Luxaenefails to supress a shudder at the convulsing forms of the slimes. She flexes her grip on magic as lights shimmer around her hands as she prepares for conflict...
The still-forming slime still appears to be amassing arcane energy! However, the active slime is slow to act - each of you may take a turn to act, in any order you prefer!
There are two slimes - Hush and Lazarus are near the one that is still forming, and the other one is around thirty feet away. The rest of the party - Holden, Luxaene, and Derek - are somewhere in between the two.
Lazarus sees his companions engage the slimes, and feels confident they can handle it without his help. Instead, he spotted a shadowy figure running away from the encounter. Lazarus will Dash and follow it, jumping down from the tree if necessary.

Hush sees Lazarus dash off after the shadowy figure. He shakes his head as his companion runs off alone. He runs off after the shadowy figure as well, calling back over his shoulder as he steps off, "There's someone in the shadows ahead. It seems Lazarus wishes to give chase. I'll keep an eye on him."
Dash Action to get get full movement after the figure.
Holden's axe neatly carves through the amorphous figure, akin to a spoon through pudding. It recoils, but still stands strong, and will follow up with a slam to the Half-Orc! Attack: 20. If that hits, make a DC 12 Constitution save, or take 5 poison damage. Luxaene's blast hits the stationary accumulation of energy, throwing the spell off for a moment, but it still continues to swell in size! Derek, seeing Lazarus and Hush take off after the figure, aids in the pursuit, dashing off into the woods.
DM roll - 2 ^For the record, these rolls are for the forming slimes. If you haven't guessed, a 4 means it has fully formed!
Derek, Lazarus, and Hush dash around fortyfeet before seeing a small clearing illuminated by the starry sky. Lying in a kneeling position is a thin figure clad in purple, grey, and green robes, mildew and mold coalesced everywhere on it. The figure jumps and turns around at the arrival before backing away slightly, another globular mass of purple ooze emerging from a purple spark on the ground!
Initiative for Ochori Cultist - 17
The cultist weaves his hands in a circular motion, launching two globes of dark blue magic at the first two figures it sees - Hush, Lazarus, make a Dexterity saving throw of DC 15, or take 3 poison damage, or half as much on a success!
Hush, looking a rather unsteady on his feet, runs headlong at the cultist. As he slides in with his first strike to kick at the legs of the cultist, then spring up and bring his fist up towards his jaw.
Lazarus's incantation flies to the cultist, but before it lands, he throws his hands up, and a shield of matted purple moss seems to spring up from nowhere and prevent the impact. Unfortunately for the cultist, both of Hush's strikes hit, and they hit hard! The cultist is swept off his feet, and looks pretty beat up already.
Holden, your axe carves the slime neatly in two. While much of the ooze shakes off, two distinct blobs rise once again. They're smaller, but no less feisty.
I will make a move for Derek and Luxaene if neither of them post when I'm back from work in a few hours.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Luxaene's blast flies into the stationary Slime! It looks significantly injured, but still attempts to form! Holden's Con Saving Throw: 14 - the Half-Orc shrugs off the toxin! Derek, seeing Hush attack the cultist, unslings a shortbow, and will take advantage of the halfling's proximity! Attack: 20 Damage: 10 - unfortunately, it bounces off the cultist's spell!
Roll for slime forming near Luxaene - 4 Roll for slime forming near the cultist - 2 Neither of them fully form!
The two Small Slimes near Holden will make two smaller slam attacks on him. Upon either of these hitting, make a DC 10 Con save! Slam 1 - Attack: 21 upon hit, make a DC 10 Con save or 7 poison damage - Attack 2: 16 Make a DC 10 Con save or 7 poison damage.
The Cultist hurriedly picks himself up, turns to Hush, and will spend his last spell slot murmuring an incantation. Suddenly, four identical Mirror Images appear! The cultist looks at you with fear in his eyes.
Both attacks miss Holden. He counters with a slash at one of the smaller slimes, which neatly carves it in two. The slime crumbles on itself, turning into an unmoving pile of jellified goo. Cultist's Wisdom save - 18 - the Cultist's images all wipes their brows, but otherwise, he seems unaffected. Derek will take another shot at the Cultist - Attack: 10 Damage: 7 Mirror Image roll for the Cultist - 14 - at the last moment, he shifts himself to another image. As the bolt sinks into the mirror image, the image collapses into a pile of mush, which promptly begins moving. Another Small Slime has been created. Initiative: 11

Hush Dex Save: 24
Hush ducks out of the way, coughing a bit as the poison stings (takes 1 damage).
Lazarus Dex Save: 17
Lazarus manages to dodge most of the poison, but even seems to relish the sting of the magical toxin. He smiles back at the Ochori cultist.
"Impressive! I would love to learn such a spell. Now, it's my turn."
Lazarus mutters a dark incantation and sends a ray of withering necrotic energy at the cultist!

Knowing she can do better, Luxaene's bangles glow as usual and she fires another blast at the slime!

You can make your attacks!
Lazarus raises an eyebrow as his ray of sickness is deflected by the cultist's shield, followed by four identical mirror images of the Ochori.
"Impressive. You're proving to be quite the abjurer, aren't you? I'm afraid you won't be able to dodge this though..."
Lazarus casts Toll the Dead at the injured cultist- the tolling bells force him a step closer to the grave.
DC 14 WIS Save or 5 damage
Then, he says, "It will be in your best interests to surrender and explain your activities in conjuring these slimes."
