Long ago the archemage Ormidius fought a marauding Tarrasque, an epic battle that nearly cost him his life. Standing before the mountainous corpse of the monster, its neck smoothely severed by a disintegration blast, Ormidious foresaw the future, and new that time would come when the world would once again be threatened by the all but invincible Tarrasque. So he determined to craft a weapon that would allow others to defeat the monster, with greater ease than he had.

So for weeks he studied the massive corpse, taking samples, analysing them, subjecting them to various treatments, searching for a weakness. Then he gathered to him his most trusted servants, and together they vanished into the Underdark. A month passed, two, and finally the remerged, bearing with them strange casks writ with sigils of dire warning. These were stowed deep within the vaults beneath Ormidious' tower, or high above, in some lofty library shelf, none can agree where. What all agree on, however, is that within the casks, each small enough to be carried with one arm, lies a deadly secret: Black Puddings, hunted from the Underdark, suspended in shrunken and lifeless form within the jars. Once broken, the jar releases its contents, and the Pudding emerges. These were to be hurled by trebuchet or dropped by fliers on the head of the Tarrasque, when it arose. The insatiable appetite of the Pudding with its grisly grip of acid was ideally suited to inflict injury upon the otherwise nearly impregnable hide of the behemoth.

But centuries passed, and Ormidious died. His tower fell into abandonment and disrepare: fools searching for treasure filched hundreds of priceless artifacts, and among these taken were the casks. From there, they disappear from history. If any were to be found, they could constitute great value to the possessor; or should he fail to heed the words of warning, prove his ghastly undoing.
