Just as you settle in for a rest, Morgana hears a scuffling sound from above.
Morgana - "ELMO, GREM, MOVE NOW!" she screams in a panicked voice.
Elmo and Gremryl hear Morgana's instruction and manage to react with just enough time to avoid being covered by a large-sized, Ochre Jelly that drops from the ceiling. It quivers with anger, and you suspect it's because it thought it would have the element of surprise on its side.
Gremryl abruptly wakes up.. weapons never far from his hands springs to his feet and says " by the blisters on Moradins feet.. this jelly snatched almost touched me!!"
You face off against a large gelatinous creature that looks to have complete control of it's fluid state.
Shuushar - "I know these beasts. They come to my village and try to take our livestock...and our children. You will have my knowledge of them as I recall their weaknesses."he says in an attempt to help his companions. Perhaps he feels ashamed of his inability to contribute with force. Perhaps he feels the Sea Mother guiding his actions to help these adventurers. Perhaps it's just a desire to get home in one piece. Home, he knows is tomorrow's reward. So close to home!
Buppido - "Out with it then! I hate pudding and this thing makes me want to puke. Ugh, I bet it would like that."he says through telepathic spores. Adding to Morgana only, "This is the only spore ability that I've learned. I've seen many more powerful spores before by the Sovereign's in my home. I...don't know if...I'm strong enough for them, however."
The mushroom indicates that it may be able to get some offensive spores going. Grem, can you some how bolster him to see if it helps him get in the fight?
To the pacifist: "well it's about damn time you started pulling your weight! Tell me something useful, right the **** now, or I'll solve my Jelly problem by feeding you to it and appeasing the beast!"
Shuushar - “It’s resistant to many magic spells, including lightning. I’ve seen you weild powerful lightning spells in our previous encounter with the Orc Raiders. That won’t help us here, unfortunately. There’s also the matter of it splitting. Although I’m not sure how it actually splits, it does have the ability to divide itself.”
Waiting for buppido to attack then its Elmo time. I suggest Grem is the only one who engages and we all sit back and bombard. Cool? Buppido is a deep gnome? Do we know his class?
Buppido decides that keeping his distance and using his crossbow is the safest course of action for this particular encounter. Taking aim he shoots and watches the bolt sink deep into the jelly's...stomach? Buppido isn't sure exactly what part of the jelly he hit, but as it pierces the creature, he does see it recoil a bit as if stung.
On the map, there are some rocks in the square adjacent to elmo. I would like to use my cunning action and hide behind those rocks and stealth. I would like to hold my action until Grem engages, then attack the jelly with a crossbow sneak attack. Ill handle the rolls now.
Ok, I'll use 2 sorcery points to enable quickened casting so I can cast two spells this turn. I'll try to freeze the damn thing solid so it can't divide by casting Snilloc’s Snowball Swarm twice right behind the ooze. It needs to make a dexterity saving throw (DC13) or take 25. It'll take half of that if it succeeds.
Elmo readies his next action and waits for the best time to strike out...when the jelly is pre-occupied with another target, Elmo will stealth to avoid being noticed. He aims his crossbow patiently...
Morgana summons forth a mighty chill in the form of very cute snowballs that pelt the jelly with unexpected force. Seeing the jelly recoil, and its quivering state in either irritation or frustration, it's clear that damage was dealt.

Elmo (+4): 6

Well, allright. Let the battle begin
OOC- looks like he's right up on me. Bastard!!
”not much I can be doing right about now aside from killing this foul thing!”

Good advice Shuushar! Your job isnt to fight, your job is to make sure your village doesn't kill us when we arrive! Stay safe friend!
I’m good with it!
