As Warx is about to continue his discussion with Mordecai he hears and sees the crashing spire. He turns his attention to where Valentine is pointing and notices the oozing creature heading for the next cog. "Let us keep after it before the ground shifts again and we lose our opportunity." Moving forward, he draws his flail and whip and prepares to fight with spell and weapon if needed.
'' Could this be a murderer in this realm... oil is blood, blood means a kill, a kill means there's more people here that does this kind of stuff...Maybe? '' Valentine say in a inquisitive tone as she wander with her friends, looking over her shoulder to make sure if someone is following them.
"It wasn't a proper execution, at the very least. Much cleaner here. Murder not impossible, however. Only outsider involvement." Yolov commented on in his usual half-distracted matter.
'' Guys, guys...guys. Look over there! Uh...What is that...? Ooze? ''
Valentine tries to get the fellow wizards attention on the amorphous creature, she tug carefully in Yolov clothing.
Yolov starts out of another tangent from the noise, but had been quick to start right back into it until Valentine started clutching him. "Ooze? Curious. Had anticipated Rust Monster. Delightful little things." He admitted, patting Valentine absently on the head. Afterwards at Wrex's behest, he gives his staff a few shakes now at minute intervals causing it to glow with a static, grey-green light, and restructure itself into a 'perfectly' geometric rectangle. "But this one moves with intelligence? Purpose? Hm! A sample would be nice. Could be realm cleaner as well. But unlikely. Too unstructured. Faster Pace is approved." Yolov starts to jogging, even if that means jogging ahead of the pack in his haste.

Not sure what the grey blob obscured by the light might be, Mordecai follows behind Bankahn. He mentally reviews to see if he has heard of creatures like this from his time among the denizens of the underdark.
While this thing isn't a ooze, there are some book references you recall from reading within Mordenkainen's Library. Some chaoskin are known to be completely formless when they are born, taking time to adapt to their surroundings before taking a more permanent shape. This could be one of these formless spawn.
The group moves to catch up to the amorphous creature. As they do, they see that the shape seems to wobble slightly as a mouth appears on the top of it, consuming the remainder of the wing that is sticking out. As they get close (within 100 feet), it seems to sense them, stopping its advance as an unnatural screech is heard, though no oraface seems to have made that noise.
ROLLING INITIATIVE!
How I will handle initiative:
I will roll initiative for all participants in a single post to save time. A second post will be added with the initiative list in order.
If your turn is before the next DM-controlled character (NPC, monster, etc.), then please post your turn.
If you do not post within 24 hours of your turn becoming available, the DM will control your turn, attempting to keep within line with how you have acted up to that point.
If the DM has taken control of your PC, you regain control of your character again when you post again in the thread.
If you are unsure if it is your turn, your name in the initiative will be in bold.
Scenario: The area is currently open, a smooth flat surface ahead. The Chaos spawn is 100 feet away from the closest of the group (varied from 100 to 120 feet away. If you have speed below 30 feet, assume you are 120 feet away). It is brightly lit.
The Chaos Spawn slides along the ground at a fast pace (50 feet closer) as its front appears to sharpen as dozens of short spikes protrude out of it, like spears readied at its front.
Bankahn raises his sword defensively as he slowly advances on the Chaos Spawn, moving 30 feet closer to it and readying himself to dodge out of the way of any attack it makes.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Coseris sees the creature move closer from 120ft down to 70ft and smiles as it has come within range for him to be able to cast Hex upon it as a bonus action Choosing Dexterity to impose disadvantage on checks made. Then hurl a fire bolt at it as well for his attack action, then will move 15ft to his left and 5ft forward to get out of direct line with the creature.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Not sure if he should trust his Illusion magic yet, Warx moves to within 60' of the creature so it is in range of his Acid Splash, then lets loose the spell at it. "Sizzle and burn, Oozie!" he remarks as the acid flies at the being.
If the creature fails it's DEX save: 5 Acid Damage
Yolov moves closer (30ft), but at an angle to avoid being clumped up with the others(at least 15 if possible), and holds up his staff in a defensive maneuver (Dodge). "If I may, Coseries? Though I dislike repeating proven experiments, might we replicate the 'Star Burst' experiment?" As if to remind him, Yolov pulls free one of his Oil (flask)s and gives it a few shakes.
Mordecai stomps forward, Maul held ready. Not sure what the rest of the party plans to do, he readies himself, shifting his armor into a more comfortable position. "Come on then, tubby." He mutters under his breath.
Mordecai advances thirty feet towards the creature, holding his action to take a swing with his Maul once within striking range.
Keegik fishes a piece of leather out of his pocket, and speaks an incantation over it. Suddenly, the leather begins to stretch longer and longer, and it wraps around his body, forming a protective armor that glows with mystic energy.

Valentine keeps her distance away from it, she dont want to engage in battle and skip her turn but mostly investigate it behavior and just watches the other take on the fight. Trying to recall some lore, history and such from what she might know?

Coersis unleashes a hex upon the blob of a beast, hindering its dextrous capabilities. However, the fire hurled after flies wide and bounces off of the metallic ground.
Jooor steps forward with weapons at the ready, now 20 feet away and ready to evade any blows it may do.
Mordecai moves forward (25 feet, since he's a dwarf, not 30 feet) and is ready to strike should the monster get within his heavy weapon's reach. (25 feet away from the monster)
Vax hurls a divine bolt towards the monster, but its mutable form evades the glistening arrow of force.
Warx hurls a mote of acid into the vicinity of the creature in an attempt to dissolve it. Dexterity Saving Throw (DC 13):20 The acid splatters into the creature of chaos, as its metallic looking hide seems to contort and gain a slight green tint to it. (Chaos Spawn: 5 damage.)
Yolov steps forward and to the side (we'll go with 25 feet forward, and 10 feet away from the group), retrieving a flask of [Tooltip Not Found] and prepares to dodge anything that comes their way.
Valentine keeps towards the back, trying to decipher any additional information about the being. However, nothing new springs to mind. (Not sure what the dex save is for)
Keegik wards himself with a Mage Armor, enhancing his defences in preparation of the fight.
Scenario: The Chaos Spawn is 20 feet ahead of Jooor, Mordecai 5 feet behind Joor. Yolov is 10 feet to the side of Mordecai, and everyone else is 25 feet behind that.

Bankahn nods. Moving much more carefully than previously, he draws his massive greatsword and follows Warx.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Keegik unstrings his large book from his back and opens it, flipping through it in preparation. He shoves the string down into one of his pockets.
