Are the acid-looking blobs actually oozes or just pools of acid?
By studying the map it seems that there is one strike team member (at pudding king) who's alive and up, then Narstin probably very hurt and prone (or some other condition). And three of the strike team are in the process of dying. Also seems like none of us have yet to lay eyes on the Pudding King and we don't exactly know what it is.
I have to do more venting about the die roller, after getting 3 more crappy rolls against the Pudding King. I should have listened to Skameros when he said he had a bad feeling about this combat.
I looked at the d20 rolls since post 4320 that were used in to-hit rolls for or against Beegred. Beegred made 32 attacks, and there were 40 attacks against him. I broke up the results into 4 bins, and the number in the parenthesis is the difference from the average expected.
The statues attacking Beegred had four 20s and four 19s, twice as many as expected. (Beegred only had one critical, and only because he was Hasted.)
Whining over... for now. Just a terrible time for the die roller to get on a bad-luck streak like this.

They hold their head in agony as their eyes and ears begin to bleed, before falling prone and unconscious once again.
Beegred thoughtfully asks, "Are you hurt?"

If you use a weapon in a way that it doesn't do the type of damage that it was designed for, then it will be considered an Improvised Weapon. It will do less damage, and will not benefit from to-hit bonuses. But it will still work.

Pretty good assessment. Sorry I didn't post the situation last night... my wife was being impatient. In any case, it is Beegred's turn.
I will be visiting family the next 4 days. I may be able to pop online quickly to keep things moving, but worse case I will be back next Tuesday.
Yeah Easter Weekend tends to do that sometimes :)

If I can map correctly that should be 80 feet of movement and put me within reach of the Pudding King for next round.

Yes, Skameros can hustle his big ass when he needs to

> Rodolfo is easily able to hit the new oozing form that was The Pudding King, but the cold of the spell seems to have no effect.
Was that "no damage, no slowing" or "yes damage, no slowing" ?
Noted. He'll be slowed.
Beegred thoughtfully asks, "Are you hurt?"

The pudding king is 10' up a wall now? Which means Skameros can still reach them?

With your reach, yes you can still hit him.
@Skameros: Sorry bud. I feel bad considering you didn't even want to fight oozes.
Can Skameros use the backside of his axe to make it a great club?

Pretty sure in RAW that makes it an improvised weapon. I can look it up to make sure... but yes, he can.
It's ok it was inevitable

Pretty sure I asked that before and was denied when we fought Oozes
Also I think his ooze greataxe is now broken

I'm at home with sick daughter today. Don't expect much posting from me.
You're good - I'm thinking of just throwing gnomes at the pudding king since they are yelling at Skameros
Should have just looked around town for a large piece of timber that could be considered a greatclub
