has another round to use.)

Like lemmings forced off a cliff by Disney filmmakers, Coljin follows after Randy, gathering himself up from where he impacts, manages to make it nearly as far as the ranger, with Dornikal and his oozy friend still out of view.

((Randy and the gnomes have another round before they catch up with where Dornikal was, and since they all took the... fast way down, they are able to get within range of where they'll see the fungus walling off the tunnel, with no Dornikal visible, and still have action/bonus action available.))

Coljin hustles forward, and catching sight of the fungus blocking the passage, and no Dornikal in sight, unleashes a tolling that jiggles the mass of slimey goo.

One of the tendrils impacts heavily, wrapping around the ranger before falling loose to the floor, leaving him covered in glowing blue that itches. The other, he is barely able to dodge, and a good thing, as he feels the tug of the one that did hit him. He would be able to surmise that if it had hit him with both, it may have been able to draw him into its mass.

Randy will get his rapier ready and proceed around the corner (still dashing until he lays eyes on the fungus).
Ulmwin curses -he's going to have to do the same, isn't he?

Ulmwin, seeking a more nimble option, tries leaping from handhold to ledge, and it goes marginally better, before he too tumbles to the bottom.
((Coljin: 8, Ulmwin: 4 falling.))
He's able to collect himself and follow after Coljin and Randy.

Since he can now see the fungus, he casts the same as he has been doing, Toll the dead, saving his more potent magic for healing.

Ulmwin chases after the happenings, a bolt of light shooting through the air and trying to strike the beast.
Guiding bolt: Attack: 21 Damage: 20
The ooze parts as Randy thrusts, then reseals when he withdraws his blade. There is the briefest of glimpses of Dornikal beyond.
Dornikal, you see the was of ooze open up twice to allow Randy's blade to poke through, you know at least he is down here with you and the creature.

Coljin is staying out of the fungus' reach.
Tolling dead again and hoping it is actually doing some harm.
He tries to figure out if the thing looks injured or not, and if so, badly or not.
Tolling: 20

Randy shakes his head to clear it. "Be careful! It's trying to be grabby!"
