Well percepted!!!

Are we in initiative now? Or are the slimes still oblivious to our presence?

Good question. They haven't done anything to indicate they're aware of your presence, so we don't need it just yet. But I will ask everyone to roll initiative just so we have it. Thanks!

The tension is building!!! Ooh. I forgot to roll an arcana check for an off chance of knowing what these things are or how to combat them. Will do so now!

...meh. Frack has no keen insight. He once defeated an entire jar of mayonnaise (on a sandwich), but that's about as close as he gets to knowing anything about black slime.

16:34, Today: Frack rolled 8 using 1d20-1.  arcana - how does one fight whatever is in the junk pile??? –

Lets have Vera concentrate on Bane for this fight. The fewer hits we take, the better.

Does one of our casters want to start us off with a ranged attack? See if we can draw it out?

I believe Procz used his action to expose more of the ooze, taking it out of full cover.

It was, but since the oozes aren't presently aware of us we're not technically in initiative yet. That being said, I'm fine to just stumble over and take a swing at it. Now that we have momentum again I don't want to squander it.

Let me know who got blessed before combat, Baern and Frack and who's our third?

In reply to Kreo (msg # 531):

Vecaal

Just gonna tattoo that in my head again.

Thanks for the blessing, by the way. Frack thinks Kreo is all right!

The oozes rolled a 3 for Initiative so everyone can act before them. So far we've got:

Procz: telekinesis
Baern: attack
Kreo: attack (concentrate: bless)
Frack: attack

Vecaal: ranged attack

We know electricity causes the slime to split. Edged weapons probably do as well. You can make a melee attack with javelins.

Thanks for the Javelin, Baern! Frack won't deal a boatload of damage, but the rest of you landed some good blows this round, so hopefully we're making progress.

A short break in the IC action, so finally, here are my all time favorites (so far).

Favorite Vera costume (and favorite saying):
   Last but not least… Crajeon!!! Especially this line to the firbolg himself.

Favorite Frack mispronunciation/misundestanding:
   Luminous aluminum is some sort of collection of things that everybody is talking about.

Favorite Baern terminology:
   Who could forget?
Favorite Vecaal (angry) thoughts and sayings:
   Saving the best for last…
Favorite Kreo union-inspired moment:
   Who could forget this stirring one?
Favorite Procz quote that Frack totally didn’t understand:
   Of course!
Brilliant work by one and all! Thank you for your continued contributions!!!

I do enjoy these recaps :)

I appreciate and feel seen. Also I will post soon sorry just been a busy week

Likewise, thanks!

Happy to recap. They are fun to write and I think it's worthwhile to remind everyone that their posts often bring a smile to my face.

Now back to the black slime (black pudding?)!
Whatever it is, Frack is a little creeped out by the fact that it's somewhere out of sight but nearby (maybe even under foot).

I agree wholeheartedly in regard to your awesome recaps!

Also, I rolled 22 for a Survival check to see if Procz has any knowledge about hunting oozes. Or if Nature or Investigation would be more suitable, feel free to subtract or add 1 accordingly.

Does this slime have bane cast on it as well?

Yeowch! That thing packs an acidic whallop!

Frack is unconscious, but he at least passed his first death save.
By the way? Is Kreo's bless still in play?

In reply to Frack (msg # 546):

Wouldn't have dropped unless it's been a minute, up to our DM

This is very much the sort of thing I would forget, but this time I did in fact take it into account. Slime rolled an 18, so even with its +5 reduced to +1, that's a hit.

Yep, Bless still active.

Edit: Apologies for adding insult to injury, but Frack's chicken wire armor suffers a permanent -1 to its AC bonus as well.
