Earlier: Oox welcomes Rando and his unique skill set to the group.
Investigation: 3
When Oox takes the bandana from Yuri, the piece of fabric melds into its ooze form and floats, static. Oox does not really notice smells anyway, though it does notice the presence of particles of smell, such that they exist.
Oox waves a pseudopod, wordlessly, at the group and slides up toward the front of the group of humans. Oox does not appear to have self-consciousness in the way that many might, and moves with relaxed, but driven, purpose.
Oox only looks to Yuri to continue to lead, as they walk in the path of Celestian.
“Quite fascinating. A special rune. What will they think of next? I’ll have to pick up a book or pamphlet or scroll on that language. It is most interesting.”
Rando follows Oox waving at the other individuals as he walks by.
Oox falls in behind the masked leader heading out into the tunnel. The Ettin ambles behind the line of red bandanaed humanoids.
They silently take the group around numerous turns through the through intersecting passages carved into the depths of the asteroid. The tunnel opens into a cavern thirty feet wide with a steep drop off one side and a cliff extending into the darkness beyond their sight. Bioluminescent fungi illuminates the wall on the right. Twenty minutes later, they pass a glowing green lake.
Perception Check, please
The tunnel abruptly stops and extends up through the cut rock.
The masked figure presents their hand and a two foot long rod with flanged heads appears.
Stepping up to the wall, they press the fourth button along the shaft and it extends down the ground spiking into the rock. The other end shoot up into the dark shaft. Horizontal bars 3 inches long fold out from the sides, 1 foot apart, forming a ladder.
When they were passing by the lake, Tink sees these three looking up at you in the murky glowing water. They are hiding behind a rock formation on the bottom.
They dart off down a hole in the ground when they noticed and get away.
A four armed Thri-kreen insectoid, heavily muscled Human man, wiry Elf, and hooved Satyrscale the ladder one after. The Thri-kreen quietly hands down black crates with rope handles to the Human and so on down the line. The Ettin from the back pushes his way forward noticeably getting shorter to fit the height of the tunnel. It grabs the crates and begins stacking. When the pile becomes roughly square, It slides under some lifting straps and drags them back the way you came from, while regaining its height with the ceiling allowed.
A scowling wretch in a shabby old overcoat, steps up to the ladder and casts a spell with a wave of his grubby crooked wand. Speaking a word of power, he summons a circular, horizontal plane of force, 3 feet in diameter and 1 inch thick that floats 3 feet above the ground. He hefts four crates on to the levitating disk with huffing effort. A large rat leaps from his coat on to the piled boxes. He pushes the load through the crowd without waiting for them to move.
A Halfling steps up to get a crate. Near the top of the ladder, the rope handle slips from the man’s hand. The crate tumbles down the shaft, followed by a second crate knocked from the Elf’s hand.
Oox slides over to the Satyr, and attempts to lay on hands on it and the halfling. 5 hp each.
Then Oox picks up a hunting rifle and absorbs it into its oozy form. The weapon bobs, safely held, until Oox can use it. "May Celestian grant me the strength to use this when necessary."
Oox looks around to see if ammunition has also scattered.

Rando follows Oox waving at the other individuals as he walks by.
"No need for bandana. ******."
Tink alters the hue of his face plate so it is now a bright red instead of the pale blue of the rest of his body.
Yuri, blinks as he thinks for a second. He says, "I guess that will work. Rollout!", before walking up to the door.

”Fascinating! Where did you get all these wonderful toys?”
Perception: 20
"Great secrets are guarded by great champions," Oox says solemnly.

(Meanwhile back at the ladder...)

A Halfling steps up to get a crate. Near the top of the ladder, the rope handle slips from the man’s hand. The crate tumbles down the shaft, followed by a second crate knocked from the Elf’s hand.
At the bottom, the Elf, Satyr, and Halfling attempt to not get hit.
Dexterity (DC 15)
Elf: 6
Satyr: 13
Halfling: 6
*Damage if hit*
Elf: 147
Satyr: 17
Halfling: 21
The crate misses the Elf's head by a hair.
The Satyr's arm and leg are twisted in unnatural directions.
The Halfling is crushed under the Satyr and two crates.
"AAAHHHH AAAAHHHH", the Satyr screams.
The masked leader commands him, "Quiet." And the Satyr falls silent.
From the smashed crates, Revolvers and Hunting Rifles go flying.
Yuri, Oox, Tink, and Rando are next in line.
Each crate is 100 lb. (Average)
The crates are labeled
“Thundersmith & Children”
“Gith & Wesson”
“Bangers & Mash”
“Sparkyy’s Ammo”
“Pineapples”
Oox slides over to the Satyr, and attempts to lay on hands on it and the halfling. 5 hp each.
Then Oox picks up a hunting rifle and absorbs it into its oozy form. The weapon bobs, safely held, until Oox can use it. "May Celestian grant me the strength to use this when necessary."
Oox looks around to see if ammunition has also scattered.
I cast Tenser’s Floating Disk and wait politely for someone to load things on.
The Satyr's leg untwists. He is far from good, but he can walk again.
The leader nods in appreciation.
The Halfling, however, is gone.
Someone pulls the body away. Blood pools at the bottom of the ladder.
Two more people take their place handing down crates.
Four crates are load on Rando's disk.
Some of the crates say Sparkyy's Ammo. But there is none on the ground.
Sparkyy's
Tink allows the Satyr to lead on him while scooping up a revolver and a box, and scanning around for ammunition.
Oox provides the Satyr with 5 more hp of healing, seeing that the Halfling is beyond repair.
Does Oox grab a box?
Does the extra 100 lb make Oox or Tink encumbered?
What is written on the box(es) you are carrying? Dealer's choice.
Rando looks down at the boxes on his disk: Golem - Some Assembly Required
