## Summary

The party brought back the vrock body to the Armadi enclave. The male Armadi did not believe it to be real, but Aster (it was actually Beebo) was able to intimidate him in to not disparaging the group since they helped the clan. They tried to persuade the Armadi to give them the scarab necklace on Councilman Crepuscular as a reward; however he was not willing to part with it so easily. Kudzu offered that if the party can solve their water issue they'd be willing to give the scarab necklace. They agreed, but only after Beebo got his foon (spork) back from the male Armadi. After the party cleansed themselves in the holy water, per Kudzu's request, Aster flew up to the mouth of the cave and tied her rope to Raxis's to help the party climb the 60 feet to the cavern entrance.

Inside the cavern, they found some carved pillars and eroded statues inside and Eira was able to ascertain that they were made by humans. They found a wall of water that didn't appear to be flowing. Raxis cast mage hand to check for traps and poke at the water. He found it to be more viscous than the holy water in the Armadi's pool. Alas-Šur cast frostbite at the wall to try to see through it and three grey oozes came out (*a group of oozes is called a "tray" per Alas-Šur*). When the oozes unblocked the water, Eira, Raxis, and Aster got pushed out of the cave. Aster tried to swoop down and save Raxis, but unfortunately missed. Eira was able to catch herself on the rope. Alas-Šur got schlorped up by one of the grey oozes and Beebo almost got swallowed up by another. Aster got swallowed up twice by different oozes, but eventually the party was able to deal with the threats.

They continued on through the cavern to explore and found a strange woman by a stone door in the back. She had blueish-green skin and her hair looked kind of gelatinous. She shouted at the group for them to leave and never return. They tried to learn why she was in the cave but she became even more aggressive. She summoned grey oozes around her, and they were fortified with white clay. Aster learned these oozes will destroy her non-magical weapon so she went feral to hit harder. The ooze-woman ensnared Beebo, Aster, and Eira in a tangle of grey ooze tentacles, but Aster was eventually able to break her concentration while Raxis and Alas-Šur hit the oozes with ranged attacks. Eira went down at one point, but Raxis was able to heal her with a relic he had. Alas-Šur was able to deal the killing blow with fireball. Aster was caught in the friendly fire, but she was able to survive thanks to Eira having healed her earlier. Once the fight was over, they examined the stone door and found the symbol below on it. It looks like the rhombus relics the party have found might be able to fit in the slots. They found 700gp on the ooze-woman's body and a pouch with ooze powder in it. Once the party returned to the Armadi enclave, they were rewarded the scarab necklace and 7 pendants made of bulette shell with a waterfall carving as a symbol to show other enclaves that the party are allies to them. Kudzu was very thankful that she and her son weren't exiled from their community. In return, they told the party their real enclave names: Tachi and Kapoloa, respectively. The last thing the party noticed was that the suspicious angry male Armadi was no longer in the clan; it was unclear if it was by choice or not.
