Binder's Hold and the Problem with the Mine.

"Damn it..." The black knight mutters as he realises that even his enchanted greatsword would do nothing to harm whatever is coming his way.

Action: Prepares to dodge out of the way in case as he commands his zombie to attack Kamikaze style. As he does so he stands where he is (5ft pass the cave's entrance)

Zombie attack: Attack: 8 Damage: 3

Gema will cast vicious mockery on the pudding.

"Come on you overgrown toe fungus!"

DC 15 wisdom save or take 2 psychic damage and has disadvantage on its next attack

(Guile doesn't misty step then w/ his line of sight blocked)

"Looks like we've got to deal with this pudding first". Guile evokes a rumbling chromatic orb and hurls it at the black pudding.

Attack: 28 Damage: 32 thunder

Zelgius' zombie hits for 2 HP damage (Pudding has 7 AC).  Its rusty short sword dissolves and it takes 3 acid damage, rolling a Con Save DC: 5 + Damage taken: 21 

Guile's orb cause a thunderous roar to echo through the mines, sending shock waves through the Black Pudding.

Wis Save vs Viscous Mockery: 5

Still waiting on Bridgette's action

Zelgius' Zombie is STILL up.

Black Pudding Saves against Vicious Mockery.

Awaiting Bridgette's & Zelgius' & Shadow's actions

Zombie Attack 2: 7 Damage: 2

Aegnor

Beast speech, "Heel, Guard with low growl alert on danger."

(next turn in advance)

Vanja sighs in satisfaction as her bolts sink into the pudding with a squelch.

(Deleted next turn as the BP is down) 

Bridgette this turn uses dread form (for the temp HP to negate the acid defense from the touch attack she is going to perform) moves up and uses inflict wounds on the Black Pudding. Attack 23 Damage 14 Necrotic. 

She will then retreat 30' (taking any damage negated by the dread form temp HP) use Eldritch Blast on it if it is still alive 17 Damage: 7 on her turn next round.

Initiative:

Ravager                                               16

Lizardmen in halfling sized tunnel  16

Zelgius                                                 14

Vanja                                                    13  

Aegnor  & Kumiko                              12 (Dex 17)

Guile                                                      12 (Dex 16)

Gema                                                       7

Lizardman (outside)                              6

The Black Pudding dissolves into a puddle (2 criticals for an extra 40 HP damage!!!)

During Ravagers action this turn you will hear a muffled sizzle of fuses being lit beyond the large jar at the end of the small tunnel.

"I can hear a fuse igniting on the other side. Stay on your guard!" The black knight warns the other if any of them are willing to listen.

Vanja heads down to where the large jar blocks the passageway, grumbling about people leaving pottery in the way of the fight. Does she get there on her 35' movement or does she need to dash?

If she gets there without dashing, she uses her action to move the vase/jar. 

Vanja would need to Dash to get to the crawl space opening.  Then next turn crawl (1/2 move speed) through the tunnel, use an action (str roll) to move (or destroy) the jar.  Depending on the length of the fuse, Vanja may have the pleasure of being in the midst of an explosion or trying to put out multiple long fuses.  (And potential long range missile fire from any observers.)

So your choices, if you are successful, are to risk your lives and then continue with battle while everyone else is coming through the hole single file on hands and knees (except for Guile) or to evacuate to a safe distance.

(Sorry,driving all day)

IF

Ravager is aware they think we're with the Trogs & that's why they're attacking

She'll cast Thaumaturgy to increase her voice 3x volume & yell 

"OI MATES¡  WE'RE NOT BROOD KILLERS, WE'VE BEEN KILLING THEM AND WE CAN PROVE IT IFYOU EXTONGUISH THOSE GUSES!"

The Tongues spell will translate

And Persuasion (let me know if I need to roll again for disadvantage)  

14

Ah! Vanja thought the jar was next to where the blob was. Now she realises it isn’t, she yells out:

“Staying alive is the better part of valour! Or something. Let’s get out of here before it blows!” 

She heads back the way they came. 

Fuses, not guses 

And if she doesn't know about the misunderstanding, then "RUN!"

No response after Ravager's call to the Lizardmen.... just the sizzle of fuses...

Arnel comes running down from the east part of the mine, turns south and continues running without a word.

Dashing through the mine (to the exit)

Guile considers the situation.  What once seemed like a reasonable plan is not wrought with too much uncertainty.   He barks out in Common with a goblin accent, "We need to get out of here.  Tunnels can be dug back out."

Guile will dash 60' towards the exit and then misty step another 30' to a stick of dynamite he could retrieve.  He orders Nox to fly outside.
