Killian takes the slam from the ooze extrusion and half falls/dismounts off her horse. Shaking her head she stands firm with her shield, while incanting dark words again!
Move: the half fall was for flavor, that was a lot of damage! She will use a half move to dismount, and then leave the horse to do what it will.
Action: cast Chill Touch at the ooze while averting her gaze for Disadvantage. 24 to hit, for 12 necrotic damage and it can't regain hp until the start of Killian's next round.
Possible Reaction: As last round, (unless the last time the ooze seemed to benefit from the fire, or seemed unharmed by it) if Killian is hurt by the ooze, she will use her Reaction to cast Hellish Rebuke using a 4th level slot for 17 fire damage, or half on a Dex Save vs DC 16.

Roaring in frustration Gruun will hastily attempt to find his Javelin that he has packed somewhere in his bag. He'll keep his ground and use the Javelins to poke at the rolling blob.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Hox huffs as his fight or flight just saved him from a close encounter. "Is beast big? Beast sound big!" He aims for where he once was, hoping for the best with eyes shut.
OOC: Adding +9 to all of Aradurk's rolls (the extra d4 isn't needed for any to hit).
Gruun must drop his greataxe into the swamp in order to draw and attack with a javelin in the same turn, so I'll assume that he is doing so (the greataxe can be picked up with a free interaction on a future turn).
Tanakir's first attack will be at advantage thanks to Aradurk's distracting strike.
DM Screen:

Swamp Ooze DEX Save (last turn's Hellish Rebuke): 4 Shilellagh Club vs. Swamp Ooze (Advantage-Distracting Strike): Higher of 24 or 23

As Killian rights herself and catches her breath, her finger extends and fire erupts upon the swamp ooze, roiling over its form; the wretched smell of burning swamp fills the air, and the paladin uses her newly found powers as a sorcerer to send another spectral hand into the ooze, continuing to eat away at the massive creature.
Gruun finds his javelin to be more effective at fighting the creature, though his first strike doesn't pierce the ooze's outer flesh. Tanakir smashes away wide swaths of the ooze, and Hox uses the opportunity to fire an arrow directly into the opening, causing the being to nearly collapse in that spot.
Aradurk launches a furious volley at the ooze's opposite side, all six arrows landing and piercing through its flesh. Rycider pulls his mount away just in time, as the swamp bubble extends itself toward the half-orc as he fires. With his feet slowed by the thick muck, he is unable to avoid being engulfed by the creature, and it pulls him into its center, restraining him within view. Inside, he feels his muscles begin to seize.
Round 3 Order: Players <===== Swamp Ooze
Placement: Aradurk is engulfed within the swamp ooze and restrained. He can use an action to make a STR check at disadvantage to escape. Gruun, Hox, Killian and Tanakir are engaged in melee combat with the swamp ooze (15 foot range). The swamp is difficult terrain. All characters are in movement range of the ooze.
Tracking: The swamp ooze is badly wounded.
Aradurk is lightly wounded. Hox is lightly wounded Killian is lightly wounded. Tanakir is lightly wounded.
Aradurk starts to huff and puff inside the ooze. He will start trying to contract and expand his chest, arms, and legs in place until he times out when we will try to make a concerted effort to break free. Strength Check: 20
OOC: just rolling with a STR check - you don't factor Athletics in right? LMAO - nvm - 20 with disadvantage....
Killian smiles to herself as the pain from her bludgeoning finally registers. Seeing how Gruun's sharp axe did nothing, she keeps her sword sheathed, and once again calls on the dark shadows of the grave.
Move: nope, she will stay within the 15' belle range of the creature.
Action: cast Chill Touch at the ooze while averting her gaze for Disadvantage. 14 to hit, for 18 necrotic damage and it can't regain hp until the start of Killian's next round.
Possible Reaction: As the previous rounds, if Killian is hurt by the ooze, she will use her reaction to cast Hellish Rebuke using a 4th level slot for 12 fire damage, or half on a Dex Save vs DC 16.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Aradurk CON Save: 17
Aradurk wrenches himself free, his hands pulling the rest of his unmoving body forward, and he exits the ooze as Killian sends another skeletal hand streaking past him into the mass. Gruun almost has his javelin torn from his hands as it sticks into the ooze; his next stab causes the creature to begin to retract and quiver uncontrollably.
Tanakir's club, glowing with otherworldly strength, hammers into the ooze's form. The creature becomes bulbous and distended, desperately trying to escape the foes it underestimated. The club strikes again, and the massive bubble in the swamp explodes. Clumps of thick, goopy swamp rain down upon the party.
Rycider sends healing into Aradurk, healing the bruises sustained in the battle, but it appears to come too late. The thick remnants of the swamp ooze cling to the half-orc, congealing and hardening. His lower half is locked in place, quickly turning to stone. His arms slow, almost freezing in place. Then, with a mighty roar, Aradurk breaks free. Half-formed stone shatters into pieces.
Killian stands tall and gathers her hair, pushing it behind her shoulders. "Now we know what happened to these warriors," she indicates the lizard-taurs. "We should proceed."
She gathers her horse from Rycider with a nod, "Thank you." Then she mounts up.

As the remains of the swamp ooze pool away and subside, so too does the marshland around it. The thick, murky water slowly thins out and begins to roll away, and dry ground appears centered where the swamp ooze fell.
Laying in the ground where the gargantuan creature was slain is a collection of items. Pieces of metal, small gears, and screws glint in the setting sun. Beside them is a piece of crystal that looks to match the staff that Wes has been studying aboard the Maverick. Laying beside it is a Staff of the Magi; its potent magic has kept it from being dirtied at all by the water that now runs easily off of it.
Hox eagerly starts to pick the various pieces of scrap metal, based upon how shiny it is. "Want this...want this...and this. Not want rock on stick." Hox passes the staff as he views it as a rock on a stick.
"We should take the crystal back to Wes," Killian says. "After we tell the guardian what happened to his mate." While Hox and others look at the remnants the ooze left behind, she will walk her horse over to the stone figures, looking them over for anyone who might fit the bill.

The ground around you continues to dry, as if the liquid held on the island is fleeing to the outer edges. With the threats gone, Killian studies each of the figures nearby. Half are women and half are men; all look much younger than the ancient creature you found in the cave pit in the island's center. If the eldest centaur here were the ancient's mate, it's likely they met their stony end many years in the past.
OOC: Looks like Hox is taking the gears and screws. Let me know who is taking the rest.
"Should we leave them like this? This feels like an empty resting place for soldiers, locked in a moment of their deaths to relive over and over again", Aradurk posits for the group.
