The Strike Team member (@Q2) moves towards Skameros, cursing profusely in bad undercommon, "Fool! Blades cause oozes to split. Get out of our way, we can do this."
Beegred: "Hey buddy! Maybe it would be better not to split any oozes at all, instead of bragging that you are going to do it. "There are times to worry about glory and who gets credit, but maybe you should concentrate of ending the fight as soon as possible, without more of your buddies getting hurt."
Keeps an eye out for anything attacking from hiding, while shooting 2 more arrows at PKooze (with Hunter's Mark).
Attack1: 22 Damage: 7
Attack2: 19 Damage: 10

The Pudding King continues to spider climb up the stone wall, provoking an attack of opportunity from Skameros. Once 30 feet up off the cavern floor, it launches a pseudopod blob at the barely standing Strike Team member (@N2), knocking her prone and covering her in burning acid. They fall unconscious once again. As they succumb to the attacks once again, The Pudding King telepathically beckons, "Be one with the Faceless Lord! Let yourselves be eaten and disgorged."
Skameros is conflicted with what just transpired with the yelling at him and then them dying and such that he does not take his AoO as he looks at his broken greataxe and drops the corroded pieces to the ground.
In undercommon he will yell back at the Pudding King "Faceless lord lives in a goblin butt" and shakes a hairy fist at them.
Orubis runs over and stabilizes the Strike Team member (@N2), neutralizing the acid and saving their life once again. All around The Pudding King, vines and spikes sprout.
Skameros rages and curses at The Pudding King, who responds, "The Faceless Lord doesn't live in goblin butts! He consumes goblin butts!"
Narstin sits, carefully trying to clear away goo from his damaged eyes, using his gooey damaged hands.
Strike Team member (@Q3) rages as The Pudding King is out of their reach. They throw a rock, which does some, but very little damage.
Thurnir shoots his crossbow again, successfully hitting the ooze clinging to the wall.
Rodolfo fires another volley of magic missiles, which unerringly slam into the ooze.

From Beegred's perch on the stone stool at the foot of the stone throne, he fires two arrows. The first ricochets off the throne, but Crom seems to intervene and the arrow strikes The Pudding King anyway.
As both arrows slam into the oozing form of The Pudding King, it jovially announces, "So many of you to consume. I think I shall invite some guests of my own for this banquet". You all see as The Pudding King drags itself across the thorny vines of Orubis's spell to a difficult to see fissure, where it begins to enter the cavern wall itself.
Suddenly, the ghostly head of Ghost Warden Jaeger pops out of the cavern wall and looks at The Pudding King quizzically. It them mimes a big fisted punch as it says in Gnomish, "Now, none of that. You wanted to stay here, then stay here." Out of the fissure, a giant stone fist slams into and pushes The Pudding King away from the wall and it falls to the cavern floor below (to @R3).
A giant earth elemental emerges to stand next to The Pudding King (@R4/S5) and Ghost Warden Jaeger floats into the massive creature.
(I will update the map ASAP, but for now you can continue if you can follow the descriptions. Orubis's turn, followed by Skameros)
Orubis moves to stand next to Skameros (@O4) and hands the bugbear a pair of magical stones, then throws one himself which flies wide of the intended target.
(If throwing the stones, Skameros makes an attack with a +6 to-hit modifier)
Skameros successfully flings both stones into the oozing mass of The Pudding King, which cause the ooze to sizzle where they strike. The Pudding King reaches out to telepathically to Skameros, "Oh, those taste awful. Come closer and let me get a taste of you."
Narstin continues to try to clear out his damaged eyes, yelling out "What be happening? Tell me so I may be of help."
The Strike Team member next to the Pudding King picks up a large stone and slams it down onto the oozing form, getting splashed with acid for his efforts. With gritted teeth as they bear the pain, they speak to the elemental creature, "Barrow Warden! This must be OUR victory. It must be known Blingdenstone can stand on its own."
While the Strike Team member speaks, Thurnir hits The Pudding King again with another crossbow bolt.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Beegred doesn't speak Gnomish, but he can guess from the tone what that strike team member was saying to ghost judge. "Don't mind that idiot, and keep doing what ya doing. He is putting his ego and thirst for glory ahead of the lives of his buddies."
Beegred isn't sure if this ooze has Corrosive Form (splashes acid when attacked) or if it is like other oozes... time to find out. He puts away his bow, draws the magic sword, moves to Q1, and pokes twice. (Still has Hunter's Mark.)

Two magic missiles weave through the cavern, deftly missing all the friendly combatants and slams into The Pudding King.
Beegred drops his bow on the throne as he moves past it, drawing his drow made short sword from its sheathe. Moving up to The Pudding King, he stabs it twice. The wounds splatter sloppily and Beegred's arms get covered in acid (for 9 acid damage).
The Pudding King once again telepathically broadcasts to everyone, "I shall be back soon. So much to feast on, it would be unkingly of me to not share with my subjects. Eat ya later!". The Pudding King disengages and moves to the northern wall (@R0), but he is repelled as another familiar voice speaks out, "Friends! I have found where the King lairs. Oh dear! It appears things have come to blows..."
A large Gelatinous Cube emerges and forces The Pudding King back (to @R2). The Pudding King retorts, "My subject! Feast on these offerings from The Faceless Lord!"

Orubis moves to N2 and casts Spare the dying, then looks up and casts spike growth along the ceiling surrounding the Pudding King.

Beegred normally likes to conserve his arrows for emergencies, but this seems like the time to use them. Continues shooting arrows at PKooze.
(If he wasn't Lucky, he would have missed twice. He continues cursing Crom.)

He says, "Narstin! It's us! We're battling the ooze that is the pudding king. Heal yourself first before you continue help others!"
