I assume that the cube dissolves a lot faster when one isn't wearing much clothing.

Nikita re-wakes!
"Why do I feel so... squishy. I didn't feel like a tank before but this is craz- Oh. My last spirit has just informed me I'm a mage.

Damn it."

Cast Spell of Double Weight on the gelatinous cube.
"I hope I'm not running out of spare bodies, they aren't really easy to come by...

[greymountain_Sage]

He didn't say you took any damage yet, actually. I'm thinking if we blast it to death fast enough we can pull you out before you dissolve.
We might need more people though...

[Kadzar]

Razdak taps Tank on the neck and points toward the direction of the vat room.

[killerhellhound]

Razdak taps Tank on the neck and points toward the direction of the vat room.

I follow the orders on seeing the slime I put the mouse on a pieace of funiture then pull anyone getting to close to the slime away from it

[USEC_OFFICER]

Get back on the stairs and wait for the others to finish crossing.

You get back on the stairs and wait for the others to finish crossing, tapping your feet impatiently as you do so.

Uhhhhhhh Start hitting random things hoping to set off some sort of secret passage (or trap death would be a welcome reprieve from this place) ready to avoid whatever may try and violently murder you.

Your random bumbling sets off the spike trap. Again.

[REFLEX: 15 + 5] You somehow manage to dodge the spikes as they come shooting up.

[REFLEX: 12 + 5] Hans dodges the spikes in a surprisingly graceful manner. Mind you she's cursing your name while she does so, so the effect is ruined a bit.

[REFLEX: 1] Tank takes it like his namesake. 1 damage

I hear of free healing then I go and drink one of the potions then I mutters to Razdak thats its alright he triggered the trap he didn't know and we are all still alive there have been worse blunders (I had seen the meny remains and people who were just standing staring off into space)

You swallow one of Midna's healing potions and explode horribly. I kid, I kid. They're perfectly fine. 1 healing

Okay, I launch magic missiles at it, trying very hard to hit the cube and not Nikita II.

Nikita II is pretty much dead by now, so you can fling those magic missiles around with impunity.

[18] Your attack roasts the cube slightly. 1 damage

I throw my grappling hook at the spikes on the far end from where I entered the pit, trying to hook it on one of them.

Cursing Cairn's name, you chuck your grappling hook at the spikes at the far end of the pit.

[4] Your grappling hook fails to grab onto any spikes. Not that grappling them onto a spike would have helped you, since all the spikes that you can grapple are in the pit. The ones that keep skewering you keep on retracting. Speaking of skewering, your grappling hook has set of the spike trap once again. Lovely.

[REFLEX: 8 + 5] You easily dodge the up-coming spikes.

[REFLEX: 6 + 5] Cairn must be a spike-dodging master, because I don't think that he has ever been hit by this trap.

[REFLEX: 10] Even Tank manages to avoid the trap.

I'll head to the room with the vats.

You head into the room with the vats at the right time to see the gelatinous cube spew up the now pearly-white bones of Nikita. Eww...

Malaken retreats from the vat room in case something goes wrong with the volley of magic missiles Tarmik is about to launch.

You beat a hasty retreat out of the vat room.

Cast Spell of Double Weight on the gelatinous cube.

Nikita III (though wouldn't it be Nikolai II now that he's a man again?) comes stumbling into the room in a flash of brimstone and hellfire.

[6] Thoroughly disorientated, his spell misses the cube and hits a nearby shelf, causing it to collapse under its own weight.

Razdak taps Tank on the neck and points toward the direction of the vat room.

I follow the orders on seeing the slime I put the mouse on a pieace of funiture then pull anyone getting to close to the slime away from it

Directed by the cute little spell-casting mouse, Tank wanders over to the vat room. Quickly surveying the room, Tank carefully places Razdak on a nearby shelf before turning to face the cube.

The gelatinous cube, having now returned to its original cube-like form, gurgles for a couple seconds before charging at Tarmik.

