Dave FoO's Kind Of Stalled Out Here, Huh? Marivhon, the nasty slime mother is definitely a large creature, and effectively AC:7. There's no way you can get cover from the slime gremlins while attacking their mother with a halberd. So, you take 4 hp from gremlins, plus when you fumble on the mother, a pseudopod slaps you roughly for 7 more. Then on her round, instead of spawning, she bites you with three horrible mouthes for 10 more. That leaves you with 2 hp left, unfortunately.

Renwick, no, only one save is required. The party isn't necessarily advancing, and the slime mother isn't moving from her location, so unless you enter the First Kitchen, you won't see her.

Schmektor, cool, you help Tut out of the pit. Tut and Moth, welcome back to the fight.

Moth, you have to make a save vs. paralyzation and a save vs. fear (at +1). Fail the first, fall in a pit. Fail the second, collapse on the ground in fear until you make a WI check (try once per round). Feel free to retcon the last couple of rounds too.

Assuming you make 'em, you run up and blast the slime mother good with the flames. However, judging from the look of things, it's gonna take a lot more where that came from. The slime mother is about the size of a VW bug, just a bit more squat.

Checking out the corpse after the battle is, alas, a long way off.  ¶ 3:54 PM
