The cane Spark is using to tap in front of him suddenly comes across a slight pressure against it, the pressure releases, but a sucking sound is heard, and the cane takes on a "fuzzy" appearance.
In the far shadows of the "L" shaped room, the she-wolf's lips recede back, almost as if she were smiling. She cannot be seen by any means, but she sees all.

Right... yet ANOTHER obstacle says Waldo, emoting wildly Why is it that all the best traps are magical? Are the burning arrows, vats of acid, or bisecting blades not lethal enough anymore??
He walks to the edge of the tile on which Geoff found the irregularity. Taking out a dagger from his innumerable supply, he probes the tile cautiously.

Well, this can't be good. If you're going to be tampering with whatever this is, I'm giong to head this way... Spark says while heading behind the other two. I really don't like this lack of an escape route... *Blasted portcullis*...so I think I'll guard our backs, and examine my staff. He then goes about checking on his staff, while touching it as little as possible.

Dantri looks at his friends interestly, but has the innate fear of magic that most dwarves have, so he keeps a healthy distance from the distortion.

*Withdrawing his cane, Spark notices a thin film on his cane of some unknown substance, and the cane still looks hazy.*
*Suddenly, a pseudopod of the Gelatinous Cube swings out and slaps at Waldo's arm, paralyzing him, and begins wrapping around the arm, and drawing Waldo into the Cube itself.*

Powers above! exclaims Waldo I should've guessed...
He releases his warhammer just as the cube completely envelops. With forced motions, the ranger attempts to fight the paralysis and gain control of his motor functions

Geoff, hopefully having picked up his sword earlier, slices at the creature - his blade cutting through the gelatin with relative ease, doing minimal damage. His swing was aimed at the pod that grabbed Waldo, in the hopes of cutting him free.

Spark, realizing what's going on, tosses his Staff towards a side wall while backing away from the creature. Once he reaches the back wall, he mumbles something under his breath while directing his hand at the blob, which sends three bursts of force at it. (magic missile) What is it with this place and death?

The magic missiles hit the cube, causing its gelatinous mass to melt where it had been hit. The creature moves back slightly, and the grasp on Waldo eases.
Geoff's blade slices through the gel, but only manages to become covered in its slime.

Geoff, seeing the folly of trying to slice this cube, tries to pull Waldo from the grasp of the creature instead. "Fire seemed to work well - can anyone help me get Waldo out of here and then hit this thing with fire. Burning oil, anything."

*Well, it's not exactly fire, but whatever...* Alright, but get ready to move. Spark then pulls out a vial of oil and whips it at the base of the blob, as far away from the two as possible, while still splashing onto the cube. He then moves towards Geoff's back, pulling some bear dung from his necklace for his Strength spell. Time to beef you up. (Once reaching Geoff, Spark will cast Strength.)

Looking at the cube, Dantri curses under his breath, pulls two flasks of oil out of his pack and rips a sleve off of his tunic, then rips it in half. Keeping a wary eye on the cube, he stuffs the cloth into the the flasks, then lights them with his flint and steel, then lobs them, hoping no one in his party will be too seriously hurt.

Aahh! Spark dives out of the way of the Molotov Cocktail as best he can.

The "molotov cocktails" ignite on various areas of the cube, causing it to shudder violently as it quickly melts into an oozing, rather large puddle of goo. The coins fall to the ground, and all items are now easily accessible. There is a flaming area here and there, and it provides light to the entire "L" shaped room.
Sitting down by the door, that is on the western wall, is once again, the she-wolf.
"Well done dwarf, well done, seems one of you has the brains to be a leader. But your quest is not over yet. Collect what toys you want amongst you, and consider now this door.
Upon it is a brass plaque which reads, "A baker measures in definite numbers, but this pastry you cannot eat." Around the handle of this door are five symbols, placed as if at each point of a five pointed star. The symbols are of: a cake, pie, muffin, donut and tart. You must solve the riddle and press the correct symbol for the lock to release and the door to open. Woe to those that guess incorrectly."
*With that said, the she-wolf shimmers and disappears from sight.*
