- Theophania collect samples of the slime on the nearby sewer grates.
- She says she wants to take the samples to Magnus for him to analyze since he has better arcane equipment for chemical analysis than the temple, since the temple is all about divine magic and all.
- Osiris says that she also wants to talk to Magnus, and the other three all live at the boarding house, so they head to Callie's
- A few hours later after walking across the whole dang city, they arrive at the boarding house.
- Theophania barges in and asks if Magnus is in, then she dashes up the stairs to his room
- He's busy, but she cheekily assumes her way into getting his help
- Before they analyze the substances, she helps him with the experiment he's currently running
- Mage Hand is very useful in this experiment
- After almost an hour, there's an explosion outside
- They all dash to the window that looks over the street, and they see something glittering on the ground near one of the storm drains
- Everyone rushes outside and pushes their way to the front of the crowd, and the ground around the drain grate is covered in purple fuzz.
- Theophania starts scraping up samples, and is narrowly missed by a vine whipping out of the grate
- T yells out for the crowd to run, and slowly starts to back up
BATTLE
- Theophania casts Faerie Fire on the vine and backs up 30'
- The Vines whips themselves at Osiris and hits for 9 bludgeoning dmg and she is Grappled and Restrained and it pulls her towards the gate
- Lyrielle gives a quick glance to the purple fuzz and thinks it looks like a fungus, so she steps onto it and up to the Vine and hits it with her staff for 8 bludgeoning dmg and then she Disengages with a ki point and jumps back away from the Vines
- Raiàn casts Acid Splash at the Vines for 4 acid dmg
- The Purple Fuzz shoots spores at Osiris and misses twice, then hits her for 4 necrotic dmg and then hits her again for 7 necrotic dmg
- Osiris casts Guiding Bolt on the Vines for 14 radiant dmg
- The Purple Fuzz misses Lyrielle three times
- Rusty moves up to the Vines where they come out of the grate and swings his greatsword at them for 11 slashing dmg
- Theophania moves to where she can get a clear shot and shoots the Vine for 15 piercing dmg
- The Vines constrict and Osiris is unconscious from 15 poison dmg
- Lyrielle moves in and attacks with her quarterstaff for 5 bludgeoning dmg then she kicks it for 5 bludgeoning dmg
- Raiàn shoots the Vines with a Firebolt for 7 fire dmg (not as effective)
- The Purple Fuzz misses Rusty twice then hits him for 2 necrotic dmg
- Osiris succeeds on her first ever Death ST
- The Purple Fuzz hits Lyrielle for 3 necrotic dmg
- Rusty interposes his body between Osiris's unconscious one and the grate and then slices it for 11 slashing dmg
- Theophania runs up to Osiris and casts Cure Wounds on her for 6 HP then she runs back 10'
- The Vines deal 19 poison dmg to Osiris and she's unconscious again
- Lyrielle hits the Vines with her quarterstaff for 11 bludgeoning dmg and she wraps her staff around the thickest Vine and then rips it away from the rest of the plant and the Vines go limp
END BATTLE
- Theophania runs up to Osiris and stabilizes her with a medicine check
- Rusty attempts to use his crowbar to open the grate, and while he breaks a couple of the bars, it doesn't open it enough for even Theophania to fit through the hole
- Osiris wakes up and casts Cure Wounds on herself then she walks over to Magnus who is standing in the doorway of Callie's Boardinghouse and asks him pointblank what he poured into the sewer
- He says that everyone disposes of things in the sewer
- Theophania asks if he dumps out his experiments in the sewer and asks him not to anymore
- Osiris can see that he's being evasive and doing his best to avoid admitting any guilt in this situation or the slime situation
- Theophania promises to help him dispose of his magical experiments in a way by getting him a barrel to put sand and water in it and then can swing by once a week or so to Purify the water for him
- They turn to go look at the sewer grate and there are some curious halflings who have wandered into the Purple Fuzz and one is laying on the ground being attacked with spores
- Theophania directs Rusty to pull the prone halfling out of the area while Osiris directs the other halflings to back away from the area and for Raiàn to set fire to the fungus
- Purple smoke fills the area and all the commoners and Raiàn takes one level of Exhaustion
- Once the smoke and fuzz have cleared Theophania puts on her goggles and looks into the broken sewer grate and sees the stump of the Vines rooted in the sewer muck and the sewer walls coated in the purple fuzz, so she calls Raiàn over to casts some more Firebolts after they clear the townsfolk further away this time
- The purple fuzz catches fire and after just a few minutes there's smoke coming not only from this sewer grate, but also from the two nearest on the same line, so Osiris runs to check and finds one more halfling who has fallen unconscious from smoke inhalation
- Theophania and Rusty head to the Groundswallow General Store to get a barrel for Magnus
- By the time they get there the store is closed, so T takes R around to the house entrance
- They say hi to her mom Nellie, but her dad and brother aren't home
- T runs upstairs to say hi to Vera and give her niece a little thing she made with some buttons, then they get the barrel with the damaged lid that doesn't quite seal any more and they get some sand and water from the river on their way back
- Back at the temple library, Osiris is looking for books on disposal of magical waste and on bad things that happen when magic is mishandled
- She finds a book on alchemy that talks about the problems that can be caused when you mix things that shouldn't be mixed, and also goes through what things you can mix with what to neutralize things before diluting and disposing of them. She notes the title for Theophania so she can copy the neutralization tables for Magnus later.
