Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mike Mikesh" data-source="post: 7314892" data-attributes="member: 6923829">The Oozing TempleI treated the Oozing Temple in Out of the Abyss as a <a href="http://www.realmshelps.net/charbuild/races/under/slyth.shtml" target="_blank">slyth</a> pilgrimage site dedicated to Jannath (Chauntea).  Reality at that shrine was altered by the passage of Juiblex reshaping and desecrating it into something blasphemous honoring the Faceless Lord.Glabbagool was a curious, even playful, "gelatinous cube."  It preserved a drow skeleton inside it to use much like a puppet (albeit slow motion) with which it tried to imitate those around him.  Animated to appear as if walking, the boots of speed on the skeleton had the effect of doubling the cube's speed continuously allowing it to stay up with the party.The skeleton held a copper mace of kuo-toan styling, the head of which was shaped like a bloated spiny fish.  Magical, the head could ignite producing a green, slow waving torch flame that would not be extinguished even underwater.  A blow delivered an additional 1 point of fire damage.  Glabbagool never used it as a weapon, only as a light that gave the cube an eerie green glow.During a battle with black puddings in our game, a PC asked to borrow the bludgeoning weapon, and the cube obliged.  Suddenly, the drow skeleton froze and started separating into disorganized bones, and the cube acted strangely.  The PC wisely pushed the mace back in immediately.As they soon learned, Glabbagool was not a gelatinous cube.  It was the mace, a sentient weapon that saw itself as the cube it controlled.  Originally, Glabbagool was a kuo-toan explorer touring the temple and was caught when Juiblex arrived.  Although the cube metabolized the body, it preserved its goggler eyes, keeping them nourished when it discovered it could actually see through them (inspired by the depiction of Glabbagool on page 34).[ATTACH]92685[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
