Augustin has decided to cut his losses in the eastern room and is now standing by Vakiel. He sees Esa straining to hear something in the darkness to the north. He sees her face go white.
"Deep speech," the faerie whispers. "Someone up there is talking quietly in deep speech. I don't know it, but I know that's what it is. The language of the Far Realm. It almost hurts my ears to hear it."
Augustin explains that something kept on hitting him in his brain. But he couldn't sense or feel anything. He likens it to being hit in the heard with a hay bail. Except there was no hay, which he found odd. He asks the rest of the group if there is anything that he can SEE to hit. motioning his flail in a fairly aggressive mannner.
RL will cast Summon Beast for an air beast (owl please?) at 2nd level just 1 square north of the cistern and sent it down the Eastern corridor and back to the cistern. It has dark vision to 60ft, 12 passive perception and +2 wis for perception check as its going down the corridor and back
The ooze did not recharge its psychic crush and is not smart enough to hold its action until the owl comes close, so the spiritual owl gets a free attack this time.

The owl returns, having vanquished the psychic ooze. While it has no physical damage it is not flying as well as when it left. Augustin nods, understanding what the spiritual owl has been through.
RL will continue around the corner westward and see if there is anything to loot from this area
RL looks around and initially finds nothing that Grimbald had not already discovered. Some crates, rotten and fragile to the touch, their contents degraded to dust and mold spores. Then as he searches a corner of paper catches his eye. He pulls at it and out from the dust RL uncovers a scroll. One look at the writing tells him it is an arcane scroll, not much use to him. The magic of the scroll kept it from deteriorating, luckily.

"Deep speech," the faerie whispers. "Someone up there is talking quietly in deep speech. I don't know it, but I know that's what it is. The language of the Far Realm. It almost hurts my ears to hear it."
Augustin listens, but hears nothing.

Esa points to the dark passage to the north.
"There is certainly something to hit up there! But I don't recommend charging up there on your own."

Beast Perception check22
It shares my proficiency bonus so used +5 mod, is that right?
Sounds correct!
The spiritual owl flies down the corridor to the eastern room and does a lap.
The owl does detect something, and attacks as instructed (as discussed in chat).
I'll need an attack roll, and an Intelligence Save for the spiritual owl.
Beast attack (maul) Attack: 22 Damage: 8, has flyby.
Intelligence save 10
The owl takes 15 psychic damage (halved rounded up for making its Int Save).
It flies around again for another flyby attack.
Roll for... reasons.. 6
Beast Attack Attack: 15 Damage: 8
Intelligence save14
The owl makes another flyby attack, scoring damage (the thing it is fighting is now bloodied, I'll explain it all afterwards)
But it takes 8 psychic damage (halved rounded up for making its Int Save).
Both combatants feeling the worse for wear, but the owl continues to attack as instructed.
Explanation:
The owl detected a Psychic Gray Ooze that just looked like a wet patch of wall.
The psychic ooze attempts to recharge its psychic crush power (needs a 5 or 6) - 1
The ooze did not recharge its psychic crush and is not smart enough to hold its action until the owl comes close, so the spiritual owl gets a free attack this time.
Owl is down, only has 20 hp
Attack: 9 Damage: 8
Just for continuity, as discussed in chat the owl is still up, I gave the full damage, so it needed to be halved, so the owl is on 12hp damage. :)
The owl returns, having vanquished the psychic ooze. While it has no physical damage it is not flying as well as when it left. Augustin nods, understanding what the spiritual owl has been through.
The psychic gray ooze
Augustin's mortal enemy from now on.
