| Edging along the eastern edge of the
Mere is the High Road, a vital and well-traveled route linking Waterdeep to
the northern town of Leilon and, north of that, the city of Luskan. Over the
past several months, the trade road between Waterdeep and Leilon has been
plagued by monsters from the Mere. Caravans report brutal attacks by lizard
men on catoblepas mounts, yuan-ti, gargantuan bullywugs, and will o' wisps.
There have even been confirmed sightings of a huge black lizard skulking
through the Mere. Sir Justin Melenikus, a Waterdhavian knight and paladin of
Helm, has grown weary of these attacks and offered his services to the city.
Sir Justin and his watchers (specialty priest of Helm) recently left
Waterdeep and headed north, clearing bandits out of the ruins of the
demilich Iniarv's tower (on the edge of the Mere) and turning the site into
their encampment. Melenikus and his watchers have garnered enthusiastic support from the Lords of Waterdeep, the Waterdhavian Merchants' Guild, and the local Adventurers' Guild. In fact, a notice has been posted prominently in the Adventurers' Guildhall: "Sir Justin Melenikus, a renowned knight of Helm, needs brave and hearty adventurers to help slay monstrous threats from the dreaded Mere of Dead Men. Fell creatures have been attacking caravans on the High Road, slaughtering travelers, and endangering Waterdeep's trade with its northern neighbors. Unless the monsters are defeated, all trade to the north could be halted. Sir Justin and his watchers have made camp in the ruins of Iniarv's Tower, located four days' walk toward Leilon. Interested parties should meet with Sir Justin in person. "Rewards for slain monsters shall be authorized by Sir Justin. Gold shall be paid by the Free Merchants' Guild upon presentation of a stamped writ from the knight himself." A handful of adventurers have already left the city for Iniarv's Tower, a ruins located in the foothills east of the Mere. Luckily, there are enough monsters in the Mere of Dead Men to occupy more than a few adventurous bands. Using divination spells, the watchers have determined that a great evil lurks in the Mere, and that the recent attacks on the High Road are somehow related. Sir Justin is sending several groups into the swamp to rout the monsters. Will you be counted amongst their number? |
