Encounter: G.G. Allin, orc biker-cleric of Gruumsh. I was gonna say he was human but then I noticed that what I had thought was a weird mustache is actually his tusks, thinly disguised to go among humans and spread the word.

Encounter: warrior-priest keepers of the ancient words of power; adventurers serving them are granted use of three of the words

The keepers are fickle and unpredictable, however, and whatever promises they make may be changed. Any adventurer who crosses them or refuses to take on an additional quest may be subject to a fourth word of power, Eqi-Eqi-Eqi-Eqi-Pikang-Zuum-Bong-Umbl-Umbl, a dread spell that curses the adventurers to fail at whatever their life’s goal is and their life’s work to remain forever disappointed.

Apparently, according to the Forgotten Realms wiki, there are drow clerics that follow the ooze god Ghaunadaur and form partnerships with Black Puddings, so if anybody wants to incorporate Venom into a campaign, 2002′s City of the Spider Queen already basically made it happen

So yeah, encounter: Eh-Di Braak, cleric of the ooze god, once spurned by a priestess of Lolth, using his Black Pudding partner in mockery of the spider-goddess
