If you go down deep enough in the Undercity one of the most common hazards is grey ooze. These gelatinous perils paralyze with a touch and then envelop their prey carrying them, still alive, down deeper into the tunnels and abandoned buildings that riddle the underbelly of the City of Shuttered Windows. The only reason more of them aren’t around is that the troglodyte brothers of the Temple of Alberon (29.14.10) go out of their way to destroy them.
If you follow the oozes down into deep into the Undercity you will find their source: the mucus that drips from a great leering face as grey and dull as old steel. This is Ghar Zaghoan, a great presence from another plane of existence who was trying to enter the City when its many windows slammed shut (29.14.13). Here he has remained ever since.
Ghar Zaghoan has grown increasingly bored over the centuries and he hopes that his grey oozes will bring him people who were more entertaining than the last batch.
Hooks:
- Why do the troglodytes go after the grey oozes with special fervor?
- Who has been paralyzed by grey ooze and taken down to entertain Ghar Zaghoan?
- What does such a presence from another plane consider entertaining?
- Is there any way for him to get unstuck?
