Beegred will position himself to be on the opposite side of the ooze from Jimjar. That way, if the ooze moves away from either one of them, they will get an attack of opportunity. (Also, if either of them are hurting, they can disengage while the other keeps the ooze in place.)

Beegred has on his acid-damaged shield, and uses his last spell slot to cast Hunter's Mark as a bonus action. He swings with the magic short sword twice at the Black Pudding (piercing damage). "Shaddup, you're giving Glabbadrool a headache."

Skameros's javelin easily strikes the large creature. The javelin mostly disappears inside the amorphous form, and quickly dissolves. Skameros sees plenty of stone chunks that must have belonged to the statue that stood above the fountain.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
End of round 1.
Jimjar deception check: 15 vs. Black Pudding insight check: 5
Jimjar continues to keep the attention of the black pudding while taking the dodge action.
The black pudding attacks Jimjar...
Pseudopod Attack: 7 Damage: 32
... but the ooze makes a wide sweep that Jimjar can't evade. Jimjar is left smoking as the blow and acid take their toll. Jimjar's armor also succumbs to the acid.
Rodolfo looks at others, "Can we take those one at the time?"
Rodolfo turns to the cube, "Glabbagool, can you eat them?"
Jimjar offers, "I can possibly stand there in defensive posture while you take it down with ranged attacks. Then we switch and take on another one."
"Glabbagool, would you be able to let just one through at the time? Also, I might be able to help you not hear their screams for a bit."
Glabbagool answers, "I can let them pass but I can not eat them. I would very much like to not hear them!"
Jimjar says, "I will use some magic on you. It might help for a bit."
He will cast blindness/deafness on it, the deafness part.
Skameros looks at Narstin and looks at Glabagool and looks at the ceiling and contemplates for a moment
"Yabba Dabba Doo.....can you let one pass at a time? We will deal with them." and he moves closer with his last javelin.

How do you want to position yourselves when Glabbagool lets one pass?
Note: Narstin is working on the alcove at 3 o'clock. (ie: j/k-10/11)
Jimjar at the front, actively taking Dodge action every turn.
Rodolfo stays where he is on the map, seems like he would have line of sight.
How about this?

Initiative:
Jimjar takes the Dodge action.
The black pudding attacks Jimjar...
Pseudopod Attack: 18 Damage: 24
... but Jimjar sidesteps the attack.
(Everyone else. Narstin can participate.. I won't make it complicated for nothing.)

Rodolfo shoots a ray of frost at it: Attack: 17 Damage: 4
Jimjar spits at the Black Pudding and stays in Dodge.
Beegred stabs the large ooze twice, scoring good damaging hits but suffers from 4 acid damage as the wounds gush the contents of the creature.
Rodolfo hits the ooze with a ray of frost, causing the outer shell to freeze and harden at the impact point.
(Skameros and Narstin)
Skameros uses his last javelin
[Javelin: 8 Damage: 6 piercing]
and looks around for rocks or other things to throw at it next
