"Hey gang, Presto here. You may not remember me, but I've been trapped in the Realm of Dungeons & Dragons since the 1980's! In that time, I've encountered a whole ton of nasty Monsters, Wizards, and crazy world-destroying magic items, and other crap, than you can shake a stick at. Thanks to a combination of my Magic Hat, and Ringlerun's Orb of Scrying, I've managed to make contact with Bodhi, the owner of Quantum Comics, and he's asked me to give my 2 cents on a variety of things that you guys have in your game (apparently you guys get together and play a game that somehow involves a pretend version of the world that I live in? I don't know, I don't get it...). Anyway, in exchange for news of the regular world, I agreed to it, so here goes..."
Check out this nasty beast. This is the Yochlol. Its basically a kind of shapeshifting secret agent for Lolth, the Demon Queen ruler of the Dark Elves, AKA Drow. This repugnant form that you see to you left is their actual true form, that kind of resembles a one-eyed tree made of melted wax (YUCK!). Yochlol's themselves are in fact demons. But what makes Yochlol's different from your average, everyday demon, is the fact that they don't really care one wit about the infamous Blood War, that's been fought between Devils and Demons for as long as anyone can remember; instead, they only care about serving Lolth. Another way in which Yochlol's are unique, is the way that they didn't fight amongst themselves (lets face it, demons are nuts!), and could be reasoned with, and often even fell in love with mortals. Now, I can already hear you saying, "Come on Presto, how could anyone fall in love with a nasty, one-eyed, multi-limbed, booger-monster like that?"
Well, my good adventurer, let me tell you...

This is how! Most often, the Yochlol would appear as a slightly taller, and extremely attractive female Drow. And let me tell you, that was a much better visual! Aside from this preferred option, the Yochlol could also transform themselves into a giant, venomous spider, as well as a noxious gas cloud. So, fighting them can be a really tough time! In addition, they've got a number of mental/psionic defences to boot! An if you are unfortunate enough to have to face one of these demons in combat, look out, because they are able to constantly shift between these forms to really make you day a crappy one! And even worse, they rarely will fight alone. That's it for this edition, guys and gals. May your adventures be awesome!
"Alright, first up is that nasty little (well, not really little at all) creature, known as the Gelatinous Cube. This thing is essentially a cube-shaped blob of sentient acid, that wanders around trying to find stuff (usually people) to ingest. Luckily, its not too bright, and if you know what you're looking for, you can easily avoid it. Unfortunately, the damn thing can also turn itself almost completely invisible when it stands still, which can make you walk right into it; that actually happened to Eric, it ended up burning off most of his cloths, it was hilarious! But then, it ended up picking up speed, and before we knew it, half the party was engulfed by the Cube, slowly being suffocated, and burnt to a skeleton! Boy, we had to really be careful not to hit our companions while we took it out; fortunately, it doesn't have any immunities, so regular weapons are able to do a decent amount of damage. They inhabit Dungeons usually, and are rarely seen out in the wild.
Another thing that makes these creatures really dangerous is how others (usually dangerous Sorcerers/Wizards) use them, such as putting them at the bottom of a pit trap, within some kind of maze that they trap you in, or even when they have them catapulted at you, hurtling through the air like a corrosive missile of doom! Anyway, that's it for now. May your adventures be merry. Later!"
