I too encountered these petrified protoplasmic horrors referred to as "Rock Jellies" in the Abandoned Mines, but I didn't immediately associate them with Freyedies creepy stories of the "Living Rock". As soon as he mentioned that phrase, I had dire visions of Iron Golems or indeed Moiraine, an elemental of some kind. I tend to lean more towards the rock jellies than the lava pups as an association due to their literal 'rockness'. I could also very easily imagine the crazies encountering them whilst mining (workin' all day!) and engaging (workin's my way!) them desperately in (singing my song!) suitably crazy fashion. (all the day long!) Arggh! Enough already ye Cacophonic stout, dieeeeeeeeeeeee! Blat!
I don't think it helped the dissociation with the jellies that they actually looked like the green slimes, as if they looked more 'rockular', it would make more sense that it was what Freyedies was referring to.
But hmmmmm...an interesting little tid bit for sure!
I would have really liked to have met Brinbath's ghost or have something do with his legacy down in the mines, as I'd imagined there would be many nice possibilities to tie more plots up with Rethpian and Bilbump as well.
I've definitely had the most drama's and difficulty in those dwarfian depths so far!
Still boogred for brew,
