Waterdeep Wazoo, Tarsakh 3, 1493 DR (April 3, 2021)

Special report
Tarsakh 3, 1493 DR


There are reports of trouble afoot in the City of the Dead.  Sir Ambrose Everdawn, the well known and beloved sentinel of the ward told our correspondent that he saw a strange writhing mass and a hooded figure leaving a Crypt last night.  He was too far to engage before the mysterious creatures entered the sewers.  When asked for comment, the palace declined to weigh in on the rumors, except to remind citizens that the City of the Dead is closed at night and citizens should not trespass there after dark for their own safety.  Sir Everdawn believes that the sighting is related to a series of bizarre grave desecrations in recent weeks as he found several human fingerbones near the sewer entrance.
