Lost Lab of Kwalish

ITs a round room with a rising hill of mud surrounded by water flowing through the chamber. 

Water drips from stalactites jutting from the ceiling of the natural cavern.  The muddy floor rises in the center of the room, water flowing around the island of mud deposited and washed away by the subterranean river.  Steam rises from the warm mud and drifts on the wind toward the far side of the cavern, where the water exits trough the gaps in the iron bars running horizontally across the opening, each set 6 inches from the next.

As you step onto the muddy shore, you feel there is solid earth beneath, but inches of mud, thicker at the edge of the island, allow your feet to sink, making tracks as you walk.  there are no other tracks present in the mud. 

Gravity uses a metal bar from the Thieves' Tools to loiter around the loose mud-pit and gives the warm area an experimental prod to see if she can detect the presence of objects or creatures.

Investigation 18

Tetrevess will ritual cast detect magic, and also use his wand of secrets] to help search the chamber.

investigation 16

Gravitys thieves tools make a squelched noise as they dig small holes ino the mud.  After some uneventful probing, Gravity hits a spot which starts to smoke with a sizzling noise.  Retracting rhe thieves tools, it's apparent they have started to melt.  They are damaged but could be repaired.  The hole poked in the mud quickly closes, but another opens just beside it, from which emanates a bright green light, joines an instant later by another, inches from the first.

Ooze Paraelemental Initiative 13

The steam around the room begins to coalesce into small concentrated clouds which take the form of winged creatures.

Gravity: Initiative 12

Tetrevess casts cone of cold on the ooze, steam mephits and the ceiling creepy thing if he can get them all into a cone. 

34 cold damage-  DC 19 dex save for half. 

he moves back away from the enemies.

((If anyone is within 5 feet of her target she would get a sneak attack))

Ana backs away from the enemies as much as she can and shoots two arrows at the para elemental.

((Attack: 13 Damage: 10 + Sneak attack 4

Attack: 16 Damage: 10 + Sneak attack 6 if the above attack missed))

Ana's arrows find their mark, but dizzle as they are consumed by the ooze. (DR unless they're magical, let me know)

Mephit 12

As yet unidentified slime on the ceiling 4

Paraelemental 18

The mephit, slime and Paraelemental are all caught off guard by the icy spell.  The mephit explodes in a cloud of steam, warming the air in a 10ft radius within the chilly cone.

Gravity (within 5 ft if the Paraelemental, she just poked it with thieves tools) and Sam are up. (I know he hasn't rolled initiative, but to keep the flow of the posts, just have all the Players go together at this point.

Gravity shifts into the bestial form of a Coyote when her wet locks of hair transforms into a mohawk that discharges electric spark. She wields the Flame Tongue Scimitar and slashes at the nearby paraelemental with the weapon twice.

Sam narrowly misses the amorphous creature. (Is that a magical weapon?)

Gravity's flame tongue strikes twice, cleaving deep into the Mass viscera of the creature.

The paraelemental responds with a Slam attack to both of its nearby aggressors
