...welcome to ADVENTURE QUEST, a deadly roguelike powered by imagination and mechanics. ADVENTURE QUEST is an open game that everyone can play, so don't be shy - read on and join in!
It's easy; learn the rules as you go! Follow the prompts, and be careful - permadeath is a cruel mistress. This isn't a game of Pathfinder!
Before you undertake a QUEST, let's recruit a LEADER for your ADVENTURER'S GUILD.
Suggest a race and class for your LEADER. If no race is specified, your LEADER will be HUMAN.
Ah what the heck, lets see what this insanity entails. I vote for our leader to be a..
Goblin Feral-Gnasher Barbarian.
Yep, I went there.

Yep, I went there.
You've recruited a FERAL GOBLIN BARBARIAN to be he LEADER of your ADVENTURER'S GUILD. Your ADVENTURER'S GUILD has enough PRESTIGE to recruit up to two more ADVENTURERS.
Will you continue recruiting, or look for a QUEST?
Recruit. Human female cleric of Gorum.

You've recruited a HUMAN CLERIC OF THE IRON BATTLE-GOD. Your ADVENTURER'S GUILD has enough PRESTIGE to recruit up to one more ADVENTURER.
Will you continue recruiting, or look for a QUEST?

Go on a quest!
QUEST!
Recruit. Male Gnome Illusionist Wizard.
You've recruited a GNOMISH PHANTASMIST. Your ADVENTURER'S GUILD has run out of PRESTIGE! It's time to go on a QUEST!
A local LORD has offered you a QUEST. The GODDART FAMILY TOMB has become overrun with strange, slimy creatures since his uncle, Hewart Goddart, was entombed. Investigate the slime, and purge it from the mausoleum.
GNASHER, the FERAL GOBLIN BARBARIAN has no LORE - he doesn't know about any additional quests!
VALARIOT, the HUMAN CLERIC OF THE IRON BATTLE-GOD is unable to unearth any additional quests (LORE roll failed).
NORBYN, the GNOMISH PHANTASMIST unearths a quest (LORE roll succeeded). MATHIRIX, THE DRIDER QUEEN has overrun a ruined temple in UPPER OPENWOOD. The ruin has been converted into a shrine to the XAXA, MISTRESS OF ARACHNOS; it must be purged before the DRIDER QUEEN hatches her brood upon the ALTAR OF XAXA.
Will GNASHER, VALARIOT, and NORBYN journey to the GODDART FAMILY TOMB, or the ALTAR OF XAXA?
TOMB! Looks appropriate for their level.
Tomb! Agreed!
Your ADVENTURER'S GUILD undertakes a QUEST for a local LORD. Your ADVENTURER'S GUILD has enough SUPPLIES to send GNASHER, VALARIOT, and NORBYN on the QUEST.
Your QUEST begins!

GNASHER, VALARIOT, and NORBYN arrive at the entrance to the GODDART FAMILY TOMB, a stately mausoleum of pale stone. The mausoleum guards have been dismissed in light of the recent strangeness, and the local LORD has assured you that the mausoleum's wrought iron gates will remain unlocked. Only one entrance is evident - a short stone structure.
GNASHER's FERAL GOBLIN senses detect a bad smell. GNASHER cannot identify the smell.
Gnasher throws down the weapons he's unproficient in, aka the axes, and charges into the entrance.

This isn't a game of Pathfinder!
Your PARTY awaits instruction!
Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!
Time to kick the door in!
Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!
GNASHER leads the PARTY into the mausoleum vestibule. Inside the simple stone chamber, a staircase leads downward into the CENOTAPH FOYER, an ovoid room lined with dozens of shallow alcoves, each containing a large clay urn about as tall as GNASHER himself.
There are two exits from this room: a STAIRCASE leading UP to the surface, and an ARCHWAY leading elsewhere. As your PARTY reaches the base of the STAIRCASE, two humanoid creatures shuffle through the doorway. Each appears corpse-like, but coated from head to toe in some kind of transparent green gel.
GNASHER has no LORE - he cannot identify the creatures!
VALARIOT is caught by SURPRISE! She cannot yet act.
NORBYN is caught by SURPRISE! He cannot yet act.

NORBYN's LORE identifies the UNIDENTIFIED CORPSES as AMOEBIC OOZES. While not truly undead, AMOEBIC OOZES are animated by the alchemically-enlarged amoebic mass that engulfs it, hijacking the bodily functions of the host corpse. An AMOEBIC OOZE loses MASS whenever it loses HEALTH, reducing its overall strength.

Since this isn't a "Pathfinder game" per se, could I be a 3.5 Tome of Magic Binder? How about a Ghul Lord from 2nd-Edition's Complete Sha'ir's Handbook?
You will probably have to wait a bit until they can recruit another

An UNIDENTIFIED GIANT OOZE enters the CENOTAPH FOYER, occupying the ARCHWAY. It resembles a gigantic protoplasmic mass, easily the size of a wagon.
NORBYN's LORE identifies the UNIDENTIFIED GIANT OOZE as a GIANT AMOEBIC PROTOPLASM. Unlike an AMOEBIC OOZE, a GIANT AMOEBIC PROTOPLASM is capable of manifesting pseudopods to defend itself without a host (though if its MASS is reduced, it may seek one).

The initial spiel made it sound like new people could just jump in. That, and I thought I already saw a 4th person jump in independently of the initial "ADVENTURER'S GUILD" roster.
Anyone can make a suggestion for what any of the three "PC's" do on their next turn. This provides variety in options.
