The Forgotten Wish

Khond and Nuria scream in unison, and immediately book it toward the exit, not even waiting to see what else might happen. While Sylvera's intent on discovering what is going on initially wants her to head deeper, seeing everyone else make a run for it, turns around herself as other scream of "literal nightmares". 

The gooped up hallway makes certain no one will be getting out just yet of course, except for Rick, who rushes with such speed over the safe wall that he's already gone, halfway up the staircase. Everyone else makes it varying degrees through the inky goop, when behind them another crash at the furnace finally forces the hatch to swing open, and another explosion of goop to wash out on the area where most people had been standing just a moment before, coating the ground entirely. Probably good no one was there anymore. The 'furnace' starts making some kind of alert noise right after.

Khond, seeing the veritable flood of stuff bursting from the furnace - stops running.  Instead he waits for his smaller companions, Breldo and Oren, to catch up, holding an arm out to help them onto his back if they take it, and then bolts once he knows their stance.

Khond performs a tactical retreat with Nuria atop him, making it just through the ooze and to the base of the stairs. 

Still just in time to see how behind them, the substance that exploded from the furnace does not stay still for long. It twists, turns, and initially seems to shrink a bit as the middle of it all begins to rise up, and twist upon itself.

And a horror of mouths and eyes beginning to rapidly sprout upon the emerging, amorphous figure.

"Hate."
"Anger."
"Get the liar."
"Relief."
"Hate."
"Freedom."

A cacophony of overlapping voices comes from it. Uncomfortable for everyone, but perhaps especially to Oren and Sylvera who happen to be just a little bit closer than the others.

(Oren and Sylvera, give me a wisdom save please!)

Nuria holds on to Khond for dear life as the two book it out of there.

Sylvera's eyes widen just slightly upon seeing the "nightmare" for herself. 

Wisdom Save: 18

Sylvera suffers no ill effects besides a brief shiver down her spine.

Wisdom Save:  17

Oren too seems to suffer no ill effects.

Rick, on seeing everyone else following his lead, keeps booking it outta of there.

Rick (heroically) runs away. With tabaxi speed, he gets to the top of the stairs and then some. Up here at least everything seems normal, still. Depending on where he wants to go, he could be practically next to the exit next turn.

Oren glances behind him to see if any one behind him is having any trouble.    If he Sees no one in distress, he continues to dash to the exit. 

Asimi, continuing to run along with everyone else, slows down enough to position herself near the back of the group to help provide cover in the increasingly likely odds this thing attacks them.

"What's our strategy?!" She calls to the others. Running seemed to be as valid as any other option given the mayhem happening behind them, but whatever the creature was it at least seemed partially dead set on attacking Rick... Whatever the man had done to it.

Oren and Asimi both run for the stairs, both reaching it with Asimi going just a little bit up the stairs if she'd want to. The elf shouts asking what the plan even is, beside "bravely run away". It seems to be working so far.

For now at least, everyone keeps up plan "run the hell away". Breldo and Sylvera both get out of the goop and near to the stairs, Khond raising up the stairs and reaching the top before the monstrosity takes another moment to focus, and finally seems to lock eyes with the adventurers.

 It speaks again, though while uncomfortable and strange, everyone is far enough away to not notice any ill effects.

"Forward."
"Forward."
"Left?"
"Forward."
"Forward."
"Forward."

The monstrosity lurches. It is as if it's very being pushes forward, the liquid substance on the ground trailing it in a wide circle. Eyes set upon either adventurers or the exit, or both, it moves forward and...

Is really slow, making it barely a fraction through the hallway. As it travels through the goop blocking the hallway, the goop in question is slowly discoloring as well, however.

Rick decides out is the way to go and really puts on a burst of speed to get up and as near to out as possible. His claws scrambling rapidly on the tile/stones as he goes.

(Where is Rick going exactly? Just out the building as a whole? Front door, first window he sees?)

((He is exiting to building and will be taking the first exit he sees, thank you.))

Rick is already partway through the room when he glances a sharp left, sees a large open window that once upon a time may have had some kind of glass in it, and spares little time climbing up the wall, leaping through, and descending on the other side, before making enough distance that if anyone else is exiting the building he would be at least three steps ahead. Just in case.

Depending on how far he'd like to run to reach a "safe distance", however, he might find himself in trouble. Whereas the pillars that stood around the whole structure before seemed useless, at most ornamental before, it seems that is no longer the case. A translucent barrier of some kind now spans between these pillars- With no gaps, from his current perspective.

Rick ponders and decides to go up the wall as much as possible to see if there is an 'over' the fence chance.

Rick redirects from going down, to up, beginning to climb the building. The central tower is pretty significantly tall, but he should get on the main roof next round.
