"Ok, let me take a look, then we can continue." Taman says. He casts detect magic as a ritual, then looks into each room as well.

Even without clarifying his intentions, between the look in his eyes and Taman perhaps settling in to begin weaving magic, Three could tell they'd be standing around for at least for a good while again. So it would come as no surprise when she sighed softly and nodded in half-grudging acceptance. "Well, while you're doing that Mr. Taman, I'M gonna try to get this other door open in the meantime. That way, we can kinda kill too birds with one stick!"

Without waiting for further confirmation, the Chimera made her way over to the door Thistle had trouble with last, took a deep breath while sliding into a readying stance, and then tried throwing her full weight into the left door!

Athletics: 21.

Taman uses Detect Magic on the 3 rooms, but does not notice anything magical in there. Three getting bored waiting for Taman to complete his ritual goes over to the other door and stares it down for a moment, then with a huff, shoulders the door open. 

The door gives way grudgingly, revealing a low chamber of dressed stone. This chamber is filled with what appears to be rotten food - barrels of salted meat gone bad, sacks of flour or grain covered in russet-colored mold, turns of cider turned to vinegar.

Two open archways in the east wall lead to a similar room, and two more openings are dimly visible beyond. The floor just past the first archway gleams wetly, probably due to all the condensation in the room, or fluids from all the rotting food.

 Mould! Not again. Thistle tells everyone to keep back while he throws something into the mould from a safe distance "I remember one of the first critters we encountered after I join the group was poisonous exploding mould."

Three kinda gives Thistle a funny look, before then suddenly gasping and going "Ooooh" at some epiphany that'd come to mind. "That's a very good point. I think Bone Daddy might've been from those two.... Huh! You learn something new every day, and remember something new... also every day." She grins down at the gnome, prior to then glancing over to see if anything came his throwing presumably some debris into the room.

If nothing does, she simply looks back down at Thistle and shrugs. "Worth a shot! Let's start with the other one first for the whole walky part, and come back to this one." She suggests, before with belated grudgingness, settled into to wait for Taman. As soon as she's given the all clear though, she more than happily and briskly heads down the Right doors path and into the adjoining rooms beyond searching for points of interest.

Thistle grabs something from his backpack to throw into the room at the mold. Nothing happens, except that the item gets a little dirty. Three then embarks into the rooms on the right inspecting everything. When Three comes out of the rooms, she exclaims, "There's nothing in that one!!!"

Once done with the previous rooms Taman looks into the food one with his detect magic still active.

Taman looks into the next set of rooms, and does not detect anything magical in there.

Taking Taman's lack of finding anything magical as her cue, Three takes a deep, deep breath and holds onto it, before then walking into the moldy room. She only lingers in there so long though, mildly tempted to have a closer look at the mold; but, she stays true in the end to the goal of checking out the other rooms beyond them. Just a quick look around to see if anything of interest could be found even the more dimly lit room.

As Three steps into the archway leading to the second archway, what appeared to be a wet patch on the floor, suddenly twists like a snake and grows in size to completely fill the 2 rooms beyond the archway and 2 long pseudopods lunge towards her! 

Ooze -
Pseudopod Attack: 14 Damage: 40 Acid damage.
Pseudopod Attack: 12 Damage: 39 Acid damage.

INITIATIVE:

Rivon - 24 <===
Three - 20 
Taman - 20 
Durlan - 14 
Thistle - 10 
Ooze - 1 

<rude word>

That damage is instant kill for Thistle

"Run away! Seriously people... RUN...A...WAY!"

Rivon, briefly terrified by the snakelike manifestation, steadies himself (Steady Aim) and fires at what he believes to be the center of this...thing.

Sharpshooter Shortbow + Sneak Attack with advantage from steady aim:
Attack: 20 Non-magical Piercing Damage: 30

Rivon, shaking in his boots, takes careful aim at this giant Ooze that formed in front of Three. The arrow finds its mark and Rivon watches as, instead of passing through this thing, the arrow dissolves as it sticks in the Ooze.

INITIATIVE:

Rivon - 24 
Three - 20 <===
Taman - 20 
Durlan - 14 
Thistle - 10 
Ooze - 1 

"Hey, you ate my arrow!"

Though hardly intimidated by its size, even Three started to look nervous after seeing the near instant destruction of the arrows. And to think, if she had but been but a second too slow moments before in evading its attack....

"R-right! Don't think we'll be making a meal of this one." With that, the chimera for once willingly retreated from the combat, risking her own hide if need be just to ensure she'd reach the halfling in time enough to scoop Rivon up during the retreat! Though failing that, she'd actually look a touch frantic, before turning back to face the giant creature, drawing Giant's Might in preparation for the throw down.

Movement: To Rivon, taking an AO in the process(I think 10ft) away from Ooze.

Action: Pick up/Grapple Rivon(if need be). If resisted, here's the Contesting Rolled: 15.

Movement(remaining): Another 15ft away from the creature, before releasing grapple.

(S/N: If above action fail, presume she stays put, interposing herself between Rivon and the Ooze.)

Rivon goes ragdoll as Three scoops him up, allowing himself to be easily grabbed as Three implements her tactical retreat.

Three turns and runs from the Ooze and grabs Rivon (Rivon is so shocked to see Three running from the Ooze and goes limp as Three grabs him) to run 25 feet away, dropping Rivon and grabbing Giant's Might to stand at the ready to attack the Ooze if it comes closer.

The Ooze launches a pseudopod at Three as she runs away.

Pseudopod Attack: 13 Damage: 4 Acid damage.

INITIATIVE:

Rivon - 24 
Three - 20 
Taman - 20 <===
Durlan - 14 
Thistle - 10 
Ooze - 1 

If someone is down, Taman will cast healing word on them, healing them for 4
With this he will also cast ray of frost targetting th eooze...
To hit: 26 Damage: 10

Ifno one is down, he will instead cast Bless at 3rd level, and casting on the entire party, up to five people.

Thistle "So we're fighting it? I really need a range weapon because I'm not sticking my sword in that thing just to watch it dissolve."

"No good, it eats arrows!"
