This area contains the skeletal remains of a drow,
along with a dark metal mace and a scattering of coins.
However, the characters are quick to notice that these
tems appear to hover above I he stone floor.

gelatinous cube named Glabbagool-or at least, that's
.':'hat it has chosen to call itself. Unlike most gelatinous
-::ubes, this monster has an Intelligence of 10 (+O) and
•elepathy out to a range of 60 feet (see the Monster
- lanual introduction for telepathy rules).
