D&D 5E Glabagool mount

Funny, that's almost exactly the same voice I used! I did a very dumb Lumpy Space Princess riff.

My PCs are likely going to meet Glabagool next session, and I plan to use the voice and mannerisms of this guy for him, adding in the "charm" of an ooze who has only very recently become sentient:

I'm going to run it that the dead drow inside of the cube was its first experience with "food" that could talk. Not knowing any better, it proceeded to eat the "food" while talking to it, only to learn that talking food stops talking after you eat it. It feels kind of bad about that, but now knows to be more careful with the PCs once it meets them.

Why isn't glababool a full party member? I think he would be a good wizard

*imagine a gelatinous cube with a pointy hat, a staff sticking out of one side and a giant scarf wrap around it*

What about giant hat, and a rapier?

You mean http://rustyandco.com/comic/36/ ?

You have made a powerful argument there.

When we recently encountered Glabagool it reminded me of an encounter I wrote for a 4e RPGA MYRE adventure at our local conventions. It involved a trio of unique oozassins: sentient oozes dispatched by Ghaunadaur to ambush and kill the PCs. (Yes, I came up with the word 'oozassins'. No, you cannot use it.)

The team consisted of:

Gelatinous Cube Elite Brute – With a pair of deathstalker daggers floating inside it that it could manipulate. They were a triggered action attack if an engulfed PC attempted any action other than escape.

Rimefire Ooze Elite Controller – Wielding an orb of ultimate imposition to really annoy the PCs trying to make their saves against its various nasty effects.

Shadow Slime Elite Lurker – Infused with an ironskin belt to give it some much needed durability while it dished out all that scary sneak attack damage.

This was all years ago. WotC probably got wind of it at some point and decided to steal the idea from me... Yeah, I'm sure of it... That's exactly what they did... Nesty devseses.

LOL my players thought I was doing an LSP imitation too, at first!
