Krysta, Girud, Mordrock, Galdren, Hero, Caelith, Callian and Garor - Throwing open the door, you are nearly toppled over by the same foul odor wafting through the rest of this acursed ship. Inside, there is more of the ghastly decor. Tables covered in foul, half-eaten remains, piles of fur and crude beds covered in filth and feces...however, this room's walls are also lined with several weapons racks - now currently empty.
Some of the beds and tables have been turned upright, granting crude barriers to those hiding behind them - more of the wretched Bar-Lgura demons.
Most notably however, is the presence of an overly large, vulture-like demon. Its huge talons scrape hungrily at the stone floor and its tattered wings drip with a tarry black ichor, much like the impossibly sharp tip of its beak.
As soon as the door is fully thrown open, the demon lets loose a horrible scream that deafens and seems to puncture eardrums. [Stunning Screech] You feel your body tense as the echoes rush through you, forcing the very will to fight from your bones.
[Fort. Saves (No this is not a fear effect) Fails = Caelith, Krysta, Garor, Mordrock]
The vulture howls for more, ready to pounce into the fray...
[Initiative: Mordrock (Stunned), Galdren, Caelith (Stunned), The Vrock and Hero, Garor (Stunned) and Girud, Krysta (Stunned), Callian]
¬ = Door
G = Girud
A = Galdren

R = Garor
V = Vrock
1-4 = Bar-Lgura Demons
{I hope this layout is OK, y'all know you can protest.}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuri and Romar - The darkness prevails, do little to reveal what horrible creature now slushes towards you, you only become vaguely aware of its presence as tendrils of slime lash out at you.
[Initiative: Romar, Yuri, The Small Black Pudding]
Romar senses something and digs with his blades. [Attack Rolls = 18/12, 24/6 50% Miss chances = one success] One strike hits something solid, but the blade just seems to slice through it ineffectually. [No damage, the pudding just splits. Ref. Saves to not lose weapons to digestive acid = Nat. 1]
On the strike, it as though, from the hilt down, the blade is no longer there. With the hiss of acid and the smell of disolving metal, the blade is totally eaten away to nothing - a useless husk of its former self.
[Romar, your secondary weapon is gone.]
Yuri remains motionless, manifesting a power to protect himself.
Then, the tendrils come lashing out against you both. [2 vs. Yuri = 24, 24 1 Vs. Romar = 14] Romar screams as tentacles of acid lash into his body. [Damage Roll = 16]
The battle goes on as the pudding just sloshes about mindlessly....
[Initiative: Romar, Yuri, the small Black Pudding.]

... What the..? I've never fought an ooze-like creature so I had no clue what to do lol. Nevertheless, both my swords are magic swords (bane vs undead) given by the dwarves, but I don't know if you Kman were aware of that cause I didn't include it in my previous post. I rechecked the rules on this, and if I read them correctly magic weapons don't need to make a save. Until I read: unless on a natural one on the save by the wielder... 
But I didn't really understand if now my weapon gets a second save for itself now that I have failed mine with 1. I read PhB p.214, under Damaging Magic Items.
