20220315 - Run 23

I hear a bunch of yelling from the hallway, so I get jolted out of my meditation. Nyla was right in the middle of summoning a familiar, and for some reason she yelled for Caleb to come help her keep the spell from going sideways, so I ran into the hallway along with Chad and D.va. 

There’s a wobbly, oily, puddle-looking thing coming up the hall along the ceiling. It smells gross, further in, in the ‘warm’ zone, but there’s definitely a thing creeping along the ceiling towards us. We all recall something about black puddings, and lightning not being a good idea, but D.va (having rolled a 1 on her Arcana) assures us that that’s fake news or something.

Chad moves up on the ceiling puddle and stabs at it with his spear. He hits it, with his spear, and the wound sprays acid at him, scorching him. D.va then slings a lightning bolt at the blob on the ceiling, hitting it… and splitting it in two. I move up to Chad and punch one of the things, which was a bad idea, it burns the hell out of me with whatever acid is inside it, but I continue with my spear, and get the spray effect just like Chad.

Chad hits the one I was trying to take down again, using some of his paladin of the free market horseshit, and then D.va does something and a huge blast of sound brutalizes these two cafeteria rejects, completely destroying the one we were working on. So, cool, we found something they don’t like. I whack at the remaining one a few more times, totally ruining my spear - these things are corrosive too, so that’s great. 

D.va was making some noises about wanting to get some of this as a “sample” or “pet” or something but once we got this shit under control, she was like ‘ehhh let’s just kill it’, so Chad kept at it and smited it one more time with his increasingly fucked spear. D.va dropped a triplet of magic missiles into it, and dispenses with the remnants of the pudding.

I was feeling pretty shit after that so I quaffed a potion of healing, and then D.va used that vial to get a vial of black pudding acid. So that’s cool! Chad’s spear was all fucked up so I gave him one of my javelins. 

After all that bullshit I go back in the room, watch Nyla finish summoning her whatever, and I meditate for a nice long hour.
