[QUOTE="Werebat, post: 6968165, member: 40158"] So Glabbagool was a hit with my players. Because I did a solo run with the player of the warlock whose patron is Araumycos, who went off with Glabbagool and Weequass (the flumph the party found in Gracklstugh) to help Basidia aid his patron (i.e. The Fetid Wedding), the players got to see (or read, in the Google Hangout where it all went down) Glabbagool confronting its "father", Juiblex, fighting off its demonic influence and ultimately resisting it with a telepathic shout of "There's more to life than food!" (This happened because the warlock's player left the game for a time, just as the party was leaving Neverlight Grove after learning what was really going on there. He joined Basidia and its followers in their exodus, along with Glabbagool and Weequass, and rejoined the party fortuitously just as Mistress Ilvara caught up with them as they were escaping the Underdark.) Glabbagool stayed in the Underdark with Weequass, who had become something of a mentor to it (and a friend, and something it could relate to in some ways as it also had no bones, or gender). The flumph was still looking for a colony of its kind and had invited Glabbagool to join it on its travels. AFAIK, Glabbagool never makes an appearance in the rest of the module. But could it? Is there anywhere that the sentient cube (and its flumph mentor) could show up that would be appropriate, or humorous, or (ideally) both? The party is running through the Gates of Firestorm Peak right now, getting to 8th level before making their way to Gauntlgrym and the second half of OotA. So any time after that point would work. Any ideas or suggestions? I think my players would love to see Glabbagool pop up in an unexpected place later on in the story. [/QUOTE]