[20] Tank calmly reaches out with his hand and yanks Tarmik the Magnificent out of the path of the on-rushing cube.

The pit is 30-feet long, but this image only shows 20 feet (maybe they were feeling pit envy in 3.5?). The last 10 feet of the pit (ie the easternmost part) is a trigger that causes spikes to come up inside the pit, and the areas right beside the pit. The hallways leading to and from the pit are the same hallways you've been going through (ie rough stone masonry floors/walls).

I thought that you guys could use some clarification.

[Hanslanda]

I feel like a damned ninja. But enough is enough.

I throw my grappling hook to one of the other adventures, and hold onto the rope, saying, "Help pull me up before we all get skewered. Again."

[killerhellhound]

I take a swig of healing juice then repeat my action of pulling anyone the slime gets close to away from it

[greymountain_Sage]

Ah, I see. It's a Jello mold of instant death. Well, could have been worse, I could have done that.

I'd like it to go on record that if this thing kills me, my last words will be "I'm a pineapple chunk."
Right, so with that out of the way, I fall back to the hallway that leads to the spike pit and continue to launch magic missiles at the cube.

[Solifuge]

Alright, time for some magic.

I take the big bottle of brandy, and hold a large swig in my mouth. Then, when the slime gets close, I smash the bottle down in front of it, and get my torch ready. Once the Slime moves over and fully absorbs the spilled alcohol, I spit fire through my torch. Here's hoping alcohol-infused slimes are as flammable as I suspect.

[Kadzar]

Razdak cast Dumbfire Magic Missile at the cube.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Nikolai II Casts Double Weight on the cube again!

[USEC_OFFICER]

...

You do know that the pit trap is only triggered when you try to move to the eastern side of the pit?

Eh, whatever.

[17] You successfully grapple your way onto the western edge of the pit. Yay you.

I take a swig of healing juice then repeat my action of pulling anyone the slime gets close to away from it

Hmm... Tasty, tasty healing juice. 1 healing

Right, so with that out of the way, I fall back to the hallway that leads to the spike pit and continue to launch magic missiles at the cube.

[14] Your magic missiles impact against the side of the cube, causing it to wobble slightly. 1 damage

There is no way that this can end badly.

[13] The brandy spewed out of your mouth is rapidly ignited by the open flame of your torch. Despite having absorbed a bottle of brandy, the cube isn't very flammable. Mind you it does weight 15,000 pounds, so it can handle its booze. 1 damage

Razdak cast Dumbfire Magic Missile at the cube.

[5] The Dumbfire Magic Missiles get distracted by Midna's amazing pyrotechnic display, and slam harmlessly into a wall.

Nikolai II Casts Double Weight on the cube again!

[1] Congratulations, you are now morbidly obese.

The gelatinous cube, presumably pissed off at Midna's attack, charges forward.

[2] Tank is far to distracted by the pretty flames to notice the cube's hostile intent.

The cube rams into Midna at top speed, which is actually pretty slow. Still, 15,000 pounds of cube can be pretty damn forceful when it wants to be. 1 damage

[FORTITUDE: 17 + 5] Midna manages to shake off the effects of the cube's paralysing excretions. Yes, gelatinous cubes excrete paralysing slime. You know what else they excrete? Acid. Luckily Midna's Saffron-Yellow Cloak protects her from the worse of the acid. Namely by absorbing it and crumbling into pieces.

What are you saying? The eastern side of the pit is where I wanted to go. Trying to go there triggers the traps, and I'm out of healing potions. I'm not going to die vainly trying to get up onto a ledge that may lead nowhere at all.

Seriously, what are you saying? I'm confused.

I think he's saying that you grappled your way back over here in an entirely unnecessary fashion. Oh well.
I think the others have the cube situation handled, I can help you guys. Here, have a heal spell.

[Vorthon]

Malaken giggles at Nikita III's fumble, then tells everyone to clear out of the room, then casts fireball upon the cube!
