Sekkar STR save: 17

Rhayna STR save: 4

Rhayna did not expect the water to rush in, she’s caught by the wave and slams into the person behind her.

Pax strength save :     23     6  (Oops, forgot disadvantange and didn’t want a warning to there is my second roll)  

The water takes 10 cold damage from my armor of agathys as it pummels pax. :p 

Rhayna gets knocked off her feet (taking 10 bludgeoning) and gets pushed into Sekkar. The lizardman is far too accustomed to flowing water however, and not only keeps his footing but grabs Rhayna as she glides past, pulling her to her feet with one arm. Pax on the other hand gets swept off her feet (taking 10 bludgeoning), and as she submerges, the surrounding water turns cold and starts to form ice crystals.

Kaylyn is next in line, and has to roll with disadvantage to avoid Pax and the frigid icy water...

STR Save 1

Kaylyn goes swimming

Pax in her heavy armor crashes into Kaylyn and the two of them go rolling back into the room with the oozes, past the watching eyes of Kastix and Zeno. (Kaylyn takes 9 bludgeoning damage). The oozes in the room make no moves to harm anyone, and the water washes over them with no effect. The gelatinous blob seems oblivious to the chaos caused, and continues to move into the next corridor, silent to all except for the voice in Rhayna's head which babbles on continuously...

Voice in Rhayna's head:

Another short corridor follows, and again the water builds up in front of the cube, but it seems to have little trouble pushing forwards against the weight of it. And once again the wave is released when the cube passes into the next room, although this time the followers are wary and keep their distance.

More voice in Rhayna's head:

The cube stops in the center of the room for a moment, silent and motionless. After a few moments, several more dark shapes ooze out of the ceiling and walls, and congeal in the room beside the cube. Then gradually the cube moves on once more, slowly taking the next corridor with the oozes following behind, and the water building up in front...

Voice in Rhayna's head again: 

Pax gets up, swearing, and helps pick up Kaylyn.  "I'm so sorry, are you ok?"  As she picks her up, the cold dark shadows around Pax's hand seep into her, soothing the wound. Cure Wounds for 10 hps.  Dripping and looking more than a little embarassed, and a bit angry, Pax makes sure Kaylyn is ok, and then continues to move forward, the dark glimmering shadows still dancing around her form.  She walks behind the others, trying to see what's going on up ahead, "Hey, why are we following this thing?  MORE slimes?  Is this a trap? Should I be ready for a fight?"  She turns to Kaylyn near her and mutters, "Not that I'm not usually ready for a fight...it's just..."  her words trail off.  "Some answers back here would be nice!"

In a rushed voice Rhayna tells Sekkar. "Sekkar, please tell the others. It seems that the skeleton, or jelly, in front of us needs our help. It is able to control the oozes around us, but there are others ahead which it is not able to control. If we are able to help it, it in turn, will help us. It is saying that there is something ahead, an object maybe, that might help us both. How it will help us, I am not sure, but it seems we do not have much of a choice now."

She then addresses the Voice. "We stumbled into your domain by accident. We are actually trying to go home. Yes, we will try to help you as best as we can. As I stated earlier, if you are very hungry, I can tell you where you can find a lot of food, and you may have to hurry, for it might not be there for long..."

Rhayna reaches to her backpack and brings out her Journal. She tries to write as much as possible, drawing the skeleton/jelly in great detail, before going to the next room. "By the way, do you have a name which I can address you? My name is Rhayna."

(Is the communication with the Voice similar to Stool?)

"You should always be ready to fight here," remarked Sekkar, who indeed caught Rhayna and felt even refreshed a bit by the waterstream. "She said", he pointed at the priest concentrated on the mind-talk with the oozes, and made sure to tell it out loud in hope oozes do not understand normal speech. In the best traditions of "Kara-Tur Whispers" he continued translation of the silent conversation, "the slime wants our help. The big slime ahead controls the small ones, but there are others too that it does not control and we are going to them. We somehow help "it", and then "it" gives us something that helps us all. So we are heading to the slime pit right now." (that was his personal addition, though he did not specify) "If we fight - we fight now. Or risk it and go where more oozes are." 

Pensive flew overhead, launching into the air in time to avoid the tumble of Pax and Kaylyn as they fell into the water.  Getting to her feet, with the aid of Pax, she continues to follow more warily.  "Right, always ready to fight.  Not sure where we are goin or why but we really didn't have much choice as we couldn't go back.  Just watch for trouble."

('Kara-Tur Whispers'. Love it.)

