"How exciting! Tracking an unknown creature type through gnomish caves in service of the kings!" Kwisatz saying, following along. He'll help Rush with their investigations as well.
As you pursue the creature, Kwiz catches up to Rush, with Sael not far behind, and Oban ensuring they're not snuck up on from behind. You reach the room where Pog and Ulla stopped you before, and the two of them are knocked out, laying over each other in a heap at the bottom of the overlook they were once guarding from.
Rush, with the help of Kwiz, roll investigation with advantage.
You don't find much. All Rush & Kwiz are able to see is that the ground looks particularly clear of dust and sediment compared with the rest of the cave.
Sael makes it in behind Rush and Kwiz, and also searches the room for any signs of the creature's whereabouts. "Someone may want to check on the guards."

After a few moments of everyone looking and listening for more clues and finding nothing, there is a bulge on the eastern cave wall that no one noticed before, but it starts to undulate and move. As the bulge moves, you all notice that there is a shape of a boomerang that you didn't see at first, but it's starting to take shape.
Then, out of nowhere, a rope-like projectile lashes out at Sael. Attack: 14 Damage: 11 Bludgeoning Damage
Sael was very seriously hurt.
By the time the creature finishes attacking Sael, it has formed and this is what you see:
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(I was going to say that the mimic was going to attack a random player, as a follow-up to it's surprise attack, but, as injured as Sael is, it makes the most sense from a story/RP perspective for it to attack Sael, again. That's where the manipulated dice roll message is coming from.)
The mimic lashes out again with it's pseudopod at Sael: Attack: 20 Damage: 9 Bludgeoning Damage. The mimic misses Sael.
Oban's turn is next. ((I'll give each of you some time to take your turn, like normal, but in order to keep things moving, I'll take your turn for you if we don't hear from you.))

Kwisatz looks towards it and gasps "Fastinating!" he says, and starts to pull out a sketch book, before realizing that it has hurt his companion. He instead does a small gesture with his hand as a skeletal hand floats from it towards the Mimic.

Nothing out of the ordinary happens. The bridge shifts, slightly, in response to Rush's weight.

With a 15 Investigation roll, Rush notices a faint liquid trail of some sort leading back into the room where the gnome guards were at.

Sael investigates the room, 6 and turns to ask everyone to be quiet for a moment to see if they can hear or sense anything moving. "Shh, listen."
