Glabbagool sounds aghast, saying, "I have what inside me?" The mass quivers and the contents of Glabbagool gets pushed out, falling onto the ground with a clatter. "Well, that was satisfying!"
Answering Rodolfo's question, "I don't think I can push, only swallow. I can carry things inside me apparently, if they are not tasty."
Rodolfo slowly walks a bit closer to Glabbagool now that he's almost all see-through, "I'll hand you some rope, see if you can carry it or if it's tasty. Would be helpful if you could carry it."
And he throws the end of his rope towards it, aiming for like a foot or two of it to "reach inside".
The rope 'splats' against the outer surface of Glabbagool's form, holding there for an instant before gravity begins pulling it down to the floor. The end of the rope sizzles, slowly dissolving. Once on the ground, Glabbagool moves a couple of inches forward, over the rope. For a few minutes, Rodolfo watches the foot of rope underneath Glabbagool's form turn into a liquid.
"Hey, uh, Yabba-Dabba-Dool... whatever your name is... You've been around this place and you can squeeze into small openings. Have you been in the place above this one, the place where the water is coming from? Maybe you know what is up there, and how deep the water is to get to the surface.
"Oh yeah, do you eat black puddings? We killed one in that passage, over that way. If you are still hungry, you could snack on that, if the water hasn't washed it away."

Glabbagool responds, "I have been in this home since the moment of my sentience. I do not recall any other place. Although, I do need to leave to meet a king.
If Glabbagool is not blocking the exit then Rodolfo will go and peer down the tunnel they came from - is the water visibly raising there on the other side? (he's not jumping the hole)
(also, would Glabbagool be living or non-living material when it comes to prestidigitation ? :) )
(Glabbagool was 'carrying' a skeleton, coins and a mace. Glabbagool is considered a living creature. Glabbagool is occupying all of the space in the hallway leading out of the fountain room.)
Glabbagool responds, "I do not know if this place has a name. I have been here since my sentience, but I do not remember consuming those things, so I must have arrived before my sentience. I do know there were many more like myself, less like all of you. You have ended many of the screamers."
Narstin continues hammering larger and larger rocks into the opening fissure, water pouring out faster than at first. He is making progress, but it is slow. (+2 hours)
Elapsed Time: 9 hours, 45 minutes + 9 squares
Suddenly the party telepathically hears several individual "FLESH FOR THE FACELESS GOD!" screams.
Glabbagool shudders, moaning, "Ahh, not again!"
The party can see, through Glabbagool's transparent form, several more black oozes trying to push past Glabbagool.
Glabbagool seems confused as he asks, "Do you speak to me? If I do not let them pass, they will keep screaming for flesh for their god. I do not know how long I can bear hearing it..."

Rodolfo says, "Yeah, that didn't work. Was worth a try though."
Narstin begins his hour long task of driving wedges into the fissure. (1st hour)
Elapsed time: 5 hours, 45 minutes + 9 squares
At the first blows of Narstin's mace, Glabbagool exclaims, "Beware! Something noisy approaches."
Rodolfo takes his short rest
Since this took way longer than he was expecting - Skameros has untied himself from the statue so he can wander around during all the pounding
"Blob of drool...something is coming? Maybe you can eat it...."

Glabbagool responds, "The Skameros offers itself as a drow tasty?"
Skameros thinks for a moment
"No you eat whatever tasty is coming?" and he'll move a bit farther from Glabagool

Puddings? Are those food?"
Narstin continues the task of driving wedges into the fissure. (2nd hour)
Elapsed time: 6 hours, 45 minutes + 9 squares
"you called this place home, do you know what this place is?" Skameros is now starting to get curious about the talking jell-o mold
Also he spit out whatever he was carrying - was it anything interesting? I can't recall

(While you respond to the previous post, I'll continue with Narstin's progress)
Narstin continues the task of driving wedges into the fissure. (3rd hour)
Elapsed time: 7 hours, 45 minutes + 9 squares

"Try to keep them off of me," Narstin says. "Unless you want this to take even longer than it already is!"
