You successfully recover another piece and when joined with the others it makes a "U" shape.

Razzec says, "Was there anything else in the cube worth taking or just the key?  Should we check its 'room' or do you think that's all there was in there?" while staring at the super clean room.  "If nothing is in there, let's see if we can unrig the trapdoor in case we need it again."

Ember will create a smaller shower of water (10 gallons) that will soak Nico to help with neutralizing the goo on his clothing and body.

Create or Destroy Water

"Sorry.  You might be soggy but at least you aren't being eaten up by acid goo."

There are a scattering of coins and a ring, but at a glance there couldn't be more than 20-ish gold.

Nico hopped up at Ember splashing him. "Thanks!" he said, "that actually feels better. No worries about getting me wet, I'm used to the seafaring life." He started wringing out parts of his clothes before he rolled his eyes, remembering he didn't need to. Several castings of Prestidigitation later, he was dry.

Looking over the spotless room the ooze had inhabited, the bard smirked and asked, "Any bets on if that ring is magical or not?"

Anton steps forward and lays his hands on Nico, restoring 10 hitpoints. "There, that should fix you up from the acid a bit."  He looks over at the spoils from the cube and shrugs "The ring didn't dissolve, but neither did the coins.  There is a chance, go check it out."

"Nico, are you sure you want to go back in for that stuff?"  Ember asked, looking back and forth between Nico and the pit.

Grey cast Healing Word on himself for 6 points of healing.

Nico shrugged his shoulders and then stepped forward, cautiously moving into the room to try to pickup the ring. He eyed the coins, but at Ember's warning decided to leave well enough alone.

(( Stealth check, if needed: 18 ))

You know the ring and coins are at the bottom of the acid pit?

Razzec looks over the edge of the pit and says, "I don't think the ring or coins are worth another trip down there, do you Nico?". He starts making his way over to where they rigged the trapdoor open and waits for any objections before pulling the rigging out to let both doors shut again.

"IF it is 'of note'... the coins might not survive but magic items tend to withstand damage ... like from a cube that has eaten it.   The pit will be here.  We can always come back later once we finish this puzzle/door/metal thing?"   Ember looks around at everyone.  "I mean, we only have so many spells and healing... we need to save something just in case?"

(( Sorry, I did not; I thought they were elsewhere. ))

Nico shrugged. "Not going back down there myself. So then... shall we continue?"

"This better be worth all this chaos... whatever 'this' may be."  Ember grumbles as he flies back toward the entrance.

The hall continues about 100 feet and turns to the right.

Grey looks around, and pokes Razzec and nods down the hallway. "I'm still recovering from that trap" he whispers with a smile, "let's get that last key."

Perception check everybody.

{{ Game log - Razzec rolled a nat 20, so 25 total }}
