Ooze and Exploding Demons

We finally made it! We are in the Glacis Wilds! Before heading out, some members of the group covered the ship with brush from the area to disguise it. So much snow was falling that it was covering the ship quickly so I think the disguise worked well. Sam was smart to mark a tree with a symbol so that we would be able to find the ship again later. Viravel also agreed to stay behind to protect the ship while we are away. As we walked away from the ship, the wind was intense...it is dreadfully cold here. After a little while, we came across an abandoned town. There was an inn called the Creaking Doe that we all decided to check out.
 
Inside, I noticed a dead elf in the far back corner. I didn't see any weapons but saw that he was stabbed in the neck. I found 5 silver and a journal in his pockets! The journal was odd...his notes said something about "how to get better with swords", something about practicing, and then "23 CP to Knoplin Stalin by moonfall"...I guess he owed someone? We may never know. Whatever the case, I finally have a journal that I can keep my herb notes in!! WOOOO! I'll have a complete journal in no time!
 
Then I saw that everyone was surrounding a door making sizzling sounds. They all seemed scared to open it so I decided to open it for them! I think that was probably not the best idea though...a bunch of nasty black ooze spewed out and...well...it wanted to kill us. I tried so hard to close the door but the ooze was too strong. I was not strong enough :( and the only thing I could to was run away...leaving my friends in danger! WHO AM I?! I felt so bad leaving Borris and Sam near the ooze but they were able to get out alive. Noelani yelled for us to get away from the ooze so I grabbed Borris and headed outside. Cordelia summoned a bunch of demons in hopes that they would distract the ooze from us but it didn't quite work. However, the demons did eat some of the ooze and then blew up which was absolutely disgusting...but that's how things go sometimes I guess.
 
Through the window, I was able to shoot some ooze bits before sliding down the balcony railing to get away. That's when Sam said one word and then the entire inn was on fire. Sam is so freaking cool. After the battle, I felt amazing! I helped get rid of bad monsters and hope that our group continues to do so!
