Run away!

Yeah no, you were hired to fight dragons not slime monsters! Luckily small ones aren't very fast and before the ooze can properly orignise itself, you head off down the tunnel. You'll probbaly have to deal with the thing on the way out but by then, you'll likely have some decent loot from Prin's hoarde to aid you.

You jog on for a few hundred yards, before pausing to catch your breath. That feels like it should be far enough. It's at that moment that you hear the the sound of slithering behind you.... glancing back you see that a much larger, much faster purple ooze is approaching, filling the tunnel with its bulky girth! Purple tendrils extend and retract from the central mass, as it drags itself along and you have only a few seconds to prepar to face the horror!
