I believe we are currently in "Room 20" and the jellies are in "Room 5" (the elevator room). So Franklin has not yet scouted the "giant scorpion" area.
It seems in order to proceed we will need to deal with the jellies. Unfortunately with no wizard in the party we will have to rely on flaming oil, unless anyone has a clever plan? I believe Maloof has two flasks of oil, I'm not sure about everyone else?
One alternative plan I can think of is to lure them out of the room and follow us as we circle around (via rooms 13, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6), hopefully losing them somewhere around room 9. The problem with that is that if they return to room 5 they could cut off our retreat from the giant scorpion area and we'd still end up having to deal with them. We could also bump into another monster in one of these rooms, in which case we'd have enemies both in front of us and behind us simultaneously!
The other option is to wait them out, but who knows how long that will take (hours? days?) where we would be subject to wandering monster checks.
