In the city of Waterdeep rests a tavern called the Yawning Portal, named after the gaping pit in its common room. At the bottom of this crumbling shaft is a labyrinthine dungeon shunned by all but the most daring adventurers. Known as Undermountain, this dungeon is the domain of the mad wizard Halaster Blackcloak. Long has the Mad Mage dwelt in these forlorn depths, seeding his lair with monsters, traps, and mysteries—to what end is a constant source of speculation and concern. Last time on the dungeon of the mad mage: Our heroes left off deep into the depths of the fungi forest, unaware of what’s to come as they being to travel deeper, overcoming their fears of creatures that lurk into the night. As they spent a night there realizing quite quickly, that they weren’t alone as they had fought off creatures the hunting upon those that were not prepared or not watchful upon the first or second watch of the late night. Big large bulbous eyes would appear from the corners of the room and lash out with these wet long tentacles that would grapple and grasp our heroes. Vanquishing two of them as they knew they had to keep double watch that night and ever more upon the next time they slept. As the fungi forest isn’t a place to merely pick flowers and prance around it was a place for those to dwell and feed off the weak it would seem as if there was a rather bigger picture to be found down below. We will join the cause and aid our heroes in undiscover the secret deep in the undermountain? Or will flee and run away and never return. Level 1 to 20 epic adventure! The group is currently level 8.
