After some conversation the ooze offers its name as Glabergoul.  He seems keen to follow us and even gets excited by a fight with a grey ooze.Farther in, after some traps and more oozees, we catch Jimjar red handed, taking some stuff out of one of the rooms, for himself.  Anton tries to subtly pick pocket him, but just manages to piss him off.  It’s only some quick intervention by Welby that Jimjar comes back round.</blockquote>
