The cube wobbles at first as the flask containing dragonfire tar shatters against a shard of bone inside it. Then, a spark bursts forth, and seemingly devouring the curious monster from the inside-out. Something's feeding the conflagration - is it possible that acid which composes the gelatinous cube is easily combusted?
15 fire damage to cube.
The ranger wracks his memories for any information he might know about a gelatinous cube. What he remembers isn't encouraging.
Nature 10 (Lore)
Ten-by-ten feet gelatinous cubes are usually found slowly patrolling in caves and underground dungeons. In fact, its size is usually perfectly adapted to a standard dungeon corridor. What's this beast doing outdoors?
Nature 15 (Resistances and attributes)
The brutish gelatinous cube is composed entirely of acid, and can resist digestive enzymes. The slow lumbering cube is supposedly blind, and relies entirely on ground vibrations to find its prey. Too bad kobolds can't fly.
Nature 20 (Attacks)
Gelatinous cubes immobilize adjacent unwary victims with Slam, and then engulf immobilized creatures to digest at their leisure. Nobody has told him what happens to creatures that get pulled into the ooze. Or more likely, no one's survived to tell the tale. But the bits of undigested detritus swirling inside the cube gives him a pretty good idea what to expect.

Well, ranged attacks it is, the kobold decides. He winds up for his savage hand axe throw. completely forgetting he's right next to it. Sensing his movement through the ground, the blind ooze attempts to interrupt Ebony's attack. The ranger handily dodges the creature's attack of opportunity, but his point blank attack merely glances off the cube's smooth 'skin'.
Launching himself into a move, Ebony looks for some other creature to stab, moving all the way to the chariot's back. Alas, the cube is the only opponent in sight. Oh well, maybe next time, cube!
Its meal prospects appear to have moved back. The cube follows after Ivory's careful footsteps, and forms a rather large fist to sock him in the jaw. Sensing danger to its master, the dire wolf reacts to the cube's movement with a bite. The wolf quickly realizes that gelatinous cubes are not tasty, and quickly spits out a chunk of goo from its mouth.
The huge fist dissolves back into the cube, thanks to vibrations from the opportunity bite. Still, the cube's move releases much-needed adenosine triphosphate that quenches the dragonfire tar that was hithereto burning the ooze alive.
Wolf is still immobilized.