Rhayna (but anyone can read, really) :

The next corridor is particularly long, and accompanied by the gray oozes, Glabbagool pushes against the water and makes slow but steady progress, while the group keep a safe distance to avoid being trapped again in any resulting wave. By the time it reaches the distant end, the water has built to a height of almost five feet, and the cube is having noticeable difficult making headway. But it finally slides out of the corridor into a room beyond, releasing the giant gush of water (which is avoided easily enough) and making the corridor safe to pass, albeit with now about two feet of water to wade through.

The room beyond is mostly divided into four long passageways and is floored with heavy flagstones. The walls here are carved with worn and faded bas-reliefs that show strange, swirling shapes that might be waves. Or perhaps tentacles. Part of the wall opposite the hallways has crumbled, and it is through this gash that the water gushes. There is enough water coming through that it must be originating from some nearby subterranean river, which the recent earthquake caused to breach the temple. Kaylyn recalls that a river was one of the next landmarks she was preparing to locate. The gap in the wall is large enough to fit through, but with the volume of water pouring through it would be difficult to traverse.

Pensive flies ahead through the hallways, unaffected by the depth of the water, and sees another room beyond an open doorway, images of which come mentally to Kaylyn. A stone fountain with a raised edge dominates the center of the room, with small metallic objects glinting in the brackish water inside. At the center of the fountain, the rubble of a broken statue rests atop a pedestal, with only a pair of clawed feet remaining, clutching the pedestal's top. In front of the fountain is a pulpit on which lays a curious-looking wand. The water level is not yet high enough to reach the pulpit or the water in the fountain. Around the room are seven niches, four of which contain strange, formless sculptures.

Glabbagool speaks to Rhayna:

Pax steps in front of the group, "Alright, seems easy enough, listen to the big slime monster, and help it kill other slime monster, and hope that it doesn't then make friends with them and they all try to kill us. Making deals like this seems the way in underdark.  I'll distract it. You all go ahead and try and kill the things. Let me know when you're ready and I'll advance down the northern most tunnel in advance, you guys can help me out." 

When everyone shows ready, Pax casts Blur on herself and boldly walks down the watery passage waiting for something to try and kill her.

Pax said it - the task itself was clear (even if outcome was not) and Sekkar did not need a special invitation to the fight. "Let's shad some light on it, shall we?" He hoped Dawnbringer - with all her strange behaviour lately - is also itching for another good fight. The lizardmen activated the blade and slid after Pax - as he recalled oozes did not care about light, but he did and searched to the hints of the future prey:

Perception: 32, Survival 14

Zeno awoke with water splashing in his face and sat upright, spluttering and spewing water.  He saw big welts on his body, and his face felt puffy.  Some kind of allergic reaction maybe?  Who knows, but where were the others?  He looked aoround, seeing the oozes hanging to the sides of the room, he jumped to his feet, blade out, and backed out of the room.  He heard voices from down the dark hallway of this place, and moved a quickly to try to rejoin the group, catching bits and pieces of conversation as he splashed down the hallway, passing jellies and oozes seeping from the walls. 

"Another day, another mess we find ourselves in," Kastix states as he prepares to cast a spell if danger present itself, keeping near the back of the pack.

Kaylyn tells Pensive to come back to her and while he does to share those images with the rest of the party.  She then readies herself as Pax makes herself the bait to lure whatever it is they were supposed to fight out.  While she waits she Detects Magic just to see what may be seen. 

Rhayna will hold her pendant, and pray to the Goddess. She will cast Bless on Kaylyn, Sekkar, and Pax if combat starts.

Wading carefully ahead through the knee-deep water, blurry Pax looks in all directions for any approaching enemies. Sekkar is more interested in the water below, and even ducks his head under to look around, while Kaylyn searches unsuccessfully for magical auras. Suddenly the lizardman stands upright and calls out a warning to Pax: the flagstones just a few steps in front are being ever-so-slightly jostled by the flowing water, as though they are not firmly attached to the floor but somehow suspended in place, perhaps by something lurking underneath...

Might be a good time to roll initiative. If you roll higher than either of the rolls below, then state your actions. At the moment all are aware that there is likely an ooze hiding under the flagstones, but it isn't currently visible. The loose flagstones cover a 10-foot stretch of the corridor, which is about five feet wide. Also the floor is under two feet of water, and is difficult terrain. Dawnbringer makes enough light for everyone to otherwise see clearly. The corridor is only wide enough for one at a time to fight, but others can pass. I have blurry Pax first, then Sekkar, Kaylyn, Rhayna, Kastix and Zeno. 

Glabbagool: 10
Unseen Ooze: 6

Pax Initiative : 4

Pax taps her heels together as a bonus action, and then walks forward to the edge of the loose stones, careful to lean back away so that if she falls her weight will carry her away from any potential pit.
