12. Laboratory

This room appears to be a laboratory. A variety of glassware, some filled with fluids of various unhealthy colors, is spread across two worktables, one along the left-hand wall and the other against the far wall. A smaller table, more like a desk, is positioned near the right-hand wall; it bears a large book and an ink bottle with a quill pen sticking out of it. A chair stands nearby, pushed back against the wall. In the middle of the room stands a large cauldron, which appears to be filled with tar. The "tar" is actually a small black jelly which is dormant. If the cauldron is disturbed, the "tar" touched or probed, or if any living creature stands within 5' for more than 3 rounds, the monster will awaken and rear up out of the cauldron, attacking the nearest character.
