Is a clay jug considered to also be a form of stone for the purposes of whether or not green slime will eat through it?
My wizard (who knows everything) came across green slime in the underdark. He happens to have a clay jug with him and he wants to collect some samples by creating movement under the slime, causing it to drop down into his readied jug below.
One step closer to having an awesome grenade-like weapon for later use.
Yes clay is a mineral, and as such a type of Earth.
I do not think green slime would eat throw clay.
Most like the clay jug has been glazed (aka glass), to also make it not porous, so it should hold the slime in it.
If the jug is not glazed, then the porous nature might allow (up to GM), for the green slime acid (not the green slime itself), to leech out and cause problems.
PS = Yes i watch way to much PBS and Nature/nove/discovery etc.
Regardless of the clay == stone issue, for the purposes of containing Green Slime, it should work just fine. Green Slime only dissolves organic material (such as flesh) and metal. Inorganic material (including stone and clay) aren't harmed.
I would say you would be better off with a glass container.
But glass isn't the same thing as stone. It looked as though it would eat anything that wasn't stone.

Glass won't be dissolved, nor will dirt, sand, gravel, ceramic, plastic, etc.
It only affects organic material (living or dead matter) or metal.

Well, I think that settles it then! Thanks everyone.
I can't wait to dump this stuff on a BBEG's head. :D
I just had the idea to create a green slime ooze. If I do it I will post it so DM's can terrorize players everywhere.

I just had an image of that giant stone cauldron from Conan the Barbarian mounted on a castle wall, in order to pour green slime on the poor bastards climbing up, or in a murder hole, of course clean up might be a little bit of a problem.Well, I think that settles it then! Thanks everyone.

I thought that is what the alchemists fire cauldron was for...

Huh... Its looking now like its something our dm added. Clever him. I just checked out the adventure and the slime isn't there in the npc's gear, nor the syringes. Anyway, an assassin attacked and he had these MW syringes that could hold potions/poison. He rules that hey did damage as a dagger I think and if you were prof I think you could use it as a swift action to inject the contents. In this case, the green slime. Our wizard got it, first he had to take so much slashing damage to open the wound, then he had to have cold or fire damage applied to the open wound. Since it was just a really small bit of green slime I think he was only taking about 1-2 or 1-3 con a round.

You do realize that you'll have to run quickly after that because the slime will grow very fast.
Oh and you're going to destroy all the loots too... :p

We fight a lot of organic monsters that don't have loot anyways...
Also, I see absolutely nothing that says it grows terribly fast. I'm thinking, at the fastest, a drop of the stuff will turn into a pile the size of its victim in the length of time it takes for the victim to get to 0 Constitution.
