Oh, one other thing. The two attacks from the pudding against Kaylyn have corroded her studded leather armor enough that it is now ineffective and offers no protective benefit. Sorry Kaylyn. :(

Seeing the slime move away, and Kaylyn being struck again Pax rushes over next to her and tries to push her back, getting between her and the slime. Pax blasts the slime with and eldritch bolt. 3 + 16 for 3 damage

Rhayna will hold her action for now. She believes her companions may have gotten the hang of things. "See? It took a little bit, but my companions got it... I hope that you will honor your end of the bargain." She says to Glabbagool.

I'll wait for Kastix's action before proceeding, but in the meantime... Since Kaylyn is earlier in the initiative than Pax and Sekkar, and since Kaylyn's action is unashamedly going to deal lethal damage (unless Kastix decides to blast it first), I'll ask Pax and Sekkar if they want to redirect or change their actions.

Despite Rhayna trying hard to maintain control of the situation and keep everyone compliant with Glabbagool's wishes, Kaylyn loses her patience and blasts her attacker with more eldritch bolts, and it finally succumbs to the damage and breaks apart, with pieces floating away on the currents of rising water. With Pax continuing to place herself in harm's way in defence of the others, Sekkar turns his attention to the remaining pudding, which Kastix and Zeno continue to subdue with their efforts. Sekkar wades over to Zeno's side and attempts to place careful strikes that will damage but not destroy the ooze. With no internal structure to either target or avoid, it is a difficult task, and the lizardman continues to be burned by the acid for his troubles (taking 12 further damage). But eventually the agony of Dawnbringer's burning radiance seems to overwhelm the pudding's hunger, and it shrinks down to a formless black blob, submerged and flat on the floor of the room.
With two puddings destroyed and one apparently senseless, and with the water continuing to pour in from the eastern cleft and water levels now risen to waist height, Glabbagool speaks to Rhayna again:
I see that you also are burdened with mindless and disobedient followers, Rhayna. They have destroyed another, against your instructions. If you should choose to slay them, then my followers would be willing to consume their remains. However, I will understand if you elect to perservere with them - we must maintain patience with our inferiors despite their weaknesses, no? This last will submit to me when it recovers, of that I am certain. The two of them will feed and grow and divide and become four, and eight and more, and together we will attend the feast of our Lord when he confronts the Lady of Rot. But first I will fulfil my promise and direct you to the artefact that will prove the means of your salvation. Follow!
The transparent cube moves slowly down the southern corridor, pushing ponderously through the deepening water. At times the gelatinous form is almost impossible to see, and the drow skeleton and the black mace suspended within it look rather comical, as if bobbing along at the water's surface. Finally it squeezes through the southern door and enters the circular chamber in the heart of the temple.
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.
Only Kaylyn has seen this room previously, through Pensive's eyes, and it looks unchanged save for the water having risen higher. Still the fountain edge and the pulpit protrude above the water level, with the dark wand visible on the pulpit.
Glabbagool to Rhayna:
The wand is for you, Rhayna. With it you may transform stone into ooze, as did those who worshiped an ancient deity here long ago. Thus you may remove the blockages that prevent your escape, and by so doing you shall increase the number of my followers. Thus we help one another. Fear not, for the oozes that you create are easily dominated, and I shall ensure they do not harm you.
Pax sloshes into the room, looking around as the water continues to rise. She glances at the metal objects within the fountain, and at the wand, and looks to Rhayna, "What's the story here? We need to get out of here before we all drown...."

If Rhayna would have told her colleagues back at Candlekeep of the wand, they would have had a “field day” at her expense, and she would laugh at it herself as well. For the knowledge cleric nowadays though, it’s just another day in the Underdark.
Rhayna goes to the pulpit, and grabs the wand. “Friends, we have found what we have come here for.” She shows the wand to her companions, as she jumps off the stone fountain, and goes to the east side if the room. (I am taking that’s where the water is coming from?) She casts Identify on the wand.

Rhayna identifies the wand as the Wand of Ghaundaur, a unique artifact from an ancient cult.
(Let me know if the link doesn't work. I can't seem to add it to Rhayna's character sheet.)
The water in the fountain is green and filled with algae, but Pax can make out the shape of a dagger with a spider design on the hilt, two vials, three green-gold bracelets, and dozens of gold and silver coins.
Sekkar looked over Pax's shoulder "Drow's weapon. Mast be old, strange it did not rust out." He did not attempt to grab it, though, and joined the crowd staring at Rhayna. "Well, if this is what we were after, how about your friend shows us the exit?"
Kaylyn warily watches the ooze but her anger has waned a bit as the threats have disappeared.
At the mention of the drow weapon she moves up with Pax. She casts Detect Magic as she looks in the fountain "I say we grab that stuff and then get out of here. That look's interesting and we could use the money."
If Pax doesn't collect the items then she does so before going with the others. If nothing else happens she says "Let's go before we have to swim out of here."
"OK!! I am able to use the wand now, where should I start Glabbagool? Perhaps here?" Rhyana points the wand towards the eastern part of the cave, where the water seems to be coming in. She starts to get nervous about the rising water.

When Paz leaves the gold and the bracelets Kaylyn will take those items.
"Rhayna, I think we need to go back to the original tunnel we were following where the collapse occurred. You can use the wand to clear the tunnel and we can continue to passage we knew to reach the gnome city."
"Right!! Friends, let us get out of this place. I will follow you Kaylyn." Rhayna will follow Kaylyn back to where they came from. "Glabbagool, we are going back to the entrance of this temple, please follow us, and I will use the wand to get us out of here." Rhayna communicates with the transparent cube.

Kaylyn, angry and frustrated, continues to blast at any slime still attacking them and she does not care if she kills them or not.
