After the usual “okay, who’s in the lead now?” chaos, we get rolling. Walking along, minding our own business, we spot some slime. Moving slime. Instantly the decision is made to douse it in oil and set it on fire. Our rogue throws oil at the slime, but misses spectacularly and soaks the Dwarf leading the charge. Looks like the burning starts early tonight!
\n
\nWhile the Dwarf steps to the side to clean off the oil, a slime gets the drop on us. You heard me. A slime gets the drop on us. It burns our wizard with acid. Disgusting AND deadly! The rest of us flail ineffectually, but the wizard casts burning hands on it and it shrivels like a magical acidic salted slug.<\/p>\n

Wizard Veracity:<\/b> “Fire is our friend. For once.”<\/i>
\n<\/a>
\nUnfortunately, another slime and an ochre jelly arrive. Our Dwarf splits the jelly in half. Artist’s rendition at right.<\/p>\n

We attempted to flambe, puree, and otherwise pound the jelly into… well, into jelly. One of them spat acid at me, but thanks to the chainmail of acid resistance I got last time, I took minimal damage and looked quite stylish doing it! My turn came around again. I realized that I had no blunt weapons, no method of setting things afire, so rather than dicker around too much and lose my turn I said “ah, screw it” and sliced through the slime. The acidic<\/i> slime. My axe was partially corroded. Great.<\/p>\n

The other Dwarf, Torkal, has a stroke of genius, drops his axe, and pulls a crowbar out of his pack. Yes, he travels with a crowbar. We are all impressed and the GM has to look stuff up. Sadly, the crowbar misses. The jelly oozes over to the axe that the Dwarf dropped and…<\/p>\n

GM:<\/b> Jelly hovers over Torkal’s axe and begins to dissolve it.<\/i>
\nDwarf:<\/b> I think I just raged.
\nBard:<\/b> Slurp slurp<\/i>
\nCleric:<\/b> eeee!
\nMe:<\/b> NOT COOL.<\/i>
\nWizard: <\/b>rofl – man, (GM), you are so evil.
\nGM:<\/b> actions have consequences!<\/i><\/p>\n

CRUEL. CRUEL!!<\/p>\n

Eventually all the jellies are reduced to a a fine paste. Veracity burns quite a few, and I crush the final one beneath my boot. Good riddance.<\/p>\n

We continue along the passage, coming upon two kobolds on either side of a large alarm gong. We debate what to do. Possibilities include:<\/p>\n
