In the hills near the Sword Coast is an old, abandoned temple to the goddess Mystra. A young halfling wizard named Raoul Footpad finds the abandoned temple and converts it into a laboratory. One day, Raoul returns home to the village of Prairiedale, only to find his parents gravely ill. With few options for their recovery, Raoul becomes obsessed with creating a magic spell to cure them. He and his assistant work feverishly to find the right magic, but instead they release calamity upon this portion of the world. Raoul is transformed into a hideous monster, and undead now inhabit the laboratory. ๐๐ž๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐ž๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ฒ๐ž๐ซ ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐š ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ ๐›๐ž๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐›๐ž๐ ๐ข๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ง๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ ๐š๐๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž? ๐–๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐š ๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐ž๐ญ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ก๐š๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ฒ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐›๐ž๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐ซ๐ญ ๐ฒ๐ž๐ญ ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐  ๐š๐๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž? ๐Ž๐ซ ๐๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ง๐ž๐ž๐ ๐š ๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐œ๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐ข๐ ๐ง ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐š๐ฅ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐๐ฒ ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ ? ๐“๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐’๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐‚๐จ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐’๐ข๐๐ž ๐๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ!

The Dysmal Swamp is a coastal wetland that stretches over 100 square miles. Devoid of any urbanization, the ecosystem enjoyed its dank sanctuary. A community of bullywugs called the swamp home for generations, hunting and maintaining the balance of the land. The land also appealed to the Belange Company, a wicked fey-run enterprise making cheap magic items, who needed a secluded location far from both thieves and oversight. When the Belange Company established their magical workshop in the swamp, the bullywugs attempted to drive them off. However, the Belange Companyโ€™s supply of magical items provided enough firepower to protect their endeavor, and many bullywugs fell in the initial conflicts. The Belange Company began crafting scores of magical items to be sold across the region, using a cheap alchemical process that produced a nasty liquid byproduct glowing with chaotic magical energies. Rather than devise a new process, the Director decided to discharge the waste into the swamp. As production increased, so did the pollution, and the sludge began to warp the wetland. The regionโ€™s typically reclusive bungisngis population became aggressive. It is only a matter of time before these mutated swamp giants lay waste to bullywugs.
