"Glabbagool!"

Orubis enchants more magic stones and throws one at the PK

Attack: 13 Damage: 7 

Skameros looks around and picks up some more stones to throw at the Pudding King

[Stone: 18 Damage: 2]

[Stone: 6 Damage: 3]

Orubis magically enhances three more stones and throws one at The Pudding King, causing the oozing form to sizzle where the stone hit.

As Orubis stands with magic stones in hand, Skameros decides to pick up bigger specimens at his feet.  He throws two of them, but only one hits The Pudding King, and it doesn't have the satisfying sizzle of the magic ones. (This is flavor to represent it did less damage, as an improvised attack.)

Narstin replies to Rodolfo, "Rodolfo!  Thank goodness, you be coming to help even if it be never your fight.  There be good in your heart.  Good thing, because I be spent.  Not even a trickle left to be helping myself."  The relief at the needed help is enough to let the poor cleric take a breather, as he lets himself lie down for a much needed pause.

The Strike Team member next to the Burrow Warden Jaeger Elemental duo cries out, "Burrow Warden!  This needs to be our kill." as he slams the stone in his fist into the oozing form of The Pudding King and gets burned by splashing acid once again...

The voice of Burrow Warden Jaeger responds, "No, it does not need to be.  I trained you to fight flesh and blood foes.  Fighting oozes requires different equipment and different tactics.  You are simply killing yourself striking at this one.  Step back and and attack from a distance, or better yet, round up your squad and return to the safety of Blingdenstone before you become trapped here."  With that, the massive fists of the elemental slam into The Pudding King.

(Thurnir and then Rodolfo's turns)

Thurnir says “I don’t be thinkin my plinkin is doing much good.  Mayhap try a different thing..”. He BA casts magic weapon on his crossbow and then tries shooting- to see if it does any more damage On the PK ooze.

19 to hit

12 magical piercing damage.

6 damage retyped..

Rodolfo shoots off more magic missiles for 12 force damage and asks Narstin, "What happened here before we arrived?"

(Ok weird.. can we ignore my second damage roll- I like the first one better!-  DDB was being  funky last night) 

Rodolfo blasts The Pudding King yet again with a salvo of magic missiles.  The oozing form shudders at the multiple impacts.

Thurnir casts magic weapon on his crossbow, then sends another bolt into the Pudding King.  This time, instead of the ooze dissolving the bolt, the bolt first dissolves some ooze before losing its magic and melting away.

Narstin replies to Rodolfo, "The bastard be some kind of wizard or sorcerer.  And he be having two oozes he be calling Princess Ebonmire and Prince Livid.  We be fighting those two outside.  They be brutal and be killing two of our team.  I couldn't be keeping everyone safe...  Then we be coming in here, and it be starting to rain slime on our heads and equipment.  The bastard be calling in a wave of oozes, and Grithik be running off taunting them away from us.  The spells, the oozes, the slimes, it be just too much."

Glabagool responds to Skameros, "Friend!  I sense hostility here.  How may I help resolve this?"  To which, The Pudding King retorts, "JUST EAT THEM.  FLESH FOR THE FACELESS GOD!"

(Beegred's turn)

Beegred will Disengage, put away his sword (free action), and move back to L3. Next next round he will be ready to attack with the bow.

(Crom allowed the PK to roll extremely well on that splash acid damage, which is annoying and potentially life threatening.)

The Pudding King's oozing form looks much reduced in size from the incessant pummeling it is taking.  It telepathically taunts everyone, "Primitives!  The Faceless Lord will not let me be ended.  Accept defeat.  Be consumed and join your flesh to us."

This proclamation is followed up by a deafening mental blast, "My subjects!  Heed my call and come feast with your King!  To me!"

The background noise of thousands of oozes of all kinds telepathically blasting "FLESH FOR THE FACLESS GOD!" at random intervals suddenly coalesces into a singular blast from a thousand telepathic voices in unison, "FLESH FOR THE FACELESS GOD!".

After a moment, you can all faintly hear cheering from hundreds of gnomish voices in the distance.

(Orubis and Skameros's turns)

Rodolfo says, "Narstin, get up, we need to get going very very soon. Hold on to my shoulder.. Lets see if we can get a volley or two in before we need to run for our lives... and whatever comes after."

Quote from Kerrec >>

The background noise of thousands of oozes of all kinds telepathically blasting "FLESH FOR THE FACLESS GOD!" at random intervals suddenly coalesces into a singular blast from a thousand telepathic voices in unison, "FLESH FOR THE FACELESS GOD!".

After a moment, you can all faintly hear cheering from hundreds of gnomish voices in the distance.

Beegred: "How can there be that many gnomish idiots who are cheering and supporting puddles of slime?"

Orubis conjures more stones for he and Beegred, throwing one at PK

Attack: 9 Damage: 4 

Skameros looks around and sees the bleeding Big Red back off and moves over to him and tries to shove a Potion of Greater Healing down his throat (4d4 + 4 healing)

"No time to die Big Red....Glabbagool is here!"

Then to his Gelatinous friend he says "Yes very hostile here, Pudding King started all of this, we trying to stop him before he stop us..."  and he'll point at the Pudding King.

Orubis conjures another batch of magic stones and throws one.  It appears to be off the mark, but it ricochets off the large elemental to strike the pudding king, where more ooze sizzles and evaporates.  

Skameros moves back to shove a healing potion down Beegred's gullet for 15 healing.

Narstin begins to heave himself to his feet, reaching out to put what's left of a hand on Rodolfo's shoulder.

At the words of Burrow Warden Jaeger, the strike team member's spirit seems to break.  They carefully disengage from The Pudding King and limp away towards one of their other unconscious team members, ready to help them up or carry them if necessary.  They mumble, "Blingdenstone will never stand on it's own.  The drow destroyed the city once.  Now it is oozes.  We're too weak to defend our own home."

Glabagool responds to Skameros, "I can swallow my King and hold him for a short time.  Or take him somewhere.  Maybe if all of you have time to calm down, you can try to be more civil next time you meet?"

(Thurnir and Rodolfo's turns)

Thurnir grunts “yer gonna die, puddin king”  and shoots his crossbow again 24 to hit.

10 magical piercing damage if hit.

Rodolfo shoots a ray of frost at the pudding king: Attack: 12 Damage: 8, hopefully to slow it down even if it doesn't do a lot of damage.

He will then very carefully direct Narstin towards the exit to the south (as far as they can get).

Thurnir and Rodolfo's attacks continue to batter the diminishing form of The Pudding King ooze.  Even as The Pudding King seems to be much diminished, it continues to repeat itself, "The Faceless Lord will not let me perish.  Succumb to fate and join your flesh to us!"

The mental cacophony that is thousands of oozes randomly shouting "FLESH FOR THE FACELESS GOD!" is becoming louder in your minds.

Rodolfo leads a limping Narstin away to the south.

(Beegred's turn) 

Beegred thanks Skameros for the 15 healing from the potion.
(He wasn't in imminent danger of dying. But if the die roller kept going high for each 1d8 acid splash per hit, that would change in 1 or 2 rounds. That's why he went back to using the bow.)

He mutters that if the gnomes spent more time fighting the oozes, instead of cheering when they hear that silly mental mantra, they wouldn't need so much help.

Also: "Glabby-baby, this PudKing is a creature like us, who is pretending to be an ooze to convince your formless buddies to do battle... After we put him down, maybe you can eat his powers from his corpse, and lead the oozes away to a peaceful place."

After talking about peace, love, and understanding, Beegred shoots 2 more arrows to try to kill the PKooze.

• Attack1: 10 Damage: 11
• Attack2: 12 Damage: 13
