With the Slime Lord's attention fully occupied by Jules, the rest of the party attacked it freely.
Kaycee shot explosive arrows that tore off chunks of its flesh; Jen stabbed her sword into it, melting more of its gelatinous body to expose the core. Ren was also blowing up more portions of its flesh to reduce the area where the core could move.
And the ever watchful and opportunistic Derek saw the unmistakable flash of the Slime Lord's core, struck like a venomous viper, and stabbed it with his dagger.
The core exploded into powder once he did that, and the gelatinous body of the Slime Lord collapsed without its consciousness holding on to it.
It's dead.
It left behind a pool of slime, which quickly dried up and turned into powder scattered by the breeze.
The party regrouped and looked for its drops. The Slime Lord left behind red and green slime clumps, a chunk of its flesh, and a shard of its core. All are valuable materials for sure.
