Trapped by a puddle (EL - 9?)A band of goblins stumbled into this room three weeks ago, hunting for treasure, only to find their way out cut off by a Watery Ooze that had crept out of the depths behind them. After losing a couple of band members to the ooze, they figured out that if they stayed far enough back on the platform in the rear of the cave, the ooze coudn't sense them. They've been stuck there for weeks now, living off the occasional party member, waiting for the ooze to go back to where it came from elsewhere in the cave complex.The ooze will wait until the PCs are alongside the pool to attack. The goblins intend to wait until the ooze attacks them, then try slip out along the other side of the pool - (probably putting them in conflict with the PCs rearguard).Add in one young but smart goblin who wants to join forces with the PC's rather than simply feed them to the ooze as bait. (He was probably next on the menu if the goblins didn't get of out there soon...)------ under construction ------Watery OozeSize/Type:      Huge OozeHit Dice:     10d10+60 (115 hp)Initiative:     -5Speed:     20 ft.

It is up to several inches thick, and weighs about 2,000 pounds.CombatA watery ooze attacks by grabbing and squeezing their prey.Acid (Ex): The creature secretes a digestive acid that dissolves organic material and metal quickly, but does not affect stone. Any melee hit or constrict attack deals acid damage, and the opponent’s armor and clothing dissolve and become useless immediately unless they succeed on DC 21 Reflex saves. A metal or wooden weapon that strikes a watery ooze also dissolves immediately unless it succeeds on a DC 21 Reflex save. The save DCs are Constitution-based.The ooze’s acidic touch deals 21 points of damage per round to wooden or metal objects, but it must remain in contact with the object for 1 full round to deal this damage.Constrict (Ex): A watery ooze deals automatic slam and acid damage with a successful grapple check. The opponent’s clothing and armor take a –4 penalty on Reflex saves against the acid.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a watery ooze must hit with its slam attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.Watery (Ex): A watery Ooze resembles a puddle of water so closely that it takes a DC 15 Spot check to notice one. When inside a body of water, it counts as invisible.</blockquote>
