Baradine shall SMITE THE PUDDINGS WITH HIS FIERY BLADE
Rorrim shall . . .
...
Kick the nearest book and grab one at random before rushing outside and examining the place, perhaps going over to where that longsword was.
Get sword back. (1d6=5)Baradine looks to where he dropped his sword. Doesn't seem too far away, and it seems it has cooled down enough to hold. He makes a quick dash towards it, going down into a roll to grab it, and slices several times at the wounded slime as he gets back up...
Slice pudding; pudding defense (1d6=6, 1d6=1)... and as the slime droplets start to fly away, he slashes around seemingly at random, but sizzling noises reveal that he actually destroys these droplets as well, killing the first of the slimes. Then he twirls around the sword and sheathes it.

The clanging you heard leads you to believe that Baradine may have dropped his sword just a bit ago. Perhaps you can get it before him? Before that, you go grab one of the books...
Grab book (1d6=1)"On the care and feeding of dralthas"? Of course you'd get a fiction book. Well, the clanging came from the circular room, so it's time to clean up this mess just a bit.
Get back into the circular room (1d6-1=5)You clean away the debris and right parts of a shelf, and the door is passable once again. Oh, well, looks like Baradine already picked up his sword again.
READ A BOOK
Read a book (1d6=2)You grab a random book. Apparently it is about bunnies? Odd, what's left of the writing and the illustrations suggests something else entirely...

((I should probably remember to stand up sometime. Well, that or master the art of Sloth Fighting.))
Get to feet. Club slimes if there's time.
With the immediate thread gone, you manage to get up unimpeded, and charge at the remaining slime to club it.
Attack pudding/pudding defense (1d6=2, 1d6=2)You ineffectually bonk the creature on the top.
The slime then forms a pseudopod to bludgeon Zalgus.
Attack Zalgus/Zalgus defense (1d6=3, 1d6=1)The pseudopod ends up being quite weak, and only bruises the necromancer. (2 damage)
Enemies - 1
black puddingBlack pudding 2 - 20/25 hp - Melee to Zalgus, close to Baradine, Rorrim, and Rorgrin, not visible to Trael

"Do you think we're lost, Larry?"
"Without a map of this place, there's no way we are lost."
You've barely stepped onto the sand as a different voice rings into your mind.
Servitor of the Bald One. Like your predecessors, you will perish. You will not reach the Terror of Bloodstained Dreams.In the middle of the room, something starts digging out of the sand...
