/I guess it is pretty crowded in the tunnel, so i am going to try and use positioning out of ordinary/
Biezdar sees no way to fight comfortably in this corridor the way it is right know, so he charges past his teammates and forces himself on the jelly. (my idea is to be on the jelly, but if DM won't allow this then maybe i could at least try to move past it. However if none of this is possible, then Biezdar would stay within 5ft. of attackers to impose disadvantage on attacking jelly.)
Athletics for climbing jelly or moving past it = 3+6=9 / if you would rather use acrobatics then result would be 6. /not best roll, but if you allowed that idea then i would rather fail it than not do it/
If somehow Biezdar made it onto the jelly or past it and still has the ability to attack (i don't know if you would rule that maneuver to be an action or not) then he attacks with flail in spoiler:
6+6=12 for attack and 2+4=6 for damage

Jayson is able to pull Quin/Orsen back 5ft and heal him up.
Kosef hits despite not being the most effective melee fighter.
Biezdar.... I like the thought process. It is definitely very crowded and there isn't really somewhere this side of the slime you can attack in melee from (it's only 5ft wide corridor so Gor and Kosef are already basically on top of each other, which I'm allowing for the flow of pbp to continue but 3 would be too many). You try to vault on top of the slime, using Gor as a bit of a springboard and make it up, however the slime doesn't have the consistency to support your weight so you fall through, taking a bit of the slime with you (flavoured for the attack damage). Due to the acidic nature of the slime however, you do take 4 acid damage.
Second death save for Quin/Orsen not needed as healed. Gor and Quin/Orsen are up, Gor in melee (5ft away), Quin/Orsen 10ft away and prone. The slime looks very injured
"Oah, I love your enthusiasm brother!" Gor says, slipping side to side as he looks for an opening to swing his maul without bashing Biezdar or Kosef. "This is how we find ourselves in Lodis's graces!"
And then he swings his maul down toward the slime, hoping to not club the bejeebus out of Biezdar...
Kosef let’s out a sigh of relief. He’s not come that close to battle before. He always thought of himself as a poet writing about great men and women from afar. Not standing side by side with them. He smiles as he catches his breath.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gor rotates his neck, cracking it as he looks down at slime draining into the cracks and rocks below.
"Another tribute to Lodis!" He says, clearly excited for their victory. Then he reaches over and pats Kosef's shoulder as he catches his breath. "Well done Kosef! You have helped dispatch yet another enemy! Now let us see what else is here to sledge!"
He picks up his torch, and then moves forward, scanning the corridor as he goes for more enemies, traps, and hazards...
”You okay? I’m no cleric, but in a pinch I can be at least helpful.”
The bard re-draws his x-bow and calls out to the team.
”Fellas, comrades, I hate to be the resident killjoy here, and as a bard, I admit that filling such a role is a bit outside of my comfort zone, but we have a dragon on the prowl and a solitary midwife with zero protection that we were tasked with warning and delivering to safety. Are we seriously going to keep going room-to-room in this dusty dump looking for malevolent gelatin to splatter?”
'Orson's eyes spring wide and he gasps loudly as the light returns to his body. He snaps up to a sitting position and looks about blinking rapidly. The sound of Jaysons voice and an out stretched hand brings 'Orson' fully back to his senses. He accepts the assistance and rises to his feet. He listens to Jayson as he dusts himself off.
"He makes a good point. We can always come back but we do have other responsibilities." The young man does his best to not let the memory of his resent trip to the otherside make his voice waver as much as it wants to.
Biezdar does not adres how his feat of vaulting over jelly went, and is happy to get himself involved in conversation:
"I do not think you are off base here, Jayson. But there are other factors. First we did agreed to help those dwarven gentlmen by purging this place, so now we are obliged by our word to do it. Second, we are ultimately aim to get rid of this dragon, rather than just help others survive - that is just step one. So I say we should finish this task, and we might find something useful in those ancient ruins. How does that sound?"

“It sounds to me like the midwife is up a creek without a paddle. As far as finding anything in here, the dwarves are archaeologists. I’d imagine that given their field of study and occupation, anything we may unearth in here is going to be claimed by them. Like Orson said, we can come back. And not to be technical, but we only told the dwarves we’d check out the thing they found on the altar. We did. Then we eliminated it and two of its kin.”
He turns to the dwarves.
”You’re welcome.”
Back to Biezdar.
“With all due respect, sir, we should hit the road and hightail it to the midwife’s location. Not just for her sake, but in order to benefit all those who rely on her for care.”

Jayson spears his arms wide, looking at Biezdar.
/Jayson waits for a reply or for others to chime in. /
"Whatever is in this place has been here for a long time, and it's not going anywhere. You will be able to keep your word...just not right now. The "might be" argument only works if there isn't a "will be" counter. Right now people "will be" in danger if we don't warn them."
”Fair enough, then. Thank you, Biezdar. I think we’re doing the right and more pressing thing.”
He turns to the dwarves.
”Gentlemen, we will return once we’ve seen to our other errand. In the meantime, I think you and your team may now safely explore the altar room and the antechamber. Plenty there to excavate and catalog, I’d imagine. We’ll be back as soon as practicable. Dig well!”
"Thank you. I'm going to be alright I think. That thing just came out of nowhere." replies Orson. He manages a weak grin as the group readies to depart.
The dwarves thank you for the work you have done so far, and confirm that they will give the sending stones if you return and confirm there is no extra rooms with enemies.

He looks around at his companions.

"Well, i will not argue about that. That is very chivalry approach. I agree. Our job here is done. Let's visit midwife."

Kosef will follow the others. “How are you feeling my friend? That was possibly a little too close I think” he asks Orson, checking him over.
"Thank you. I'm going to be alright I think. That thing just came out of nowhere." replies Orson. He manages a weak grin as the group readies to depart.

The dwarves thank you for the work you have done so far, and confirm that they will give the sending stones if you return and confirm there is no extra rooms with enemies.

Jayson spots the approaching orcs and attempts to duck out of sight.

Kosef will also move to hide, although he’s not used to his armour:
Stealth: 14
'Orson' takes cover.
