"Well, I am Oorr, I come from the surface. Nice to meet you... I guess."
"Hello Oorr from the surface. It is indeed very nice to meet you. Welcome to this temple! I hope you are not hear to harm it... the last person who came was very vile indeed, and I was forced... to deal with him. But that was some time ago."
As the skeleton, mace, and coins shiver a little while the voice in your head speaks, you notice what appears to be a faint outline of something just barely visible in the torch light. The outline forms somewhat of a clear box around the skeleton and items. You lose sight of it, and have to move the torch around slightly to see it again, but it's definitely there.
"So...Glabbagool...have you been nearby a long time? Do you know of any...city we can reach?"
"I... do not. I have not traveled beyond the temple... though I wish to. I could show you the way out! You must be careful. There are others... not so enlightened... and places you should not... step."
OOC: stupid question ? is the voice coming from the skeleton is from somewhere else ?
"Hi, I am Grimnir. I am a dwarf. Could you tell us what type of creature you are ? It is very nice to meet someone to talk to that doesn't want to kill us"
You also see the outline of a clear box like shape around the objects. Based on the types of creatures you've seen so far in the area, you surmise this might be another kind of ooze. The objects you see are not actually moving, rather they are encased in something that is moving.

"Hi, I am Grimnir. I am a dwarf. Could you tell us what type of creature you are ? It is very nice to meet someone to talk to that doesn't want to kill us"
"Grimnir, yes, I have seen some like you before. It is a pleasure! I am... well I am Glabbagool, as I have said. I don't know what to say that I am, except that I have not known any like me. Ah, but of course, you are having trouble seeing. I forget sometimes I tend to...blend in."
As the voice says this, something changes, and all of you witness a clear gelatinous cube move from back at the end of the room about five feet towards you, where it stops. The skeleton, mace, and coins move with it, though motionless themselves. After it stops, it again becomes nearly imperceptible with out careful concentration.
"I do not want to kill you, you are far too interesting for that and you seem... nice. But be careful not to come too close. I am... harmful if touched as you can probably see."
OOC: Gelatinous cube! Run! Run before it kills us all! (I got a TPK on two 4th-level characters with a [Tooltip Not Found] once).
With your nature check, I'll also point out that you've never, ever, had an ooze talk to you telepathically. Something is very odd about this creature. It seems rather intelligent.
Grimnir adds, trying to be very polite: "It is very nice to meet such civilised people Glabbagool, can we do something for you, could you let us pass please?"

"I would very much like to explore... beyond the temple. If it is not too much trouble, perhaps I could... join you? I can show you to the exit and you... well, you could show me to where it is you are going. Here, you may also have these. I have... no need of them." Glabbagool shifts five feet to the left, leaving an open path to the Northern hall. As he does so, the coins, mace, and skeleton are disgorged into the space he was previously occupying. The coins bounce and roll, but the mace drops with a heavy metallic thud. The bones, loosely held together by a little remaining tissue and skin, clatter to the floor in a pile.

"This is very nice of you Glabbagool", Grimnir is picking up the gold and check up on the mace (skill?) "Well, I don't see to much of a problem... This journey have been already quite insane... so travelling a bit with a gelatinous cube, yeah sure... but please keep your distance from us...it would be a shame to injure ourselves"
OOC: I would like also to sense if the cube is telling all the truth : Insight15

It is very hard to get a read on an ooze. The normal audible voice and body language clues aren't there. However, the voice in your head seems very sincere, and the ooze has taken no hostile action since you arrived. You have no reason to believe it is lying. If it had wanted to eat you, it could have just stayed silent and let you walk into it.
Glabbagool responds, "Oh yes, I will be careful, in fact, I will lead the way, and you can stay back. There are....others in this temple who may not like your... presence."
With that, the ooze begins a slow, steady pace towards the Northern exit. It's much easier to spot when it's moving.
The coins are actually electrum pieces, 14 in total (7 gold). The mace is made of a dark metal, and seems well crafted. (Investigation or Arcana).
"I don't think it's a good idea.." He mutters to himself. Then, Valrish quickly rushes to grab the coins. He puts half of them in his bag. "Anyone want these?" He asks his friends.
