Schlumpsha the Sewer King

Schlumpsha the Sewer King is an olive slime encountered in the sewers beneath Baldur's Gate, surrounded by his Sewerfolk. The creature was a former mage that appears to have transformed itself into a slime. It comments on how it has heard of Gorion's Ward even down in such lowly places as the sewer. It is possible to kill Schlumpsha after choosing certain dialogue options, though one may also cause it and the sewerkin to leave peacefully if you don't provoke it into fighting.
If you choose the right dialogue path, Schlumpsha will reveal the total number of times that you will encounter Sarevok in the game.
==Gameplay==
*Schlumpsha attacks at 20 ft range and with a speed factor of 1. It deals 1d4 missile damage with a THAC0 bonus of 4 (effectively 12). Unless a save vs. death with a penalty of 4 is made, this attack incrementally decreases the target's strength by 2 for 10 rounds.
*The sewerfolks are worth 1575 exp and Schlumpsha is worth 2500 exp. Their loot is a mix of gold and non-magical items.
==Trivia==
*As Schlumpsha reads the protagonist's mind and memories, one possible reply is to confirm the probings: "Candlekeep. Until this springtide it was the only place I had ever known." However, this statement is independent of any actual passage of time during the story events, meaning it could have been mere weeks or multiple years since the protagonist left Candlekeep.
==Bugs==
* In the original Baldur's Gate, the Sewer King is a mage, rather than what its appearance implies: an olive slime. This is fixed in the Enhanced Edition.
