Chapter 2: Into Darkness

Eldreth notices much the same as the rest of the party. At this point, the voice of Glabbagool has hit everyone's head.

You are unaware of the particular thing this temple would have been used for.

Fang, you can shift back at your leisure. At this point, I'll say about 15 minutes total has elapsed in form.

Oh, I ate him before the force awakened me. I don't know how it woke me, or even what it was. One day, I was but mindless. Now I know what I am, and what kind of a monster I was before. I no longer hunger for all that is placed before me as this unfortunate drow was. If you run from the drow, then you cannot be that bad. Perhaps you will be able to handle my full form. If you could back up slightly, I would enter the room. Anything I have is yours, simply ask. Glabbagool thinks at you.

As Dustin backs up, the skeleton, mace, and coins begin to shimmer a bit, distorted as if viewing them through water. Out of the doorway, a large block of green gel squelches its way into the room with you. The skull of the skeleton detaches from the body and moves forward in the slime, right to the edge. As Glabbagool's voice rings in your head, the bottom jaw of the skeleton moves as well.

I don't know if having a face to speak to makes this better or worse for you. However, I figured I would try it. I am a Gelatinous Cube. As for the temple, whoever it was originally dedicated is long gone from whatever memory I may have had. Lately though, there have been occasional visitors that worship something called Juiblex.

As he is speaking you all notice that cool water has been slowly rising in the room, currently about 5 inches deep.

You all find yourselves in a room (I'm assuming that the 4 players are in the room and the NPCs save for Stool are in the chamber before) with a large wiggly cube.

Cemos, your Divine Sense is kind of neutral. You get no feeling of evil or good at all.

The only way out that I know of is the way you came. But that tremor may have caused more damage. You could explore further. I've not had much of a chance to explore myself. Plus, what is interesting to an ooze is not always useful for bonebags!

I don't exactly have to eat, I just happen to consume that which enters me. This mace though, it was weird. I think the drow was carrying it when he came in. Glabbagool confesses, somewhat confused by the fact that it doesn't need nourishment.
