Guan Hao selects one of the more intact limbs of the previously enchanted armor that guarded this hall. Though corroded, the appendage is sturdy and should be good for a few strong whacks as an improvised flail due to its articulated joints. [1d8 bludgeoning damage].
Guan Hao is now appropriately armed for this encounter.

Guan Hao swings the limp limb at the languishing liquid. The armored gauntlet crashes into the ooze, and several pulsing pseudopods burst and tear away under the force of the blow.

Balasar lifts up a heavy cobble and heaves it at the puddle. 21
[OOG, it had 1 hp. It's just dead. Alas poor crit, you aspired to so much, but your time was not now.]
No further threats are manifesting through long tense moments of waiting. After a while, the mercs drop their guard and start to tend to their wounded.

Elaric moves to the eastern wall and begins to closely examine it, pausing occassionally to trace his fingers along a crack or seem, tap on various areas, or briefly close his eyes and listen intently. He even appears to be sniffing, every so often taking long, slow breaths in through his nose.
Perception check for anything to help him pursue his earlier observations: 9
Gong will assess the wounded. Is there anyone dying and in need of stabilization?
No one is dying, but Volk is on his last legs and Boyle looks pretty beat up. Their armor still occasoinally smokes as unreacted ichor digs new pits into the metal.

Elaric hears and feels nothing, and his senses indicate that thick rock exists behind this wall.
Elaric turns to check on the survivors. After ascertaining that none seem in imminent danger, he leaves them to Gong's ministrations and strides rapidly back to the room which contained the altar and cauldron. What does he see?
[OOC: beyond simply looking about, does he happen to spot any glass vials? He is not focused on searching for this specific item, but, as a secondary and minor concern, will take note if one is readily apparent.]

The cauldron is gone, as is the altar. The bottles have vanished as well. All other items remain where they were left.

The mage called Hesh raises his hand and launches four magical darts at the ooze 10
The ooze quivers and drips through tears in its membrane, but it rallies and lunges at the spearman closest to it. 16 damage 6 Bludgeoning 19 Acid
Like Karl, the spearman is covered and collapses into a pile of slop.
With a bellow, Boyle lays into the ooze with the hilt and pommel of his longsword. 18 and 17
Damage: 4 and 7 bludgeoning.
Bolye takes 12 acid damage, and his sword looks ready to fall apart. It seems to wobble in his hands, and is deeply corroded.

And another spearman steps up to thrust into the mass 23
Damage: 2
The ooze quivers on the ground, barely intact but still clinging to life.

The party is now free to act out of initiative.
Guan Hao looks around for a towel.
