Acidic Blood vs 3 Scientists

The setting: Our grave domain cleric used Channel Divinity to curse the newly hatched black dragon wyrmling we were facing (makes vulnerable to any damage) and then our sorcerer cast Magic Missile on it.

DM: All 3 missiles drill into the wyrmling, splattering gore across the back wall as it drops to the floor, dead. Damn, I was hoping you guys would take some damage from this fight. [We’re squishy level 3s]

Party: Wooo!

DM: However, the wyrmling’s pool of acidic blood is now slowly eating through the floor.

Druid: Umm, can I shape water to waterbend the blood out of the corpse, off the floor, and out the window? Blood’s mostly water, right?

DM, IRL fount of random scientific knowledge:…I guess? Hmm. I wonder, would that leave the acid behind? Is there now just straight acid on the floor reacting with the moisture in the wood?

Bard, IRL Master of Biomedical Science[paraphrased because this was 3 weeks ago and it got really sciency]: Well, if all the water was pulled out you’d have it reacting with things like sodium and you’d just end up with salt I think.

The two of them went on for another 5 minutes debating back and forth about what the acid would do out of solution, depending on concentration, type of acid, etc.

DM: OK, ok, I’ll let you waterbend the whole mess out out the window. You now have a desiccated wyrmling corpse, a corpse, and a vaguely burnt spot on the floor.

THE FOLLOWING WEEK, pre game

DM: I did some research on acids…

Bard: Table salt

DM: So, now that the rogue managed to get the rubies out without electrocuting himself, you can see inside and see a button inside.
Magus: I’m the only one who sees this?
DM: You were the only one who asked to look instead of looting.
Magus: I stand there and stare at the button for a long time. I am sweating intensely. My +4 intelligence is telling me all the bad things that could happen, but my chaotic an curious nature are fighting against it.
DM: So?
Magus: Fuck it I press it.
DM: You hear a click but nothing happens.
Magus: Despite knowing that that button could’ve resulted in my death in many ways, I feel disappointed it didn’t do anything.
Paladin: Its okay, I understand the need to press mysterious buttons.
Magus: How can I NOT when I don’t know what they do! I need to know!
Paladin: Especially if they’re red and or on a panel that says do not touch.
Magus (loudly): EXACTLY!

Telephone trap

Backstory: The party is creeping through the city sewers, trying to find a bunch of little killer golems (think Mousers from TMNT). The ranger has a map of the sewer that includes marks for trapped areas. One such trap is a pressure plate with a barely discernible “X” on the surface. The party is single file along the side of a narrow sewer walkway.

Caven, our Ranger (whispers to Cleric): “Don’t step on the ‘X’! Pass it on!”
Cleric (whispers to Sorceress): “Caven says don’t step on the X, pass it on!”
Sorceress (whispers to Rogue): “Caven says to step on the X, pass it on!”
Rogue: “Wait, what about Caven’s ex?”
Warlock: “Caven’s having sex? Dude, we’re in a sewer!”

DM (me): “Very funny. So you can all move around the trap and-”
Warlock: “What, no, that was totally in character.  We set off the trap.”
DM: “ … … .”
